I wonder if Bp. Fellay is just playing at being a fool or if he really is this foolish.
I tend to think he just wants to dump the SSPX as a hot potato and feels it's his responsibility to deliver it to Rome as intact as possible.
He is greasing the skids for an ecuмenical nightmare. Without Vatican II resolved, now Vatican I might not be required for "canonical regularity" with the Old Catholics.
And every Council might be up for grabs except for the first seven with the Orthodox.
Makes me think of this line from St. Pius X with one adjustment.
"….And now, overwhelmed with the deepest sadness, We ask Ourselves, Venerable Brethren, what has become of the Catholicism of the Sillon SSPX? Alas! this organization which formerly afforded such promising expectations, this limpid and impetuous stream, has been harnessed in its course by the modern enemies of the Church, and is now no more than a miserable affluent of the great movement of apostasy being organized in every country for the establishment of a One-World Church which shall have neither dogmas, nor hierarchy, neither discipline for the mind, nor curb for the passions, and which, under the pretext of freedom and human dignity, would bring back to the world (if such a Church could overcome) the reign of legalized cunning and force, and the oppression of the weak, and of all those who toil and suffer.
