the above-mentioned "Society" is not an institution (neither parish, nor association) of the Catholic Church.
Benedict XVI's Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church of March 10, 2009:
"the Society has no canonical status in the Church, and its ministers – even though they have been freed of the ecclesiastical penalty – do not legitimately exercise any ministry in the Church." (in AAS CI [2009], n. 4, p. 272).
The same Benedict XVI, in the following Letter m. p. Ecclesiae Unitatem, of July 2, 2009, added: "the remission of the excommunication was a measure taken in the context of ecclesiastical discipline to free the individuals from the burden of conscience constituted by the most serious of ecclesiastical penalties. However, the doctrinal questions obviously remain and until they are clarified the Society has no canonical status in the Church and its ministers cannot legitimately exercise any ministry." (in AAS CI [2009], p. 710-711).
The Catholic faithful cannot participate at Mass, neither request and/or receive Sacraments from or in the Society. Acting otherwise would mean to break communion with the Catholic Church.
any Catholic faithful who requests and receives Sacraments in the Society of Saint Pius X, will place himself de facto in the condition of no longer being in communion with the Catholic Church.
It is sincerely saddening [for whom?] that such options [measures] ... be in constrast [contrast?] with the pastoral orientations of the Italian Church
formative paths for the growth and maturation of the life of faith are favored in the Diocese of Albano [however, nevertheless, no evidence of same is forthcoming]
*HEY! It has a protocol number! It must be the official teaching of the Church! Notify Fr. Dominic immediately! Oh, right, this is after Vat.II so it's not the Church anymore. I almost forgot.
