I'm not sure what to think. On the surface it appears to be "one step back" but that is usually followed by "two steps forward". We'll have to watch and see what actions proceed from this. After all of the efforts on the part of the Superiors to sell the "must return to Rome" to the laity this seems to contradict their sales pitch.

Could it be possible that the recent departure of Fr. Pierre Roy, who was born and raised under the care of the "New" SSPX, been taken into consideration in reeling in personal ambitions?

In the great and painful confusion that currently reigns in the Church, the proclamation of Catholic doctrine requires the denunciation of errors that have made their way into it and are unfortunately encouraged by a large number of pastors, including the Pope himself.

... bi-millennial Tradition which shows the only route to follow in this age of darkness in which the cult of man replaces the worship of God, in society as in the Church.

The Society of Saint Pius X prays and does penance for the Pope, that he might have the strength to proclaim Catholic faith and morals in their entirety.

Let's see if these words hold after the conciliar authorities and publications respond to it.

I'm surprised that some think this communique states that all negotiations are off until the Pope converts. I think it says the opposite. But I could be wrong.

It is concerning when a statement can give rise to two completely different, arguably plausible interpretations, but I take as 'no deal for now.'

I just saw on Facebook someone call this Communique a "death blow to the Resistors."

Thoughts?

It won't affect the die-hard resistors but the fence sitters will use it to justify staying with the SSPX. The former have learned not to trust whatever comes from the top while the latter don't want to know.
