SSPX waiting for agreement with Vatican

Tuesday, April 17th, 2012

The Superior General of the Society of Saint Pius X , Bishop Bernad Fellay, sent a message reserved to the other three bishops and to all priests belonging to the Lefebvrist group, confirming the state of relations with the Holy See.

Rumours around hint towards a positive outcome of the prolonged negotiations.

According to Vatican Insider, Bishop Fellay, explained that, for the time being, nothing of a definitive nature has yet taken place, neither in the direction of a canonical recognition, not in the direction of a rupture, and it is therefore time to wait and see.

“We are waiting, an agreement will happen if concessions which touch upon the faith are not asked from us and if we are assured true freedom,” Fellay wrote.
