As long as the FSSP didn't step out of bounds and didn't give the impression the traditionalists had any 'numbers' advantage they were allowed to co-exist in the Conciliar dioceses. 

Aside from the doctrinal contradiction pointed out by Archbishop Lefebvre in the OP above (which in and of itself is quite serious), the FSSP placed themselves even more in an inextricable position in the year 2000. They have to obey the Conciliar authorities, regardless of whatever 'privileges' seemingly granted them by Summorum Pontificum (which ironically also gives primary place to the New Mass). Again and again, we see the 'prophecies' of Archbishop Lefebvre coming true, both with respect to the ensnared FSSP priests and for the Conciliar SSPX who now too have to permissions from the Conciliar authorities for marriages, etc. 

Quote:“What could be clearer? We must henceforth obey and be faithful to the Conciliar Church, no longer to the Catholic Church. Right there is our whole problem: we are suspended a divinis by the Conciliar Church, the Conciliar Church, to which we have no wish to belong! That Conciliar Church is a schismatic church because it breaks with the Catholic Church that has always been. It has its new dogmas, its new priesthood, its new institutions, its new worship… The Church that affirms such errors is at once schismatic and heretical. This Conciliar Church is, therefore, not Catholic. To whatever extent Pope, Bishops, priests, or the faithful adhere to this new church, they separate themselves from the Catholic Church.” (Archbishop Lefebvre, Reflections on his suspension a divinis, July 29, 1976)

The FSSP have been in a trap since their inception, only the trap has been rarely sprung. As long as their Conciliar 'masters' are obliging, the FSSP didn't feel the noose around their neck. But as we see here, what happens when the noose is tightened and the priests of the FSSP don't want to say the New Mass? And to whom can the FSSP appeal? To the Conciliar hierarchy? To Pope Francis, who is rumored to be attempting to rewrite Summorum Pontificum in an effort to squash the 'approved' traditional communities, as he already had done with the Franciscans of the Immaculate and the Little Sisters of Mary?

Another example of Archbishop Lefebvre's foresight and comprehension of the spiritual battle maneuvers from Conciliar Rome: 
Quote:I said to him [Cardinal Ratzinger] ‘Even if you grant us a bishop, even if you grant us some autonomy from the bishops, even if you grant us the 1962 Liturgy, even if you allow us to continue running our seminaries in the manner we are doing it right now—we cannot work together! It is impossible! Impossible! Because we are working in diametrically opposing directions. You are working to de-Christianize society, the human person and the Church, and we are working to Christianize them. We cannot get along together!’ (Marcel Lefebvre, Bp. Tissier de Mallerais, p. 548)
"So let us be confident, let us not be unprepared, let us not be outflanked, let us be wise, vigilant, fighting against those who are trying to tear the faith out of our souls and morality out of our hearts, so that we may remain Catholics, remain united to the Blessed Virgin Mary, remain united to the Roman Catholic Church, remain faithful children of the Church."- Abp. Lefebvre
