“Francis Received SSPX Superior General”
https://www.gloria.tv/post/Ltt2jkzfKcdv4VtNJwBN36o9C

Curiouser and curiouser...
It seems that Bergoglio’s near-term strategy is to “quarantine” the TLM within the SSPX. He’s hellbent on ridding regular diocesan parishes of the old Mass.

And now I’ll make a prediction of my own... If and when the TLM is confined solely to the SSPX, Bergoglio or his successor will anathematize them and declare them schismatic.

The SSPX always go's to the Vatican when called (that is a precedent set by Lefebvre). If your prediction comes true (and I'm not sure that it will, though it may)-Most likely any "anathematization" or declaration will be couched in the usual modernist lingo with nothing clearly defined- just as has happened in the past. However, it is not 1976 or 1988, and Pope Francis does not enjoy the same popularity that John Paul II did. It will not have the same effect of isolating the SSPX as John Paul II's declarations did. Those who want the Faith will find it, those who want the comfort of soft lies will not. Christus Rex victor!

Been there, done that - back to 1988. No big deal.

There will always be a remnant.
