Sorry, but I couldn't disagree more. It's not all a show. Of course when somebody does something unjust to you that may cause others to perceive you in a way in which your not, such as being excommunicated, you stand up for yourself. Of course the excommunication is invalid in every which way including Tuesday!!! And some day we do hope that Rome comes back to the Catholic church because like it or not, that's where the head of the fake Catholic church is now, though they think otherwise. And of course, the resistance needs to keep attacking the SSPX to continue to justify their reason for breaking away from them. By their fruits you will know them. God has blessed the SSPX with new religious, churches, faithful for many years and it continues to thrive and grow. And we are not the "neo" SSPX. Respectfully, I disagree with Fr. Girouard. To believe him is to say that all are priests are lying to us or are just plain stupid . Neither are the case.
