Dichotomies:

Being raped or being kidnapped?

Badly said low rent novus ordo Masses or excommunication for adherence to schism (you can attend their Masses which are truly Masses but you cannot give them adherence as they are excommunicated schismatics)?

As to the second dichotomy: A restored norm of Tridentine Masses (at least SOME said in manageable time of 30 minutes or so and the full 2 hour extravaganza with all bells and whistles at other Masses) and some novus ordo Masses (with rubrics strictly controlled and revised as necessary for orthodoxy) for those who have been taught to fear all things Tridentine.

It is true I general support for SSPX pastoral activity but I am sure it's not for not all the reasons they would like support.

I suspect that at least one VIP in Rome has a similar attitude.

While it's true they do not have thousands of seminarians, proportionally, they are much more fruitful in vocations than the NO Church, but apparently very similar to FSSP (rough numbers from a Trad website). Yet another reason for Rome to pay attention.
