    I just spoke to a priest who was at that meeting and this information is seriously flawed. Obviously, if the agreement involves a personal prelature then the pope will choose the superior general and any future superiors general. That, then , means that sooner or later when the four bishops die (or leave) that they will be replaced by the pope's men. There would obviously be a real danger that future popes could impose future modernists as superior. There is also a risk that sooner or later with Rome in charge of the bishop(s) of the Society that the episcopal tap will be turned off. At the moment the odd bishop will do ordinations for fsspeter, good shepherd. I don't believe they do confirmations though. The Society at the moment confirms sub con because the new rite (and new bishops) are so doubtful I don't know if this would be allowed in the future.

    The stuff about the buildings and expansion, however, is pure rumour and exagerration. The danger of forums, I suppose... :boxer:


    "You just spoke to a priest who was there" -- says you, who joined this forum 4 days ago. It is very likely that your job is to muddy the waters, confusing us and buying Menzingen some more time.

    And that was a nice little dig about forums being hives of rumor and exaggeration...

  • No, not muddying waters; only separating what is certain and what only may be. I think the whole situation is very dangerous at the moment particularly the idea of a personal prelature which locks the Society in a submission to Rome for the whole future. bp Fellay thinks this pope has great good will towards us (I don't, incidentally) but who knows what a pope in the future would do.
    Sorry about the dig! If I seriously thought forums were bad I wouldn't be in one! :sign-surrender: :sign-surrender:

    Are you not aware that under the 1917 code of Canon law if you make an allegation like this in public about a Bishop and cannot provide two eyewitnesses who can prove it, who are of good standing in the church then you become ipso facto excommunicated?


    Half of this forum must be under excommunication then. :laugh1:

    We've all accused a bishop of being a Freemason at one point or another. Some people on ths forum even say that John XXIII, Paul VI, and Benedict XVI are Freemasons. Have you never accused a bishop or a pope of being a Freemason? Maybe you have been excommunicated too? Speaking of the 1917 Code of Canon Law, what does it say about clerics who publicly defect from the faith?
