Satan's goal is to get Catholics to "jump Ship." He does not care if you jump to the "Right" or "Left." Many on the Left have already jumped. Some on the Right have already jumped (SSPX, SSPV, CMRI etc etc). Now, sadly, good willed traditionally oriented priests are disposing good willed souls(currently in the Bark) to Jump Ship on the Right flank, if they are denied the 1962 Missal. Pope Benedict's prophecy will be fulfilled that the Bark of Peter will become smaller and smaller, and this from Left and Right overboards.

The left never jumped ship, they just took over the majority of administration positions at the Parish levels, Diocean bureaucracies, religious orders, seminaries, schools and colleges. Even Archbishop Marcel Lafebvre initially when he started the SSPX offered the Novus Ordo in Latin as well as the Roman Rite and again initially wasn't against it if it was said in Latin, ad orientum with the Roman Rite prayers of concecration and traditional elements were used i.e. recieving Holy Communion kneeling on the tongue. It was only later after reports of continuous abuses that were normalized that he turned against it. If the Novus Order would have been maintained as he had celebrated it, as well as orthodoxy in the Church's institutions, there may have not been the reaction from the conservatives and orthodox-Catholics that we see today.

What he said about “preserving nothing of the old” referred to the liturgical reform as a whole. It is absolutely true that every official liturgical Rite was altered. Nothing was unscathed, including the Missal, Pontifical, Breviary, and the entire Roman Ritual, including the Rite of Exorcism. Of course there were parts of each that were preserved, but not a single Rite was preserved exactly as it was before. If the bishop is charging that he said that no part of the Mass survived the reform, he is either terribly misinformed, or terribly dishonest.

This sounds like a backdown/capitulation by the Bishop in favor of the Roman Mass and these priests. The backlash against his original vindictive and tyranical actions similar to Francis probably caused him to offer a new Church to these two good priests who spoke the Truth about the Novus Ordo.
The Fathers of Mercy are the usuall neo-Con group, professing fedility to the Church. They are a "yes Holy Father, whatever you say, Holy Father" group. They have about 26 members total. For some reason, the Order never took off in France whenre it was founded, and also has not done well in the USA. THey had about 100 members in the USA right before VAtican II, then collapsed down to about 6-7 members by the 1970's. THen, they tried to present themselves as more "conservative", and slowly grew to about 25-30 members, where they have hovered around till today.
