No, there is no guarantee, that in 2.5 years time, after everything had been ceded, they could theoretically close the Parish, and take their booty. That was the problem

Fr. Fullerton addressed your concern. Yes, the SSPX has sold off buildings and properties - to purchase/build larger chapel(s) in the same areas after the original chapel(s) could no longer amply hold the increasing number of Mass-goers. Big difference between taking cash and abandoning the flock (which is what you're concerned about), and making their chapels bigger and better for the existing and growing flock (which is what they've done in the past.)

Look, aside from the not staffing the Parish, etc....THe demand of a take it or leave it decision, does not inspire confidence.
