and the worst thing that could happen for the SSPX Episcopacy is they would be brought back into the Catholic Church and forced to hold regular positions like every single other Bishop.


And it is a good thing that you are not the Pope. I'm certain Pope Benedict XVI will do what he believes is the right thing to do. Then those of you who hate the SSPX ,and are more holy and more Catholic than the SSPX adherents (which I am not one), will be on firm ground doing nothing but grasping at straws and being uncharitable.

Thats not true. I can look at events, and look at the actions of the SSPX, the writings and make a conclusion. Williamson is probably the most bizarre; Fellay has a lot more sense, and I bet any upcoming split will involve those two.

Do I want the SSPX regularized? Absolutely. Nobody wins when people are taking off to a schismatic sect. What I think is just as important is that Papal Authority is respected. Without real obedience to the See, and to Catholicism's roots in the Pope, there is no healing of this unfortunate separation.

Mershon, I never accused you of being in the SSPX, but these kinds of stories from Williamson are almost always inflammatory because they are founded in his own fantasy world, peppered with Papal plots, and secret informants...
