I think the expulsion of Fr. Aulagnier and the SSPX's increased intransigence and hate-filled anti-Papal rhetoric since have demonstrated that the SSPX is simply not interested in reconciling with a fully orthodox and legitimate Supreme Pontiff. I pray that they would see sense, but I am not hopeful.

Allow me to fix the typos in the above post.

I think the expulsion of Fr. Aulagnier and the SSPX's justifiable intransigence and firm calls for return to Catholic doctrine since have demonstrated that the SSPX is simply not interested in reconciling with an unorthodox and erroneous, even though, legitimate Supreme Pontiff. I pray the Vatican will see sense, but I am not hopeful.

Of course there is no interest in reconciling with the Pontiff as long as he denies Tradition. Let the Pope conform to Catholic practice and teachings first, then reconciliation with traditionalists will follow. It is not hateful to say such things. It is, in fact, merely belaboring the obvious. We don't worship popes. Catholics follow them--when they clearly teach the truth. But we must resist them when they don't. That is Theology 101. No pope who prays with animists and gives pectoral crosses to Anglican "archbishops" should be taken at face value, imho.
