H. E. Carlo María Viganó:
The decision of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X to consecrate new Bishops on July 1 demonstrates the impossibility of any dialogue with the Holy See.
The Vatican’s refusal to comply with the Society’s requests confirms a double standard:
On the one hand, synodality opens the way to schism without this constituting a problem either for those who impose it from above or for those who suffer it from below.
On the other hand, a Priestly Fraternity of assured orthodoxy is denied permission to consecrate new Bishops precisely because it has not compromised with the conciliar revolution, the highest expression of which is synodality.
When the Hierarchy becomes complicit in the demolition of the Church, the only solution is to appeal to the state of necessity and guarantee that Apostolic Succession continues for the good of souls. Nothing has changed since 1988, and we can even say that the situation has dramatically worsened.
I therefore express my full support for the decision taken by the Society of Saint Pius X.
