If the SSPX were so desperate and unsure of itself, then why was it Rome who initiated the overtures for reconciliation?

Rome was charitable, UR. But, make no mistake. There's a stake in the ground, and the next move is up to Fellay.

Oh, and the SSPX is not going to suppress the Novus Ordo.

"Oh, and the SSPX is not going to suppress the Novus Ordo"

No need to. It will die the way the mainline Protestant churches are dying--the way the Catholic Church is already dying in Europe. I doubt it will last another generation. Same with Novus Ordo architecture. Unlike traditional churches, these cardboard boxes are not built to last.
