The French Catholic daily La Croix has accused the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) of having mishandled a sɛҳuąƖ abuse case for which a SSPX priest received a 16 years prison sentence on May 5th in France.

The article quotes the Vatican Commission Ecclesia Dei, which is in charge of the Old-Rite Catholics, stating that, in case of a reconciliation, the SSPX superior general Bishop Bernard Fellay would "obviously" be liable to those Vatican regulations which provide for the "revocation" of an ordinary if he has "failed to act diligently" in cases of sɛҳuąƖ abuse.

In the past the Vatican has come under the suspicion of having used those regulations as a pretext in order to get rid of bishops of the Catholic wing, like Archbishop John C. Nienstedt of St. Paul, Minnesota, or Bishop Robert Finn of Kansas City, Missouri.

Poor Bernard, every time he tries to get together with the Vatican II church, God puts obstacles in his way.

 Guido Pozzo points out that the key to reconciliation lies in understanding the Second Vatican Council.  The misunderstandings promoted by some theologians, intellectuals and the media encouraged such ruptures as the Lefebvrians.
 Benedict XVI in his Christmas message to the Curia in 2005 recalled that these erroneous readings fostered the perception that this council meant a break with the above instead of a continuity.

 "This contradiction, this 'overlap', has generated that climate of conflict and confusion, of uncertainty about the Council, which is at the base of the criticisms raised by the Fraternity of St. Pius X."

 First John Paul II and then Benedict XVI worked intensely for reconciliation with the Lefebvrians.  Francisco has taken over the witness left him and his style has not left indifferent to the Fraternity.

 It seems that the attitude of the Argentine Pope has been decisive because they have ceased to feel examined or judged by the Church and have perceived a real interest in understanding them.
