T.S. Flanders, editor of 1P5, reacts to the SSPX's announcement that they will proceed with the Episcopal Consecrations in July. As I said earlier, "What else could they do?" Rome's tactic was clear: wait until the current Bishops died.

From One Peter Five
By Timothy Flanders, MA
Our Lady of Sorrows, Softener of Evil Hearts, pray for us sinners.
I usually take Wednesdays to unplug from Vatican News for a second while I take my breath and plug back into reality – my wife and family. Yesterday was no different, and especially important for me to unplug, for my own sanity and spiritual health, at the beginning of the Great Fast of Lent.
I finished some other work this morning and then finally looked at the news. I was saddened to find out that a break in sacramental communion among brothers appears inevitable now. The SSPX has officially confirmed that it will proceed with the consecrations of bishops on July 1st of this year.
Let’s read the whole statement, but before we do, I’d like to point out one thing: please observe the tone of this letter. It emphasises charity and respect but an insistence of the conscientious act that the SSPX believes it must do. Therefore I ask all Christians to imitate the SSPX in their tone and charity – even if you disagree.
