 Gloria.TV(link), Rorate (link), and Le Salon Beige (link) are reporting that the SSPX Superior General, Fr. Pagliarani, met with the Pope.  Le Salon Beige has posted an addendum (tous en francais) and I have attached a DeepL translation below.


Le District américain de la Fraternité Saint-Pie X publiera bientôt une déclaration concernant cette rencontre.

Ce mardi 8 février, le pape François a reçu en audience l’abbé Davide Pagliarani. Depuis son élection en 2018, c’est la première fois que le nouveau supérieur général de la Fraternité Saint-Pie X rencontre le pontife actuel. Précédemment, Mgr Fellay avait eu l’occasion de rencontrer le pape Benoît XVI (le 29 août 2005) ou encore le pape François (le 1er avril 2016). De même, Mgr Lefebvre avait rencontré Paul VI et Jean-Paul II.

Cette visite souligne le maintien des relations entre le Saint-Siège et la Fraternité Saint-Pie X. Celles n’ont jamais été interrompues même si elles ont traversé une période de gel entre 1988 et 2000. Elles semblent démontrer que le regard porté par le pape sur le mouvement de Mgr Lefebvre demeure le même. Le pontife argentin avait tour à tour accordé aux membres de la Fraternité Saint-Pie X des pouvoirs pour confesser, marier, 0ordonner, juger en première instance, etc.

Prêtre italien, l’abbé Pagliarani a été, pendant six ans, supérieur du séminaire argentin de la Fraternité Saint-Pie X. Il est maintenant assisté dans son gouvernement par Mgr de Galarreta, de nationalité argentine, l’un des quatre évêques ordonnés par Mgr Lefebvre, et l’abbé Bouchacourt qui, à plusieurs reprises, a rencontré le cardinal Bergoglio à l’époque où tous deux résidaient à Buenos Aires.

 

The American District of the Society of St. Pius X will soon issue a statement regarding this meeting.

This Tuesday, February 8, Pope Francis received Father Davide Pagliarani in audience. Since his election in 2018, this is the first time the new Superior General of the Society of St. Pius X has met with the current pontiff. Previously, Bishop Fellay had the opportunity to meet with Pope Benedict XVI (August 29, 2005) or Pope Francis (April 1, 2016). Similarly, Archbishop Lefebvre had met with Paul VI and John Paul II.

This visit underlines the maintenance of relations between the Holy See and the Society of Saint Pius X. These relations have never been interrupted, even though they were frozen between 1988 and 2000. They seem to demonstrate that the Pope's view of Archbishop Lefebvre's movement remains the same. The Argentine pontiff had in turn granted the members of the Society of St. Pius X powers of confession, marriage, ordination, trial, etc.

Father Pagliarani, an Italian priest, has been superior of the Argentinean seminary of the Society of St. Pius X for six years. He is now assisted in his government by Archbishop de Galarreta, an Argentinean national, one of the four bishops ordained by Archbishop Lefebvre, and Father Bouchacourt, who on several occasions met with Cardinal Bergoglio when they were both living in Buenos Aires.

I read some interesting remarks concerning this meeting, but I would like to note the highlighted section as it presents something not commonly known. The SSPX was granted permission to ordain without approval of the local bishop and authority in ecclesiastical trials.  I'm not certain if this still is in effect, but I look forward to hearing any details about the meeting.

P^3

What the heck is a congregation of "Pontifical Right"

By
+ JMJ In a discussion with a friend the question occurred to me that I didn't actually know was is involved in being a religious order of 'pontifical right'. I had a vague notion that this meant they reported to Rome as opposed to the local diocese. I'm also aware that, according to the accounts I have heard, the Archbishop received 'praise' and the written direction to incardinate priests directly into the SSPX.  This is interesting because it implies that the SSPX priests were no longer required to incardinate in the local diocese but in the SSPX. This is something that belongs to an order of 'pontifical right'. Anyway here's some definitions: Di diritto pontificio is the Italian term for “of pontifical right” . It is given to the ecclesiastical institutions (the religious and secular institutes, societies of apostolic life) either created by the Holy See or approved by it with the formal decree, known by its Latin name, Decretu

The Curious Case of Steve Skojec and the Dangers of Deep Diving into the Crisis Sub-Titled: The Failings of Others

By
 + JMJ It's been a while now since Steve Skojec sold 1P5 and abandoned the Catholic Faith. I've been a 'Trad' since 1982 and in those 40+ years I seen this death-spiral before with a similar end point. It seems that anyone who jumps into the fray unprepared for the enormous task of righting wrongs will, eventually, become discouraged by not the task but the people who surround them.   I remember when Skojec complained of the treatment his family received from a traditional priest.  This seems to have been the start of the end for him. So what can we learn from the likes of Steve Skojec, Michael Voris (maybe?), Louie Verrecchio, Gerry Matatix and other celebrity Catholics? Probably quite a lot about what not to do. First, don't burn out on the crisis?  When you burn out, on work or anything else, little things assume a more greater importance than they are due.   This is one of my 'canary in the coal mine' signals that I've been stretching myself too thin

De Veritate - St. Thomas Aquinas - What is necessary to believe explicitly?

By
I was recently introduced to a work of St. Thomas De Veritate ( Source ) in the course of an argument concerning the minimum content of explicit faith.  When I submitted the following quote as proof: Theological faith, that is, a supernatural faith in Revelation, is necessary, and this is an effect of grace (D 1789); nemini unquam sine ilIa contigit iustificatio (D 1793). As far as the content of this faith is concerned, according to Hebr. 11, 6, at least the existence of God and retribution in the other world must be firmly held, necessitate medii (by the necessity of means) with explicit faith. In regard to the Trinity and the Incarnation, implicit faith suffices. The supernatural faith necessary for justification is attained when God grants to the unbeliever by internal inspiration or external teaching a knowledge of the truths of Revelation, and actual grace to make the supernatural act of faith. Cf. De verite 14, I I.Ott - Fundamentals of Dogma p241 In response my opponent wrot

Gary Campbell - Former SSPX Priest

By
 + JMJ I've come across Gary Campbell's articles on Where Peter Is and noticed that he seems to have very strong biases, assumptions and reactions to anything that runs against these. Driven by curiosity I have found a copy of his letter to Bishop Fellay explaining his reasons for leaving the SSPX only five years after his ordination in Winona. I was surprised to learn that I was present for his ordination. Given this, I was interested in reviewing his letter to Bishop Fellay. There will be two versions in this post. The unblocked and blocked letter. The unblocked is, obviously the full letter. The block, meaning unnecessary text will be blocked out, is a technique I use to remove ancillary text while focusing on key phrases. After completing my read, I believe that the root of much of what caused the issues with Fr. Campbell could be the seeds of the 'resistance' that, when the same perceptions were challenged by continued negotiations with Rome resulted in the necessa

Morning and Evening and other sundry Prayers

By
+ JMJ Along the theme of P^3 (Prayer, Penance, Patience), and for my own reference ... here is a collection of Morning and Evening prayers from the Ideal Daily Missal along with some additional prayers. In this crisis of the Church, I do not think it is possible to do too much prayer, penance and have patience. P^3
