Rather underwhelmed...

...with the statement put out by the Lefebvrists re the possibility of their being brought into full communion with the Church. Translated it seems to read as "basically, er, no thanks, but we'll talk to you again later". A bit of gratitude for the generosity they've been shown over recent months wouldn't have gone amiss...Rome has been v. patient and understanding...

Yes, it appears they still think they know better than the Pope and the vast majority of the mainstream Church. All the more reason to be wary of bringing them back in in their current state of mind, never mind some of the views many of them hold. A large humble pie is in order, plus a look at the good example of the Ordinariate Anglicans who came in in a spirit of humility and rejoicing. I didn't hear them lecturing the Pope about what was wrong with the Church.
