It's the French bishops who will have their back to the wall and not the FSSP when the laity use the LA interpretation of Vatican Council II. Everything changes.The LA interpretation of Vatican Council II and Church documents, may seem new in the Church but it is something really old.With it the French bishops are blocked from using bad theology to create ‘ a parallel Church’, which is a rupture with Tradition.The laity will be able to ask the bishops and priests to affirm Vatican Council II interpreted rationally, in harmony with the Syllabus of Errors of Pope Pius IX, irrespective if Holy Mass is in Latin or French.Vatican Council II can have a hermeneutic of continuity with the Athanasius Creed which says all need Catholic faith for salvation.
The French bishops are not going to say that they will continue to interpret Vatican Council II and Magisterial documents without the fake premise, even if it is unethical.
The bishops would be asked to affirm the strict interpretation of extra ecclesiam nulla salus(EENS) and they would not be able to say that the baptism of desire and invincible ignorance are exceptions.Since the laity would be informed. Why should the laity accept 'zero cases' as being exceptions for EENS ? The bishops would not be able to say that Vatican Council II contradicts EENS.The laity would have the LA interpretation before them.
The bishops could be asked to affirm the old ecumenism of return since the hypothetical cases mentioned in Unitatis Redintigratio, Decree on Ecumenism, Vatican Council II, could not be practical exceptions to EENS or the old ecumenism of return in the Catholic Church.
So it would finally be obvious to journalists that the issue is not just the Latin Mass or concelebration.
The bishops can no more say that they are following Pope Francis. If Pope Francis is using the common false premise then this is not the work of the Holy Spirit. When Pope Francis and Pope Benedict interpret Vatican Council II with the rational premise there is a continuity with Tradition. This would be Magisterial.
So how can the bishops ask the FSSP priests to concelebrate Holy Mass in French, when the bishops and diocesan priests will not interpret the Creeds and Catechisms rationally? This is a scandal.
With the LA interpretation, Vatican Council II is no more a weak point of the Latin laity.Instead it is they who will demand that the bishops affirm Vatican Council II, quick.
The Una Voce International would not have to be defensive in their next advertisement. It is they who could make demands. The tables have changed.
About a year has passed and The National Catholic Reporter, Crux, Commonweal, Catholic Herald U,K, National Catholic Register, EWTN and the Tablet U.K, are not commenting on this issue.They can see the writing on the wall.
They know that Vatican Council II is no more a rupture with Tradition. But they pretend that the LA interpretation does not exist. So their reports over the week mention tension in France over the Traditional Latin Mass and not their tension with the LA interpretation of Vatican Council II.
What difference does the new expected announcement on Summorum Pontificum make when the Mass in French would have the old ecclesiology? There is no other rational choice before the bishops, priests and people. -Lionel Andrades
The LA interpretation of Vatican Council II is not new in the Church since the original traditional premise of the Catholic Church is being used.

Therefore, all must be converted to Him, made known by the Church's preaching, and all must be incorporated into Him by baptism and into the Church which is His body. For Christ Himself "by stressing in express language the necessity of faith and baptism (cf. Mark 16:16; John 3:5), at the same time confirmed the necessity of the Church, into which men enter by baptism, as by a door. Therefore those men cannot be saved, who though aware that God, through Jesus Christ founded the Church as something necessary, still do not wish to enter into it, or to persevere in it." Therefore though God in ways known to Himself can lead those inculpably ignorant of the Gospel to find that faith without which it is impossible to please Him...- Ad Gentes 7. Vatican Council II
