Breaking news from the SSPX website



Breaking news: Pope Francis received Bishop Fellay on Friday, April 1, 2016.

Pope Francis received Bishop Bernard Fellay, Superior General of the Society of St. Pius X, accompanied by the Society’s Second General Assistant, Fr. Alain-Marc Nely, at Domus Sanctae Marthae, at 5 p.m. on Friday, April 1, 2016.

Bishop Fellay did not have an opportunity to meet Pope Francis since the Holy Father’s election in March 2013, other than exchanging very brief salutations at Domus Sanctae Marthae, on December 13, 2013 (see DICI no. 296 of 5-16-2014). However, some priests of the Society were previously received by the Supreme Pontiff, regarding certain administrative difficulties in the Society’s District of Argentina (see DICI no 314 of 4-24-2015).

Pope Francis had wanted a private and informal meeting, without the formality of an official audience. It lasted 40 minutes and took place under a cordial atmosphere. After the meeting, it was decided that the current exchanges would continue. The canonical status of the Society was not directly addressed, Pope Francis and Bishop Fellay having determined that these exchanges ought to continue without haste.

The next morning, Saturday, April 2nd, Bishop Fellay met with Archbishop Guido Pozzo, secretary of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei, in keeping with the normal relations of the Society with this commission following the 2009-2011 doctrinal discussions and the visits of several prelates in 2015-2016. (See DICI no. 307 of 12-19-2014 and no. 311 of 2-27-2016)

There are rumors that Francis will resign in May, during his trip to Argentina.  Perhaps he wants a reconciliation to be part of his legacy.

Really!?   :confused1:

Why on earth would he retire?  He looks like he loves the job.

April 1 Pope meets with Fellay, Breaking news from SSPX

Pro 'gαy' Female Finnish Lutheran bishop received by Francis

Others can add to the list and make a never ending list of Communist thugs, heretics, Atheists, non-Catholics, abortionists, ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs, transvestites......... that Pope Francis has received and even kisses up to.

Prestige?

“[The Pope] uses the expression ‘walk forward’ with people on the periphery, hoping to manage to improve things,” said Fellay. “Therefore it is not a fixed decision to succeed immediately: a development, a walk, goes wherever it goes.”

“It is clear that Pope Francis wants to let us live and survive,” the bishop continued. “He even said to anyone who cares to listen that he would never do the Society any harm.”

Not a single week has gone by during the last three years of Francis' pontificate in which he has not said or done something to injure the Faith.  Over the last two years he has opened to debate settled questions on Catholic doctrine and morality concerning the sacrament of marriage and the ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ heresy.  While he is clearly an enemy of the Faith, +Fellay said quoting Francis: “He even said to anyone who cares to listen that he would never do the Society any harm.”  This unfortunately is probably true.  This is an open declaration that the SSPX and the Catholic Faith are traveling down different roads. +Fellay is the only one who "cares to listen".

The local York paper sent a reporter for an article covering our little chapel for Palm Sunday.  The local bishop sent an email to the paper to add an addendum to their on line article saying that we have "no communion with the (sic) universal Catholic Church."  and that we "have no right to use the name Roman Catholics"

This is how every faithful Catholic is treated by the Novus Ordo Church.  Fellay has betrayed the Faith and this is really just an open declaration of that fact.

Yes, all links don't show up right now. Until I can find a PHP expert to help me with a specific problem with the website...

I'm going to work on it some more tonight. I'll get it figured out eventually, one way or the other.

And so say all o us!!!
