Update--Rome Moves Quickly When it Wants to

Well, this did not take long. Reports out of Rome today and yesterday reveal that the SSPX, as a condition of having the excommunications of its four bishops rescinded, must accept Vatican II.
Here are two links:

Right now, the SSPX is on its heels. The SSPX has done its best over the decades to keep Catholic traditionalists from embracing the sedevacantist position. Despite my sympathies with the sedevacantist interpretation, I have admired the Society's resolve in committing to their position. Now, unless Bishop Fellay can reassure Rome and traditionalists loyal to the SSPX, he is going to create a large number of Catholics like me who will never agree to Vatican II.

    Dear Mr. Catesby,
    Go to your study if you must and fire off polemics, but I suspect that somewhere deep inside that burnished, traditionalist exterior is an uncertain Galilean boy who, occasionally, very late at night, allows himself to wonder what might happen if suddenly, in a twinkling of an eye, everyone becomes like him. How, then, to define oneself, if not for a hopelessly corrupt "other"? A maddening conundrum for honest intellects...

    peace, love, and revolution,
