OK, wow, I guess this in not an April Fool’s joke. Of course all of this good stuff that is now happening is due almost exclusively to P.E. Benedict. The preparation was going on before he was elected Pope, and the path is now laid and 98% to the door but for Fellay’s own refusal to step over the threshold.
Fellay is wrong if he really believes Benedict opened the door for some sentimental reasons of attachment to the ‘old’ liturgy. For Pete’s sake (pun intended?!), Benedict was one of those who ushered in the changes. Benedict has a vast vision Fellay will never comprehend in his wildest dreams. One is a good man and one is a great man. Benedict’s goal is unity, not restoration per se.
Without restoration, unity is kind of pointless.
Do you think that SSPX’s issues pertain only to the liturgy? Because your post sure sounds like you do.
