Yes, I too have been tempted to criticize the Vatican for freaking out over the SSPX and their “minor” heterodoxy but major canonical rebellion while bending over backwards to accommodate the German Synodal Way with a firm hand but no threats and also coddling the ideologues in the Church concerning the LGBTQ+++ which is far more than promoting disordered sexual relationships but also challenging the sexual anthropology of the Sacraments in terms of man and woman, bride and bridegroom—the Sacraments of Holy Orders and Holy Matrimony.
However, there is a BIG difference.
The SSPX since Pope Benedict XVI lifted the excommunication of the living bishops of his time has been been coddled by the Vatican too. Even Pope Francis coddled them by expanding their canonical ability to hear confessions of any Catholics and to make sure their celebrations of marriage are not only licit but valid.
The big schismatic act is ordaining bishops for their cult.
So far, no heterodox bishop of the German Synodal Way has ordained bishops without papal approval, none!
So far, no other heterodox religious orders, like the Jesuits, have ordained bishops without papal approval.
As far as I can tell, no bishop in the world has ordained women as deacons and priests and hasn’t be excommunicated.
Even Pope Francis excommunicated priests who participated in invalid ordinations of women and maybe even a bishop or two, but I am not sure about that.

The SSPX has long advanced the notion that God has called the Society to lecture/correct our Vatican II Era holy Popes who have fallen into supposed grave error — error connected especially to Vatican II, ecumenism, as well as liturgical reform.
Father Pagliarani, SSPX Superior General, has insisted that Pope Leo XIV will continue down the supposed path of his (Pope Leo XIV's) Vatican II Era predecessors.
That is, Pope Leo XIV will continue to wreck the Church supposedly via his unrelenting attachment to modernism that has revolved around Vatican II, the Holy Mass of Pope Saint Paul VI, ecumenism, interreligious dialogue...
But it is clear that Pope Leo XIV has determined that the time has arrived for the SSPX to end its nonsense in question. His Holiness has made it clear that he is not about to bow to the SSPX. But he has not done so arrogantly.
His Holiness has attempted mercifully to steer the SSPX from schism.

I prefer the FSSPX way of doing it; honestly, out in the open and clearly seperate from the Church—that’s the best way to do it. We can compare them to the Schismatic/heretical Synodal Way and even the Synodal process of Pope Francis—it is dishonest as you have the heterodox left, the greatest threat to orthodoxy and Church unity, working from within to deconstruct the Church and change her faith and morals. The Germans in particular are a Goliath in terms of their size compared to the little gnat of the FSSPX. Their schismatic way includes huge swaths of cardinals, other bishops, other clergy, religious and laity. They are working within to do their dastardly deeds. And they do it incrementally as we have seen in study group’s 9 heterodoxy that has an imprimatur from the Vatican—very shocking and concerning to say the least, but the Holy Spirit will not be mocked in the long-run.
I still.say that the SSPX could dodge all this drama by merely doing their episcopal consecrations in China, where the Vatican would then sign off on them without a moment's hesitation, no matter what they believed or taught.
Spot on! The hypocrisy smells to high heavens
Father, I do not believe that the FSSPX has acted honestly as they have claimed justification based upon the following:
Father Davide Pagliarani, SSPX Superior General:
"...the fundamental reasons that justified the consecrations of 1988 still exist and, in many respects, impel us with renewed urgency."
"The Second Vatican Council remains more than ever the compass guiding today’s churchmen...Furthermore, the major orientations already taking shape in this new pontificate — particularly through the most recent consistory — only confirm this.
"An explicit determination to preserve the line of Pope Francis as an irreversible trajectory for the entire Church is discernible."
Yes, Pope Leo XIV has demonstrated tremendous continuity with Pope Francis. But does that equate to the destruction of the Church?
In addition, Father Pagliarani issued the following claim: "In an ordinary parish, the faithful no longer find the means necessary to ensure their eternal salvation."
Is that true/honest?
Pax.
