I agree with you that Williamson won't return to the Church, but I would refrain from calling him an idiot. He is very clever (and I don't mean that as a compliment). He has the charisma to gather together all of the sedevacantists and have himself elected Pope/anti-pope.

I suspect this is what he wants and, frankly, I hope he does it.

Like the "Old Catholics," he and his followers will then slink into insignificance.

He will have lots of company. There are already a half dozen sedevacantist types claiming to be Pope.
