The storms are great and the mutinous and the sad nervous ones are tempted to shut their eyes, run and live in dreamland of yesteryears.
The cross is a disturbing darkness for all, especially for those who prefer times when the lake was calm. But those who remain steadfast with Peter in Christ will, by grace, endure to the end and save their souls. Meanwhile, we pray for these others who attack Peter in his hour of need and countless persecutions. How tragically unlike the Saints! See Hoyos' quote from St. Catherine of Siena who would scorn any attempt to even suggest the Pope could break with the "substance" of Tadition (as opposed to the passing accidents of other traditions--like burnings at the stake---which the Church rejected as not being part of her substance, the Deposit of Faith which only Rome can interpret and pass on.
I wouldn't be that hard on our compatriots. They are Tridentine advocates, which is fine, but the dispute with the SSPX is about more than the Tridentine Mass.
JPII earnestly wants to bring the SSPX back, and, it appears, Fellay is in dialogue with the Vatican.
But the hair-on-fire types, like Williamson, will simply not concur, and they will never concur.
I look for a partial reunion, with the diehards following Williamson off into the weeds.
