. . . I can't help thinking that some (not all) of the SSPX are so invested in their opposition status that they just can't give it up. Being opposed and being angry have become their reason for being.
Maybe there'll be a split, and the folks who genuinely are concerned about the state of the Church can return and make a contribution towards reformation and improvement -- and the folks who just want to be mad at somebody can go on enjoying themselves.
Most of the SSPXers who wanted reconciliation joined FSSP.
