Your run-down on Econe is ridiculous. You have been fed a lot of garbage that you apparently believe and now you spew it up. The Econe got rave reviews from the Vatican envoys--which infuriated the French bishops. Your version, that it was a 6-year experiment--is silly on the surface. Experiment in what? It was an enormous success. By every standard of decency it should have been honored with continuance. It was reaping hundreds of devout vocations. It was prospering beyond anyone's wildest dreams--this is why Rome sought to destroy it--to appease the French bishops who are on the cusp of a break with Rome, the same bishops who sabotaged an agreement recently that would have healed the breech with SSPX. You are wrong as well in your interpretation of the Archbishop's signing of the agreement. Yes, he took back his word--the next day. He slept on it and realized he couldn't trust Rome. And he was absolutely right. If you follow these things--and you clearly don't--Rome reneged on its agreement with the FSSP. It's one of the reasons for the huge mistrust on the part of SSPX. They see how Rome operates.
