In the name of "Christian unity" and true "ecumenism," let us all redouble our efforts for the canonical regularization of the SSPX with the Roman Catholic Church. While this interview might appear to some to be stand offish, I believe Bishop Fellay understands Romanitas better than most of us, and this appears to be very hopeful to me. The cause of Tradition will certainly be advanced with the addition of 450 priests fighting together with the FSSP, ICKSP and the diocesan priests who are offering the Mass of All Ages.

The modernists' days are numbered.

Interesting date, to say the least.

What would really marginalize us would be a concession closing off Tradition in a kind of Indian reservation or enclave within the Church.

No chance at a Tridentine Rite, it appears.

It also appears that Fellay will not back off the objections the SSPX has to Vatican II--his "doctrinal" issues.

Since the Church will not compromise on Vatican II, specifically Religious Liberty and Ecumenism, any chance at reunion is hopeless at this point.
