"We can only pray that both sides can set aside there pride and get this thing moving. They will be a great service to Holy Mother Church."
What would be a service to Holy Mother Church would be if the priests, bishops and the Pope himself returned to the ancient practice of working for the salvation of souls and the teaching and practice of authentic Catholic doctrine and tradition.
This hasn't been happening for quite some time now. Will the existing hierarchy off the Church compromise their Modernism by leaving it aside, and once again taking up the authentic apostolic charge?
Until Modernism itself is left of the bargaining table, all deals are perpetually off.

I don't entirely disagree with you. I am simply saying that I think if they would regularize they could do quite a bit to restore sanity to the Church. They have some support in Rome, even in the curia. They also have many enemies. Sometimes where someone falls on that list is not always obvious to the public. There is much discussion going on in Rome between key society people and key prelates. This thing can happen, and I think it will. When it does, the SSPX will be like leaven. Until then, they are marginalized.
I hope that clarifies my position.
