It makes one wonder what resources have been allocated by the Society to combat the opposition to its changes.
Bp. Fellay accepted that there would be (and no doubt planned for) a split were there to be an accord with Rome, but the split is now caused by his eagerness to treat with Rome.
From all the evidence the impetus on his part remains and I have no doubt that the management now wants to see the back of the old guard even without an agreement and wants the laity to adjust to a new era of co-operation with the conciliar church.
Once embarked on this programme, it will proceed with rooting out those inside the Society that are sympathetic to the opposition and will marginalise those lacking enthusiasm.
I do not think the genie can be put back inside the bottle.
The winds of change have visited this corner of the remnant and have destabled [?] it irrevocably.
Don't get me wrong, Wessex, you know I'm a big fan.
I'm just having some fun here:
programme..........marginalise..........destabilised.........
The winds of change have irrevocably destabilized (that's American for
destabilised) this corner of the remnant.
You didn't want to use another one of "those" words, did you.
His Eagerness B. Fellay............ I like it.............. :chef:
(The next time I see "H.E. Bp. Fellay," I won't be able to forget "His Eagerness!"
-- I guess you could say "H.E.'s in a class by himself, now.")
I do not think the genie can be put back inside the bottle. I think Our Lady can put the genie back in, but that's about the only way.
Mohammedans are really scared of genie -- they call them "the jinn."
They ought to know ---- a.k.a. "Allah!" But if you tell them that, they'll kill you.
