Let's just say, for the sake of argument, that Menzingen truly no longer was driving for a merely practical accord with the Roman apostates.
It still would not change the fact that the SSPX has substantially morphed its orientation over the last 12 years with all the preparations leading up to the desired sellout.
So, if the deal was really dead, what would Menzingen have to do to restore confidence and trust to the laity and clergy?
Here are some suggestions:
1) The current staff in Menzingen must resign (and perhaps even leave the SSPX, as their orientation has brought the SSPX to the brink of total chaos);
2) The 2012 General Chapter declaration must be repealed, and replaced with one consistent with the policy of Archbishop Lefebvre;
3) The concomitant 6 ephemeral conditions must likewise be repealed, as being completely repugnant to the policy of ABL, and the survival of the SSPX;
4) Bishop Williamson must be reinstated post-haste;
5) An emergency Chapter must be convoked to accomplish 1-4;
Note: Even if all the above we're accomplished, it would only bring the SSPX back in time to about June/July, 2012!!! Meaning, all the other damaging developments which have occurred over the last 12-13 years to prepare for the sellout would still remain in place (e.g., the placement of company yes-men in all the seminaries, district offices, media outlets, etc).
Humanly speaking, that realization means this article is completely frivolous, since the measures that would be required to restore sanity and trust back into the SSPX have absolutely no hope of succeeding.
And that in turn tells me that the SSPX will continue its dissolution, as it merges in a trajectory with Conciliarism, with or without a deal.
Self-censure to become acceptable to Rome has telegraphed to Rome that they can destroy the SSPX by indefinate procrastination with regard to the coveted practical accord.
Look what has transpired in pursuit of it just in the last 6 months!!
Menzingen has destroyed the SSPX as it once existed, and the means of restoration (above, for starters) have no hope.
You draw the conclusion.
