Pope Francis Received Fr. Pagliarani (SSPX)

 +

JMJ

 

 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.

Communiqué on the Meeting between Cardinal Ladaria and Fr. Pagliarani

+ JMJ I suspect that the 'resistance' will be freaking out about this ... but as with the Archbishop, when Rome calls ... they go ... even if just to let them know (again) why they do what they do. Concerning the alleged 'sell-out' I have this to say: I should update the meme ... with 2017, 18 etc. The 'resistors' should stop and think a little: We are in the 18th year of the latest sell-out frenzy. So we're still waiting. Try and reconcile the 'resistance' positions with the Catholic Faith. If it doesn't objectively sync up - admit that you're wrong and take appropriate action.

"Father, Should I Attend That Mass?" Advice on Attending Non-SSPX Latin Masses

 + JMJ I see that the 'resistors' are in a tizzy because Fr. Robinson used them as an example instead of the sedevacantists. What is interesting is that you can apply the exact same reasons against going to a sede mass as that of the 'resistors'. Namely: On the other extreme are those situations where an SSPX priest knows that a certain non-SSPX traditionalist venue is a grave danger to the faith . Frankly, most, if not all, of the Resistance Masses would fall into this category. In many cases, the behavior of these priests has been and continues to be scandalous, by their (A) spirit, their (B) preaching, and their indiscriminate conferral of the (C) priesthood and (D) episcopacy. To attend a Mass with such ongoing scandals poses a serious danger to the souls of the faithful. Yep, looking at A,B,C and D the shoe fits. On this basis the "resistors" = "sedevacantists".

Morning and Evening and other sundry Prayers

+ 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

Open Letter to Cardinal Gantin - July 6, 1988

There has been some discussion (read lots) about the term 'Conciliar Church'. I have posted this letter written by the Superior General and District Superiors of the SSPX after the 1988 Consecrations. Of particular interest is that the 'Conciliar Church' being referred to as a system. My paraphrase would be that the SSPX regards the 'conciliar Church' as an error within the Church.

The Catholic Church and the Rule of Law- Part II: Dr. John Lamont

+ JMJ This is the second article from Dr. Lamont from his lecture given in May 2014. P^3 Source Part A: Society of St. Hugh of Cluny Source Part B: Society of St. Hugh of Cluny 8 May2014 The Catholic Church and the Rule of Law- Part II By John Lamont To understand how the Jesuit conception of obedience departed from earlier conceptions, it is helpful to compare it with the teaching of St. Thomas on obedience. The fundamental difference between the two is that St. Thomas considers the proper object of obedience to be the precept of the superior (2a2ae q. 104 a. 2 co., ad 3). Obedience that seeks to forestall the expressed will of the superior does not bear on what the superior wants or thinks in general, but only on what the superior intends to command. St. Ignatius’s lowest degree of obedience, which he does not consider to be virtuous, is thus what St. Thomas considers to be the only form of obedience. St. Thomas holds that St. Ignatius’s alleged higher forms of o...
