 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

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 ...

Comparision of the Tridentine, Cranmer and Novus Ordo Masses

By
+ JMJ I downloaded the comparison that was linked in the previous article on the mass (here) . ... a very good reference! P^3 From: Whispers of Restoration (available at this link) . CHARTING LITURGICAL CHANGE Comparing the 1962 Ordinary of the Roman Mass to changes made during the Anglican Schism; Compared in turn to changes adopted in the creation of Pope Paul VI’s Mass in 1969 The chart on the reverse is a concise comparison of certain ritual differences between three historical rites for the celebration of the Catholic Mass Vetus Ordo: “Old Order,” the Roman Rite of Mass as contained in the 1962 Missal, often referred to as the “Traditional Latin Mass.”The Ordinary of this Mass is that of Pope St. Pius V (1570) following the Council of Trent (1545-63), hence the occasional moniker “Tridentine Mass.” However, Trent only consolidated and codified the Roman Rite already in use at that time; its essential form dates to Pope St. Gregory the Great (+604), in whose time the R...

Rome and the SSPX - Version 2026 Part 5b - How Did We Get Here??? ... A Continued Anlaysis using ChatGPT.

By
 + JMJ Part 5b How Did We Get Here??? So in the previous ChatGPT analysis the LLM ‘concluded’ that there was continuity in doctrine. So now we’re going to explore this element. There is some repetition but I don't have time right now to do a lot of editing.  I think instead we'll have a Part 5c where I try to pull it all together with some old fashioned human sense making. At the end point, I think the LLM collects an interesting if somewhat skewed perspective: The SSPX mapping hinges on this claim: That Vatican II affirms (at least implicitly) propositions that the Syllabus of Errors explicitly condemned. The broader Church response is: The same propositions are still rejected—but Vatican II is addressing different categories (political, pastoral, anthropological) rather than reversing doctrine. While the summary of the SSPX position seems close, that of the broader Church seems to be either an outright AI hallucination or a consensus point from the literature that it used...

Rome and the SSPX - Version 2026 Part 5 - How Did We Get Here???

By
 + JMJ This is the fifth in this series and I think it may require a part b to show the controversial documents and teachings of the Pope post V2. P^3 Part 5 How Did We Get Here??? Introduction My family became ‘Traditional’ in early 1980’s and I didn’t realise until years later how early we entered the Fray. So the SSPX was slightly over a decade old when we started going to Mass. That is a young organization, as someone said at the consecrations “Aren’t you a little young to be a bishop?”, the response was, “That is something that time will change.” 1970: SSPX founded with diocesan approval (Abp. Marcel Lefebvre) 1974–1976: Vatican II disputes escalate; Lefebvre suspended a divinis 1988: Illicit episcopal consecrations → excommunications declared 2000: SSPX Jubilee pilgrimage to Rome (signals openness to talks) 2009: Excommunications lifted by Pope Benedict XVI 2011–2012: Doctrinal talks with CDF collapse 2015–2017: SSPX granted faculties for confessi...
