Please help me understand why the vatican wants to do away with the TLM in diocesan parishes and at the same time promote fssp tlm v sspx tlm but on the other hand promote the idea that tradition is passe and move speedily towards ecumenist ideology?
Generally speaking, it is quite complicated having two distinct versions of the one Roman rite being used in the same parish.
The Vatican wants the same liturgical calendar and the same lectionary being used in every diocesan parish. Francis spoke about this. Rad Trad hardliners are playing hardball over the calendar and lectionary. There has to be more flexibility.
We may still see the day when the two versions of the one Rite can mutually enrich each other under the same roof.

I think “ecumenist ideology” is not the best way to look at trying to build friendly relations with our separated brethren.
We need to be able to cooperate with other Christian denominations where there is common ground, such as life issues.

Exactly. Perhaps playing both sides against the middle for some unspoken objective.
The FSSP leadership’s acceptance of made up categories such as that of full or partial communion tells us anything we need to know about them.
The FSSP are good and holy men and God bless them all for their steadfastness in our Lord. There is no need to disparage or cast judgment.
