“I am writing this to serve as a lesson for everyone. The day that the SSPX abandons the spirit and rules of its Founder, it will be lost.”
-Warning of Fr. Ludovic-Marie Barrielle
Econe, 1982
“For that which used to be my spiritual homeland now lies in ruins. For a whole decade it has been busily destroying itself, in part openly, in part secretly. It has become ashamed of its origins, it has disowned its founder, it has betrayed its secret entrances to the enemy so that he can invade and occupy the fortress.”
-Resignation letter of Fr. Arnold Trauner, SSPX
June 25, 2013
Correction: He is in Austria; his nephews are priests with CMRI, but not a Antione’s in Minnesota.

This does not jive with most SSPX priests. Could this cause a split within? Truth serum can be tough medicine.
I think you are right. The Resistance is the split between the SSPX. I think at this point the good SSPX priests on both sides are fulfilling their vocation in a desperate time providing a very grateful Catholic community with valid Sacraments.
SSPX are traitors to their founder, and to Tradition.
Not all in the SSPX agree with that. Most people I know side with Vigano. There’s something afoot…
@salliperson they just reported it (eg The Vatican Activates Extrajudicial Proceedings Against Archbishop Viganò)
