This sort of bullying was not uncommon before Vatican II which is one reason many welcomed that Council.

es, but what they actually welcomed was a Maoist revolution replete with canonical firing squads to dispatch those who refused the revolution.

Use of the 'calumny charge' is but a scare tactic meant to silence those who have reasonable concerns and questions. BF knows darn well he'd be nailed to the wall if he actually had to prove it in a court of law. IMO, a court is the LAST place he'd want to be, as it would provide an 'uncontrollable' platform for those he means to silence.

That actually hits it directly on the head. The only caveat being, that H.E. has an almost unlimited source of funds to play with which to dabble in the courtroom, whereas most of us could not afford a day's worth of competent legal representation. Regardless, they are simply playing at intimidation from the ivory tower, casting epiphets down upon the rabble.

Real Catholics are prepared to contend with the powers and principalities - and know that right and wrong aren't decided by frivolous suits in court.

But, alas, it appears that what once was a "pious union" has now become a lucrative business, and as such, must now employ the methods and collaborations of the same powers and principalities to subdue its perceived enemies in the courts of тαℓмυdic justice.

I think so many organisations over time lose their commitment to a cause and start to compromise their objectives. If Bp. Fellay can't resist negotiating with Rome all the time, it is not hard to imagine him wanting to fit into the modern world more comfortably. Of course, the world of business is very corrupt and one would expect true Catholics to avoid benefiting from doing that, but I fear high principle has given way to material gain and political acceptance. The moral gloss has gone and we just have another puveyor of liturgical antiquity.
