I fully support Pope Benedict XVI’s efforts to lead Fellay and his apostate group home.

Your statement is a contradiction. If you supported the Pope's efforts, you would act in charity towards it, not use insulting terms. I'm going along with Pope Benedict the whole way. The things you are saying just don't coincide with what Pope Benedict says, namely that the SSPX has NO canonical status, but no ecclesiastical penalty. I don't know why you don't trust Pope Benedict. He knows this situation better than anyone. He's not being fooled, as you seem to think.

Fellay is imitating the worst practices of those who got their way by being disobedient: those who used altar girls at Mass did so illicitly and after years of the illicit and abusive practice, the Vatican accommodated the practice.

It was imprudent and harmful then, and it is imprudent and harmful now. It seems to be scandalous in both instances: gross flaunting of authority is rewarded.

Why do you support those who have been and remain apostates for decades in their brazen public hemming and hawing about whether to humbly submit to the authority of Peter’s successor?
