The SSPX leadership has to placate two camps who would otherwise tear each other's guts out.

Does one of those camps house the sedevacanists?

Statements like this are to reassure the hardliners that they won't be sold out for the sake of restoring juridical communion with Rome.

So, in essence, you are confirming that the SSPX cannot be reconciled with Rome unless the Novus Ordo mass is overturned and the Tridentine Rite restored in all churches around the globe? Are these the conditions set by the SSPX for full communion with Rome?

From what people I know in SSPX tell me, there are some, but most have already left for sedevacantist groups.

The real division is between those who will tolerate the New Order as long as they have a personal prelature or apostolic administration, and those who want an overthrow of the New Order sooner or later.

So, in essence, you are confirming that the SSPX cannot be reconciled with Rome unless the Novus Ordo mass is overturned and the Tridentine Rite restored in all churches around the globe? Are these the conditions set by the SSPX for full communion with Rome?

No one believes this to be a real possibility for the near future. The leadership might be spinning the idea of the overturn of the New Order as a distant inevitability to the hardliners to keep them from grumbling too loudly.

Bear in mind also that the article you posted is from 1993. Nobody was interested in talking to anybody at that point. The bitterness was just too strong.

The SSPX does not knowingly minister to or support sedevacanists.
