Summary
Edward Pentin, of National Catholic Register, reports that Vatican conversations continue despite announced episcopal consecrations by the Society of Saint Pius X. The FSSPX’s decision has sparked anticipation for a resolution either to prevent or proceed with consecrations within a shared canonical framework. This controversy stems from the wounds inflicted upon the Church by recent councils and synods. The Society’s Superior General, Father Davide Pagliarani, emphasized his commitment to fidelity to the Catholic Church, stating that upcoming episcopal consecrations aim to assist faithful souls, not challenge the Church. He called for dialogue and a deeper understanding of these actions within prayer. Additionally, Fr. Claude Barthe, a former FSSPX member now teaching at an international seminary, advised caution over current developments. The ultimate goal remains cooperation and reconciliation in the face of significant ecclesiastical divisions.
