I suspect that a good number of members on CI are still attached to sspx.  So readers will hear little of the truth about that fallen organization on this site.  Confiteor deo is a refreshing exception in her recent post.  Normally we'll hear little here of substance on any topic related to sspx.  The fact is that growing numbers of priests in the Society are revealed to have practiced a perverted lifestyle over at least 35 years. And their predations are routinely covered up by the leadership, to this very day.  If sspx really wanted to do justice, their leaders would confess publicly to the sex crimes of its priests.  They would return the deeds of all chapel properties throughout the world to their original and rightful owners. They would put their  financial affairs in order, shut down all business and investment enterprises in which they are involved, and dissolve the apostolate altogether.  

And leave millions of Faithful Catholics without the Mass and the Sacraments?

I am "guilty" of attending SSPX masses, but I have seen a lot of bad things. It seems to me that there is a serious psychological problem with most of the SSPX priests. I have not know that many, but judging from the ones I know (about 8 I would guess), I would say that the "SSPX mentality", or "corporate culture" is very problematic. They seem to see the faithful as a nuisance, and that they are really generous to provide you with the sacraments, as if it was not their duty.
I would say that this is a social problem. Their minds are so focused, so isolated in their own organization, that they cannot really understand how other people live their lives. They seem to have no empathy.
Abp. Lefebvre organized the SSPX like any other missionary congregation, as far as I understand, but it seems clears to me that this model doesn't work in the terrible crisis of the Church, because no religious congregation was ever this isolated in the Church's history.
They answer to no one. Even after the nefarious secret dealings with Rome, they still function quite independently. I believe that this created a kind of bubble that they live in. That's why nobody can ask questions. Whoever raises his voice is treated like a troublemaker. The priests fear trouble. They fear upsetting their superior, because they know that they can be expelled very fast if they disagree about something. They have seem it before. If you don't agree with the mandatory mentality, you are seem as an outsider, and you'll surely be out very quickly.
That is also why they feel entitled to protect bad and criminal priests. They answer to no one. The superior is always right. His is the voice of God.

I don't think that we can have a definite in times of crisis as the one we live in, but I believe that Bishop Williamson's position when articulating the Resistance was very interesing, because he tackled this exact problem. He refused to articulate another SSPX like Bishop Faure did. I think that that he has learned that you cannot really make authority work in the crisis of the Church.

A "confederation" of semi-independent priests could work better than an old fashioned religious congregation like the SSPX in times of crisis, which is the idea of the Resistance, as I understand it, and it makes a lot of sense.

I find it much easier to trust in one good priest that I know well than in a religious congregation as a whole. It is a strange idea, but, these days, you have to know your priest. You cannot simply accept any priest that HQ sends to administer you the Sacraments. Unfortunately.

I believe that without a Catholic Pope, no authority will ever function well in the Church.

Your impression of the “Post +W” priestly SSPX formation is correct.

There have been many topics posted on Cathinfo dealing with the dysfunctional behaviors of the new generation of SSPX priests.

These young men have been programmed into thinking it’s all about them.  Their egos are stroked, while their intellects are put on ice.  I can’t help but think they’re actually under some form of mind control.

This priestly culture is not Catholic.

Any priest who is too concerned about political correctness, as they are, has lost his salt.

Yes, I rather preferred the old model where you had a bunch of Independent priests around ... who had left the Conciliar Church and set up chapels.  Most of them are gone now, but we still have Fr. Carley in Akron having daily Mass in his mid-80s.
