Menzingen is trying to suggest Fr Morgan is spreading rumours. The 'doctrinal preamble' was rejected in Albano by the District Superiors and the Bishops. The German District posted this.

Gerüchte im Internet
Zur Zeit kursieren Gerüchte im Internet, die Priesterbruderschaft St. Pius X. würde "eine Einigung mit Rom ablehnen".

Der Grund ist ein Rundschreiben des englischen Distriktoberen, Pater Paul Morgan, das gestern für kurze Zeit im Internet zu lesen war, in dem er ähnliches behauptet haben soll.

Weil diese Meldung mittlerweile von Zeitungen und Agenturen aufgegriffen wurde, hat das Generalhaus der Priesterbruderschaft St. Pius X. in Menzingen (Schweiz) reagiert und folgende kurze Notiz veröffentlicht:

Seit dem Treffen der Oberen der Seminare und Distrikte der Priesterbruderschaft St. Pius X. in Albano (Italien) am 7. Oktober 2011, erscheinen verschiedene Kommentare in der Presse bezüglich der Antwort, welche Bischof Bernard Fellay auf die römischen Vorschläge vom 14. September 2011 geben wird.

Es wird daran erinnert, dass allein das Generalhaus der Priesterbruderschaft St. Pius X. berechtigt ist, ein offizielles Kommuniqué oder einen autorisierten Kommentar bezüglich dieser Thematik zu veröffentlichen.

Bis weitere Informationen erscheinen, gilt die Pressemitteilung vom 7. Oktober 2011.

Menzingen, 2. Nov. 2011

Currently, there are rumors on the Internet, the Fraternity of St. Pius X. would "reject an agreement with Rome."

The reason is a circular letter of the English District Superior, Father Paul Morgan, which was read yesterday for a short time on the Internet, in which he allegedly claimed similar.

Because this message has now been picked up by newspapers and agencies, the General House of the Society of St. Pius X. in Menzingen (Switzerland) responded and released the following brief note:

Since the meeting of the upper districts of the seminars and the Fraternity of St. Pius X. Albano (Italy) on 7 Published in October 2011, various comments in the press about the response that Bishop Bernard Fellay of the Roman proposals of 14 Be September 2011.

Leaders of the Society of St Pius X (SSPX) have agreed that the doctrinal preamble presented to them by the Vatican is “completely unacceptable”, according to the society’s district superior in Britain.

In a newsletter posted online and subsequently removed, Fr Paul Morgan said SSPX superiors had rejected the doctrinal principles set out by the Vatican as the basis for further discussion.

The superiors met last month in Albano, Rome, but said they would only issue a response to the Vatican after further study.

In an official statement today the SSPX said that “only the General House of the Society of St Pius X is entitled to make public an official communiqué or authorised commentary on this matter”.

In his letter Fr Morgan said it was “disappointing” that the doctrinal statement, handed to SSPX leaders by Cardinal William Levada, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, “failed to acknowledge the break between traditional and conciliar teachings”.

“Instead,” he wrote, “it insisted upon the ‘hermeneutic [interpretation] of continuity’, stating that the new teachings included and improved upon the old!

“So it was perhaps not surprising to learn that the proposed doctrinal basis for any canonical agreement in fact contained all those elements which the Society has consistently rejected, including acceptance of the New Mass and of Vatican II as expressed in the New Catechism. Indeed, the docuмent itself conveys the impression that there is no crisis in the Church…

“Hence the stated consensus of those in attendance was that the doctrinal preamble was clearly unacceptable and that the time has certainly not come to pursue any practical agreement as long as the doctrinal issues remain outstanding.”

The Vatican statement listed several principles that the SSPX had to agree with in order to move towards full conciliation with Rome.

It came after two years of doctrinal talks between leaders of the SSPX and officials at the Vatican.

The truth, not secrecy, will set you free.

Fr. Morgan is a district superior, who was present at the meeting in Albano. The link goes to an actual SSPX site. Doesn't sound like rumors to me.

P.S. thanks for the info post, John Grace.

Just when I am about to rejoice that the SSPX is holding the line after all, here we are plunged back into the realm of doubt by this strange suppression of Fr. Morgan's revelations.

What is Menzingen up to?

Enough of this stuff!
