Who can predict what will happen? Nobody. So, now there is a new leadership in the SSPX. Then an unliturgically-minded seeming anti-traditional Pope is elected and the SSPX is suddenly allowed to receive sacramental confessions and to witness marriages. People had expected that Pope Benedict might be the one to reconcile the SSPX, because of his understanding of Tradition. Bergoglio from his time in Argentina: Bergoglio had helped the SSPX in Argentina with their legal status. Tornielli pointed out that De Gallareta, elected as an assistant, is intransigent.

Yet today we see the “process of the Church’s self-destruction” may be accelerating. In that case we will have to wait a few more years, hoping for an increase in that awareness, which could occur along with and parallel to the acceleration in the process of the Church’s self-destruction.

If we do not arrive at some canonical regularization, that simply means that the hierarchy is not yet sufficiently convinced of the urgent need for that contribution. I can only repeat what was explained clearly by my superiors from the start: the canonical situation in which the Society presently finds itself is the result of its resistance to the errors that infest the Church consequently the possibility of the Society arriving at a regular canonical situation does not depend on us but on the hierarchy’s acceptance of the contribution that Tradition can make to the restoration of the Church. Tornielli quotes from the old interview that Pagliarani gave: “Sun sets on the line of dialogue with Rome”. I suspect that it is his wishful thinking. How he gets to that conclusion is anyone’s guess.

Turncoat Tornielli at Inside Vatican has put a negative spin on this election, concluding that an “agreement is farther off”.
