The feeling I get when I see a Seanjohnson post and hope it might be worth reading.

How long is the Resistance going to be meaninglessly focused on attacking the SSPX? In what positive way can the Resistance show that it is building up Tradition and contributing to the Cause of Catholic Restoration? Hardly any. 

This was a good Conference, with many Traditional Catholic Bishops, Priests and Laity attending or supporting. Nothing to see here.

Meanwhile, as the SSPX continues to focus on the really important work of forming Priests, fostering Vocations, caring for orphans, teaching children in schools, forming strong Catholic Families, and the like, there's a good fruit of so-called Trad-ecuмenism: If we combine the Society of St. Pius X, the Fraternity of St. Peter, and the Institute of Christ the King, Tradition is expected to have more Priests than mainstream Priests in France in just less than 20 years. https://centurioweblog.blogspot.com/2014/07/traditional-priests-in-france-until-2050.html?m=1 

That's the only way the only important battle will be ultimately won, not by the Resistance being divisive. More Priests, more holy Priests, more strong Catholic Families, and more of everything that attracts souls to Tradition, and leads to Restoration in the Church.

XS, I totally disagree with your upbeat description of the re-branded SSPX 's activities. 
Judas's bank account was looking very upbeat after he received his Pharisaic pay-off too.

But your opening point was good.  What is the trad resistance doing?  And I use a lower case "r", because the Broadstair's Resistance has already thrown in the towel, as the SSPX scoops up independent chapels left & right.

The remnant resistance needs new leadership.   Who could come forth to rally us?

Isn't there even an official Church teaching about this? For example, it is licit to work closely with heretics (protestants) in pro-Life endeavors. We just don't worship with them.
Doesn't Mortalium Animos speak to this?
