any ‘offer’ made to Tradition must guarantee us the freedom to be able to continue our work

(1) The only repository of tradition is the Magisterium.

The SSPX proves here that it is deluded into believing that it possesses the Magisterium.

(2) There is nothing the Holy See "must" do for the SSPX - this is not the language of those who pursue the obedience of faith.

(3) Is Pfluger now the head of the SSPX and able to make authoritative statements on their behalf?

Where is Fellay?

At this point, I say good riddance to these Latinate Protestants.

You prefer the modern mass? If not, you should be thankful that God inspired the SSPX to successfully defend the Latin Mass and Catholic Tradition from modernist quislings who overran most other parts of the Church in the West.

Good question. I have a feeling that regardless, there will be a real schism (the more proper term, instead of "Protestant," which carries a specific connotation. They will be more like the "Old" Catholics or the Orthodox). It is just a matter of how big it will be, even with the overtures that the Pope gave with his removal of the excommunications. I don't think this priest is doing any good for this process. Silence would have been better, which is, interestingly enough, Bishop Fellay's M.O. during most of this process.

In more felicitous news, I hope the matter with the traditionalist religious who follow the Redemptorist rule in Scotland (and who ended their affiliation with the SSPX after the motu proprio) is finally resolved.

I have said many times before, we use the term Cafeteria Catholics for those who wish to pick and choose from the Church's teachings.

It is obvious more than ever that they will not accept Vatican II as a Church Council, even though they have rightful criticism we all may share towards application and abuse of the principles.

I obey the rightful Church, not a breakaway Church, but because Jesus himself entrusted the Church to help us all through life. Out of obedience to God, we follow those who are ordained by God and are answerable to God.
