Although at first blush this seems like a pretty straightforward story that isn't related to the more pressing news today with the SSPX's status, it really is at the heart of the issue.  Not to say that the overarching spiritual situation, i.e. being joined to and regularized with Modernist heretics, isn't critical, but the greatest and most obvious danger is the day to day situations that will arise.  

Take this issue with the baseball game.  If the SSPX had regularized last month, this situation would have turned out much differently.  Fr. Burfitt would have let the administrator of the other school that OLS would not play if the young lady was participating.  That administrator would have called "Bishop" (sic) Olmstead.  Now, maybe Olmstead does nothing, maybe he tries to explain to the administrator how OLS is a little different than the other Catholic churches/schools in the area and that he doesn't have exactly the same governing capacity over it.  But, we all know that is going to be the exception to the rule, not just with Olmstead but with every local "Ordinary" throughout the country and the world.  9 times out of 10, the local "bishop" is going to make a call to the Fr. Burfitt in any given area and say: "Hey, this isn't how we do things here.  You are under my authority.  I am the bishop in this diocese and you are not going to give the diocese a black eye."  Because, the local newspapers and local tv and national television and Yahoo.com aren't going to say: "The good, well-intentioned diocese doesn't like what the SSPX parish is doing.  They want to make them play in the game...but blah blah personal prefecture blah blah."  No, the story is going to be that this crazy backwards parish in Phoenix won't play in a baseball game because of a girl on the other team and the spineless diocese won't do anything.  Now multiply that by 10,000 worldwide.  Whether it is not playing against another school's baseball team, or refusing to wed a Catholic to a non-Catholic in the church, or requiring marriage prep for a wedding, or withholding Communion at a wedding to a lesbian, or letting non-Catholic children into the school, or teaching traditional moral principles in the school, or railing against social evils in sermons, or selling books that oppose these same social evils etc. etc.  It is going to be practically a recreational activity for the local journalists in every diocese to go to their local SSPX parish and try to find something they can write a story about and pull the diocese into about.  You can see the evening newscast: "Joe Smith here at Our Lady of Sorrows in Phoenix, AZ.  This church, fully accepted by the local Catholic diocese, is selling these books.  Look at this one, about the Jєωs!  Look at this one about the roles of men and women.  Look at this one about the Crusades.  And, hear what the priest said in his sermon!  He talked about how non-Catholics are heretics, schismatics or pagans!"  It is going to be such an easy story, such an easy way to create a conflict that the journalists can practically live off.  Rome and each diocese is going to let that go on about 2 1/2 minutes before they come down like a hammer on each individual SSPX parish.  And there isn't a thing Fellay could do even if he were inclined to, which he won't be.  And what about all the diocesan initiatives?  What about the percentage of donations from all religious houses in the dioceses which are required to go to the diocesan structure?  Your and my money going to pay for pedophile legal defense every week.  And, that isn't even addressing malice on the part of local "bishops".  How many "bishops" out there are going to be taking every opportunity to put the local SSPX parish in uncomfortable situations?  When I went to the Indult and FSSP, the local "bishop" would come on a regular basis to give sermons and make speeches, not to mention having the Novus Ordo there.  Anything they could do to make sure the parishioners understood who was the sheriff in town.  What are the Fr. Burfitts of the world going to do?  Are they going to tell the local "bishop" to jump in a lake every week over some new issue?  We all know what is going to happen.  Either human respect is going to make more and more of the Fr. Burfitts to back down and submit "out of obedience" to their local "bishop" or they are going to complain up the chain of command.  And, there is no way that Fellay is going to tell  to engage in direct disobedience on a perpetual basis.

So, yes, of course, the association with an establishment that is contaminated with the poison of Modernism will have a terrible cursing effect on our parishes but, what is going to corrupt our children and annihilate the bulk of Catholicity within each parish is going to be the regular involvement and day to day events.

I hope and pray that Fr. Burfitt and all the other SSPX priests throughout the world realize and take to heart the fact that the days are numbered when they will have the ability to sit out of a baseball game, sell a truly Catholic book, give a truly Catholic sermon, or do anything else in their parish that may be offensive to any element of society.
