The soi disant "trads" are bitchmeisters. They have ZERO authority and they have ZERO effectiveness. As the account shows it is ROME, THE POPE, AND HIS CURIA that is doing the fighting.
The "Trads" oppose Rome, The Pope, The Curia. They pride themselves on fighting modernism when in reality they are nettlesome busybodies whose speciality is private judgement, carping, caviling, criticising and opposition to divinely-constituted authority.
On another current thread, one can witness the Calvinists going nuts with material promotomed by the SSPX, Lefebvre himself (and other soi disant "trads")etc involving photos of the Holy Father which have been subjected to ignorant or disingenuous interpretations meant to cast him in the worst possible light. The Pope-haters are rolling in this disinformation as though they were Tabbies in Catnip.
You can support the "Trads" all you like. So far, all they have "accomplished" is disunity. Jesus established a Hierarchy and gave The Keys to Peter. There IS a Divinely-constituted authority and it was not given to soi disant "Trads." ALL Catholics, by their nature, are traditionalists and it is THE MAGISTERIUM, not Lefebvre, Gruener, Matt, Vennari, McLucas, Galvin et al who decides what constitutes Tradition.
I think you know what Jesus had to say to the Pharisees which were the soi disant "Trads" of that time
