LOT: The Resistance and the SSPX should re-unite if Bishop Fellay has really repented. We heard what he said. We thank God no deal was made...
Yes, we heard that sspx was perhaps delivered from an "Agreement" because of an extra outpouring of graces from the 3rd Rosary Crusade, (or was it the 4th?). Even though the 3rd RC was over (March, 2010) long before the Preamble and subsequent Declaration (Oct. or Nov. 2011 and April 15, 2012 respectively) were written, a surplus of 'fairy dust' still remained in the air, apparently. I can not imagine that among those 500 people in attendance, a few, at least, would not have gone up to Bp. Fellay afterwards and pursued the matter more in depth. But I'll bet they didn't. I mean, if there was a "deliverance," from what quarter did that deliverance come? Can Bp. Fellay take credit for having backtracked just in the nick of time? No, it was he who told the folks in Sydney in Sept. 2012 that he had been "betrayed" by the pope. Most of us took that to mean that +Fellay and the Holy See were well on the way to a deal, and the pope turned the tables on him. So was the SG saying on Oct. 12, 13 of 2013 that he was now happy that no such agreement had occurred.
You have an interesting outlook on the way things went down in those
years, hollingsworth. I thought it was a bit odd that suddenly the Rosary
Crusades seemed to fizzle out without any explanation -- as though there
had been a "word" put in by one of those curious special messages, like
maybe an e-mail from a cardinal in the Vatican or whatever. Something
like "If you know what's good for you, just knock off those 'crusades'!"
But the "fairy dust settling" is an apt analogy. Any one of the
500 in
attendance going up to pursue the matter would have received the typical
COLD SHOULDER treatment. I'm a Roger Cardinal Mahony questioner,
and I can assure you, these kind do not answer questions they don't want
to answer. They turn on their heel and walk away from you. They'll even
do that when it means leaving a line of people who are waiting to speak
to them, to go chew the fat with a circle of cronies while the queue gawks
in disbelief. They have no shame. And +Fellay is in the same category,
IMHO: without shame.
BTW, Fellay will really repent when hell freezes over.
