Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith

COMMUNIQUÉ regarding the meeting between the Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith and the Superior General of the SSPX
On February 12, 2026, a cordial and sincere meeting took place at the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith between the Prefect, H.E. Cardinal Víctor Manuel FERNÁNDEZ, and the Superior General of the SSPX, Rev. Fr. Davide PAGLIARANI, with the approval of the Holy Father Leo XIV.

After clarifying certain points presented by the SSPX in various letters—sent particularly between 2017 and 2019, among others, where the question of the divine will regarding the plurality of religions was debated—the Prefect proposed a specifically theological path of dialogue. This path follows a very precise methodology regarding topics that have not yet received sufficient clarification, such as:

The difference between the act of faith and the "religious submission of intellect and will."
The different degrees of adherence required by the various texts of the Second Vatican Ecuмenical Council and their interpretation.

At the same time, he proposed addressing a series of topics listed by the SSPX in a letter dated January 17, 2019. This path aims to identify, within the debated topics, the minimum requirements necessary for full communion with the Catholic Church and, consequently, to outline a canonical status for the Society, alongside other aspects that require further study.

Key Points on Communion and Authority

The Holy See reiterated that the ordination of bishops without a mandate from the Holy Father—who holds supreme ordinary power that is full, universal, immediate, and direct (cf. CIC, can. 331; Dogm. Const. Pastor aeternus, ch. I and III)—would imply a decisive rupture of ecclesial communion (schism). This would carry grave consequences for the Society as a whole (JOHN PAUL II, Ap. Letter Ecclesia Dei, July 2, 1988, nos. 3 and 5c; PONTIFICAL COUNCIL FOR LEGISLATIVE TEXTS, Explanatory Note, August 24, 1996, no. 1).
Therefore, the possibility of developing this dialogue presupposes that the Society suspends the decision regarding the announced episcopal ordinations.

Next Steps

The Superior General of the SSPX will present the proposal to his Council and provide his response to the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. In the event of a positive response, the steps, stages, and procedures to follow will be established by mutual agreement.
The entire Church is asked to accompany this journey, especially in the coming times, with prayer to the Holy Spirit. He is the principal architect of the true ecclesial communion willed by Christ.

Thank you Trad Sermons for posting here in a new Thread...this was posted before but somewhat buried on another Thread. It is also in French on the Library Thread (Le 12 Février, 2026...).

FSSPX Statement on the Meeting in Rome with Cardinal Fernández

Saved in: Blog
by Aldo Maria Valli

On 12 February 2026, Reverend Father Davide Pagliarani, Superior General of the Priestly Society of Saint Pius X, was received at the Palace of the Holy Office by His Eminence Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. This meeting had been proposed by the Cardinal following the public announcement,(...) 2nd of February, of future episcopal consecrations within the Society of Saint Pius X.

The conversation, held one-on-one at the Cardinal’s request, lasted an hour and a half and took place in an atmosphere that was both cordial and frank. It enabled Father Pagliarani to listen attentively to the Prefect and to clarify the scope of the 2nd of February announcement, as well as the meaning of the steps taken with the Holy See over the recent months.

The Superior General was thus able to present, in person, the current situation of the Society of Saint Pius X and its duty, in the spiritual necessity in which souls find themselves, to ensure the continuation of the ministry of its bishops.
Above all, he emphasized the spirit of charity in which the Society envisages these consecrations, as well as its sincere desire to serve both the souls and the Roman Church.

Finally, he renewed his desire that, given the wholly particular circuмstances in which Holy Church finds itself, the Society may continue to operate in its current situation – exceptional and temporary – for the good of the souls who turn to it.

For his part, Cardinal Fernández offered a different approach to the question. Relayed in an official communiqué swiftly published by the Holy See, his proposal consists of “a specifically theological path of dialogue, according to a very precise methodology, […] in order to highlight the minimal necessary for full communion with the Catholic Church”, which would make it possible “to define a canonical status for the Society”.

