So - what's up with the 'Resistance'???
The 'resistance' started off around the dining room table in the Asian district. That's where Fr. Pfeiffer and Fr. Chazal started the ball rolling with their fiery YouTube sermons etc.
Thus began the saga of the resistance with their "Sell-Out" battle cry.
Eventually, other like minded priests who, over the years, had been expelled from the SSPX joined them in a loose association of members. Finally, they were joined by Bishop Williamson who crossed a line, was expelled and proceeded to start consecrating bishops (Faure, Aquino, and Zendejas). For some reasons (sanity) he refused to consecrate Fr. Pfeiffer. So Fr. Pfeiffer attempted to get himself consecrated as a bishop ... not certain if he had to pay to receive that doubtful sacrament.
Those were the glory days for the 'resistance' and as I predicted they didn't last long.
Soon the reasons why they were expelled created fractures and they began to split up into factions.They couldn't follow orders from their superiors so why should they do the hard work when they didn't want to? One notable example was Fr. Girouard's refusal to go to another 'resistance' mass centre.
The 'resistance' has split-up generally along the following fault-lines:Sede-Vacantists, Bishop Williamson (Ecclesia-Vacantists), Fr. Pfeiffer (just crazy), Mercenaries and US-Resistors. The US-Resistor lines are a little blurry, but when they aren't taking shots at the SSPX they take shots at each other.
So, if we count the original priests expelled, we are two decades into this 'Sell-Out' and the SSPX still isn't regularized and hasn't sold out.
It would be a little funny if I hadn't lost good friends and it wasn't so tragic.
