Summary
A meeting took place on February 12 between Fr. Davide Pagliarani, Superior General of the Fraternity of Saint Pius X, and Cardinal Fernández, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. This occurred following Fr. Pagliarani’s announcement of new episcopal ordinations scheduled to take place in July 2023, which were unauthorized by the Pope. The meeting was seen as a breach of authority from Rome. Fr. Pagliarani stated that for him and the Fraternity, the supreme good is the well-being of souls. Some traditionalists see their difficulty within the Church but remain loyal to its leaders. They suggest embracing full communion with the Catholic hierarchy could benefit more souls through their apostolate. However, they also acknowledge potential opposition from existing members. Despite these reservations, there’s a hope that traditionalists might achieve unity and wider influence in serving many more souls.
