Everyone take a deep breath. I have given the correct interpretation. It is not a position statement on his desire or willingness to make a practical agreement with the modernists. It is simply a badly worded rhetorical point about jurisdiction.

The only interesting question here is whether he is correct about jurisdiction. Not whether he's a shill, controlled opposition, a sellout, etc.. If supplied jurisdiction allows him to found a religious order (which still sounds dubious to me), and if his doing so would be a good thing, let's hear about that.

It wouldn't be a religious order-- it would be a priestly group.  And the priestly group already exists, or rather, many priestly groups already exist.  He would not be founding anything.  

Just what exactly does he need jurisdiction for?  I gave a long list of actions which he's been performing his entire clerical career that he has never had jurisdiction to perform, and has always relied on the Church to supply it for him.  Would he, as the "leader" of an already established group of priest, suddenly be faced with performing actions he has never had to perform before, and that he thinks he can only perform with the blessing of a notorious and miserable pantheistic heretic?  

I've never demanded an explanation from H.E. for why he's chosen to proceed with a hands off approach.  In fact, so long as he continues to perform episcopal duties for the faithful who require them, I honestly don't think it makes a whole lot of difference.  But having been given such a woefully inadequate and disturbing one, it's hard to be content and not wonder just exactly what is going on.
