From a Catholic Traditionalist perspective the noise surrounding the pending SSPX Episcopal Consecrations 2.0 continues to simmer and bubble.
In the background we have the continued signs that something isn't quite right in the Catholic Church.
- Blessing of Same-Sex couple
- Communion for the Married and Civilly Divorces
- Bishops preparing to ordain married men in the Roman rite where this is forbidden.
The first three are signs of the doctrinal and disciplinary crisis and the final one a consequence of people with poor foundations in how to adapt to and survive the crisis as a Catholic.

- [Tradicat Comments: It is now obvious to me that the result of the Experiment of Tradition requested by Archbishop Lefebvre and started by Pope Benedict XVI shattered the beliefs of the malcontents in the hierarchy. Persecuted Traditional Catholicism is the fertile ground, Modernist Catholicism is the rocky ground upon which the Church withers. (Matthew 13:5-6, Mark 4:16-17 link)]

That is a limited view as the external forces that prompted the SSPX 'response' have not altered significantly to make the assessment. Further, when those forces were mitigated under the Pontificate of B16, there was a notable change. So basically: The thesis is failed based on historical evidence.]
