 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.

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 th...

Communique about Avrille Dominicans - SSPX.org

By
+ JMJ Having completed the review of the 'Avrille' perspective, this communique from the French District Superior is perfectly timed. I believe that the 'resistance' has lost rationality and further argumentation simply results in their holding on to their false ideal all the more firmly. Pray much ... First, for them to acquiesce to the grace of humility in order to obtain a clear perspective on the principles involved. Second, that we may remain faithful to the Church, and Her Dogmas, Doctrines and Principles. Lest we become that which against we strove ... P^3 Courtesy of SSPX.org

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

A Reply to Martin Blackshaw’s FLAWED Remnant article titled: FLAWED: SSPX Advice on Abortion-tainted Vaccines

By
 + JMJ    An article has appeared in the Remnant (link to article) and I am afraid that there are a number of flaws in it that need to be addressed. The author, Martin Blackshaw, believes that both the Church and the SSPX are misapplying the principle of Moral Theology called 'Cooperation In Evil'.  Unfortunately, Mr. Blackshaw rests most of his arguments on citing authors that support his position, without considering the possibility that they are wrong. This highlights a key factor in this crisis: ignorance of the faith and its application . I don't am not singling out Mr. Blackshaw for this criticism, I have observed that it applies to laity and religious, superior and subject a like.  No one seems immune in this enduring crisis, myself included.  I further believe that this ignorance is why so many Catholics, both traditional and non, rely on their gut feeling or "Catholic conscience" for charting their way through this crisis of the faith.  While...

Magisterium and Levels of Assent

By
+ JMJ Understanding the levels of assent to be given to the teachings of the Church is a critical success factor in walking the knife's edge during this crisis of the Church.  The levels of assent are generally associated with the theological grades of certainty, which are not surprisingly mirrored by the censures for contravening the teachings of the various levels.
