No, I don't really understand all the ins and outs of the situation. Archbishop Lefevre defied Rome and ordained priests and bishops - and Bishop Williamson was one of those bishops. If he now goes off and ordains priests and bishops, will there be another breakaway group? And what happens next?
I do, however, hope this paves the way for reconciliation of the SSPX...
I also wish that someone would write an idiot's guide explaining the whole thing...

Williamson was pulling away from Rome, and had already broken away even from the SSPX in all but formalities.
There have been many anti-Popes before, perhaps we might have a new one.

It is from 2008 and so misses the last few years "will they, won't they" events but is a very good and balanced read for the historical background.
