(With Fr. Girouard's Permission, his Feb. 04 email to his groups):

Dear friends,

The Superior General of the Neo-SSPX, Fr. Pagliarani, will meet Cardinal Fernandès, Head of the DDF (Dicastery of the Doctrine of the Faith) next week. Here is a quote from LifeSiteNews:
...........................................................
While the Society has not yet confirmed publicly if the discussions will continue to take place, LifeSiteNews can confirm that a one-on-one meeting between SSPX Superior General Davide Pagliarani and Cardinal Tucho Fernandez, the Secretary of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, has been scheduled in Rome for Thursday, February 12.

..........................................................

As I told you two days ago, it will be interesting to see the developments about the Episcopal Consecrations by the Neo-SSPX.

The February 2^nd announcement by Fr. Pagliarani comes in the wake of two official New-SSPX criticisms of the Pope (one about the Filioque, the other about Mary Co-Redemptrix).

Such official rebukes have been a breath of fresh air coming from Menzingen, after so many years of following the 2012 re-Branding of the SSPX.

The announcement on the decision to consecrate bishops without New-Rome's approval seems therefore as a third good sign that, maybe, Menzingen is going back on track!

While these three public declarations are good in themselves, and a cause for rejoicing, we must not get too excited yet.

Indeed, we must remember two most important things:

1-New-Rome has not changed, if not for the worst, since 2012.
2-New-SSPX has not changed either since 2012. All we have so far are 3 strongly worded declarations. NO ACTION.

Always keep in mind the following about the New-SSPX:

1-The same bad actors who had been working for a recognition by un-converted New-Rome in 2012, are still at the helm of the New-SSPX in various positions: +Fellay, Fathers Pfluger, Neli, Schmidberger (who recently accepted an award from New-Rome), Lorans (who remains head of the New-Society Propaganda newsletter), and Fr. Pagliarani who, at the 2012 General Chapter, convinced the other members not to condemn +Fellay for his April Fifteen Declaration, has been General Superior since 2018.

2-The catastrophic decisions of the July 2012 General Chapter remain in force. The main one being the rejection of the 2006 General Chapter principle of "No Practical Agreement with Rome, without a Doctrinal Agreement".

3-The priests who have vocally and publicly condemned the attempts of the New-SSPX management to integrate New-Rome, remain expelled and forced to be "on their own" and feed for themselves. Bishop Williamson's name and memory remain sullied by Menzingen's propaganda.

4-The "gifts" from New-Rome, gratefully accepted by Menzingen since 2012, remain parts of the daily life of the New-SSPX: (Confessions, Mariages, SSPX Tribunals, Priestly Ordinations w/o Suspensio A Divinis).

5-There has been, so far, no expression of regret for the shenanigans worked out by Menzingen since its approval of the GREC in 1997. No regret shown for the turmoil these have caused to the SSPX members and faithful. No regret either for the scandal given those souls who, outside Abp Lefebvre's Movement, were looking up to the SSPX to know what Tradition was saying about New-Rome and the World.

6-The 2012 re-branding of the New-SSPX has not been repelled, nor was it ever acknowledged as a waste of money and a crucial mistake. It has, in fact, modelled the new generations of Priests, Brothers, Sisters, Oblates, and Seminarians. It will take a lot of explaining and practical measures to bring back New-SSPX members to the Crusader Mentality of Abp Lefebvre!

Let us keep all that in mind, my friends!

Let us remember that Actions speak louder than Words.

It will take a lot of ACTIONS from the New-SSPX to convince us it has returned to the good old days of before the creation of the GREC in 1997!

Yes, a lot will have to happen before we can safely say there is no more need for a SSPX Resistance!

Let us therefore watch and pray!

With love and blessings,

Fr. Girouard
