Well you couldn't say it was not going to happen. If you want to "save face" as a group as it were, you gotta get rid of the member(s) making your already bad reputation worse.
Thanks to the SSPX support site Rorate Caeli, I just found this out now:

You'll have to translate it using the computer (right click) to English, but in a nutshell: Williamson that anti-semite "bishop" is gone!!!!
At least the most extreme element of the SSPX bishops is dead, but don't expect a peachy reunion with Rome any time soon, with the SSPX seething hatred to Mueller. My post a few months ago about their conditions for canonical status (and what has led me to be disgusted with the whole society, aside from losing a couple people I know to their local chapel) means that despite the shake-up, they are still going to be stubborn whiny spoiled children, kicking and screaming and saying "Rome and B16 are heretics! We are the true Roman Catholic church, and the Novus Ordo is defective/sinful!"
Anyways enjoy. YCRCM.
UPDATE: OCTOBER 24, 2012 326pm EST
As famous reality TV game show host, Jeff Probst, always says, "The tribe has spoken." It's now official from the SSPX:

PAX. YCRCM.
Interesting.... though not, as you said, completely unforeseen. I guess that we have to keep praying that they will come to an understanding of where they are wrong.
ReplyDeleteGod bless, and thanks for the update.
