One, the ban Benedict lifted concerned quite a few more people than Fellay. He couldn’t very well lift it for some and keep others out. So the Pope decided to give them a chance to come back and reconcile.

Fellay’s been given a chance to repent. He has not yet taken it. Until he does, he’ll still be under discipline for his violations of canon law. And he certainly won’t be a priest or have any legitimate authority.

Again, this is just my opinion - Fellay isn’t interested in reconciliation. Eventually he will tire the patience, or say something stupid and get himself excommunicated again.

Perhaps Fellay will surprise me. We shall see.

“One, the ban Benedict lifted concerned quite a few more people than Fellay.”

What “ban” and what “people” are you talking about?

It was Pope Benedict, unlike his immediate predecessor, who declared the Traditional Latin Mass was never abrogated.

So what ban was lifted?
