You are far from infallible Sinkspur, further there are those in the Curia that agree with the SSPX issues vis-a-vis the liturgy. Card. Ratzinger has approached Mgr. Fellay with a commission to look into the liturgical issues with SSPX and Vatican theologians. Frankly the Campos resolution and the offer on the table are so close to the "asking price" of the SSPX that your protestations seem a bit shrill. As for Bp. Williamson, he may end up in the SSPV if your claims about him are correct. That will be sad, but it isn't the core issue.

How do you answer the question? (Stipulating that the offer is accepted with the Tridentine Indult requirement deleted and that Rite universally available.)

The Indult requirement will not be deleted. Period. The normative Mass is the Novus Ordo, and, even a Pope as acquiescent to the Tridentine Liturgy as JPII recognizes that it would be undermined by establishing another pseudo-normative mass.

The Campos resolution established another fraternity, the SSJV, which is not what the SSPX wants universally. If Rome were going to grant a blanket recognition for any priest to say the Tridentine Liturgy publicly whenver he chose, it would have granted that to Campos(since Campos wanted the same thing).

I won't leave the Church under any circumstances.
