Good analysis, Wallflower. I don't think there's anything to add.

"...does not seek primarily a canonical recognition, to which it has a right as a Catholic work."

It seems this attitude is contrary to the spirit of obedience. No religious institute has a "right to a canonical recognition." Such things lie entirely within the decision, for good or ill, of the superiors. It is the superiors who have the duty, right, and authority to grant or withhold that canonical recognition at their will.

The work may have a right to exist, but the institute not so much.

is there any part of you that feels maybe -- just maybe -- the resistance was wrong about Bishop Fellay?

Nope. It's due to the very fact that there is a "Resistance," that these are the head lines today. If it weren't for a bishop and a handful of priests and faithful, I truly don't believe there would be a SSPX today.

Bishop Fellay causes his own problems when he consistently contradicts himself and uses 'political speak' in interviews. I don't know what his intentions are, but I do know he is untrustworthy - a trait of a bad leader.