These exchanges would seek, in particular, to reach agreement on “the different degrees of adherence required by the various texts of the Second Vatican Ecuмenical Council and their interpretation”. The Cardinal stated orally that, while it would be possible to engage in dialogue about the Council, its texts could not be corrected.

As a prior condition for this dialogue, it is required to suspend the decision regarding the announced episcopal consecrations.

The Prefect of the Dicastery specifically asked the Superior General to present this proposal to the members of his Council and to take the necessary time to evaluate it.

Father Pagliarani will therefore respond within the next few days. He will write directly to Cardinal Fernández and will also make his response known to the faithful.

The Superior General renewed to Cardinal Fernández his wish to be able to meet personally with the Holy Father. He remains very peaceful and is grateful for all the prayers offered. He continues to commend this situation to the prayers of the faithful.

Menzingen, 12 February 2026

**********************

Bad optics here: Why did the Superior General of the neoSspx even accept this proposal from Card. Fernandez, and furthermore to discuss this with his Council? Menzingen refers to the ROMAN CHURCH, how about the Holy Roman CATHOLIC Church? !

Has Modernist N.O. church converted, even 5%? NeoSspx has no compass, direction. Please do the real CATHOLIC Church a favor and consecrate July 1, 2026 AD. High 5 .

"Holy Spirit. He is the principal architect of the true ecclesial communion willed by Christ".

The Holy Spirit does not have communion with apostates and heretics.

Some thoughts about the SSPX planned Consecrations July 1, 2026. First time I see this web site.

Short Excerpt from the ending of the article:

***********************
https://nuntiatoria.org/2026/02/12/toward-minimal-requirements-the-ddf-sspx-communique-and-the-ecclesiological-moment-of-12-february-2026/

"...Opportunities

Doctrinal Clarification at the Highest Level
If Rome formally distinguishes levels of assent within Vatican II, this would vindicate the long-standing SSPX claim that not all conciliar texts are of equal doctrinal weight.
Canonical Regularisation Without Doctrinal Capitulation
A canonical structure—personal prelature or analogous form—could secure juridical stability while preserving liturgical and theological integrity.
Reframing the Debate
The dialogue shifts from accusations of disobedience to structured theological argument, the proper terrain of Catholic tradition.

Risks

Ambiguity Institutionalised
If “minimal requirements” are formulated in a way that embeds unresolved ambiguities (particularly regarding religious liberty or interreligious theology), the SSPX risks appearing to endorse doctrinal formulations it has publicly criticised.
Gradual Assimilation
A canonical solution without substantial doctrinal clarity could expose the Fraternity to progressive administrative pressures over time.
Internal Fracture
Perceived compromise could provoke internal division, as occurred after the 2012 Doctrinal Preamble discussions.
Episcopal Consecration as Point of No Return
Conversely, proceeding with episcopal consecrations would almost certainly foreclose this opening and solidify juridical rupture.
..."

V. A Theological Position Paper
From a traditional Catholic perspective rooted in the perennial magisterium, several principles must govern discernment.

First, communion with the Roman Pontiff is not optional. The papal office is divinely instituted and essential to the visible unity of the Church.⁷

Second, theological precision is not rebellion. The Church has always permitted disputation within defined doctrinal limits. St Thomas Aquinas himself distinguishes between dogma and theological conclusions.ⁱ²

Third, the nature of an ecuмenical council must be assessed according to its own stated intention. Vatican II declared itself pastoral and avoided defining new dogmas.⁶ Therefore, it is legitimate to examine the authority of particular texts according to their doctrinal weight.

Fourth, unity cannot be purchased at the price of truth. But neither can truth be defended by severing communion unnecessarily.

Accordingly, a prudent course for the SSPX would be: ..."

The Trad Latin Liturgy movement is still alive and growing... These are the END TIMES, as Sister Lucia de Jesus stated; things are falling in place for the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart, ( The name of the Church where Card. Eijk will celebrate the OLD Latin Mass is the Immaculate Conception )... Signs of hope, no?
