Maybe you should look again, without all the anger.

I'm a happy person. But I do see anger and hatred and attacks in the stuff coming from the SSPX.

Like I said, I pity them.

The SSPX like most organization who separated from the Church, is not monolithic. Like I said, people like Fellay are pretty reasonable, and Fellay is a good writer. When he has loose cannons like Williamson around, he gets painted with the same brush.

I am in no way a competent judge of schism. I can say someone is in schism, and that is my opinion. I would say while Fellay and Williamson are both excommunicated, Fellay seems more likely to work to heal this rift, and Williamson seems to do his best to widen the rift. I think the differences in approach, where the Williamson camp of Lefebvrists prefer to leak letters and poison the well, Fellay likes to work with more noble tools.

TO make my motivation clear, if the SSPX were regularized, I would most definitely look to them for Tridentine Masses, depending on the Priest offering them.
