The Superior of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX), Father Davide Pagliarani, commented on the July 1 episcopal consecrations in an in-house interview with LaPorteLatine.org. Key lines.
- The episcopal consecrations… are not a rebellion, but the response to a cruel necessity.
- Cardinals Gerhard Müller, Robert Sarah, and other bishops suffer from a typically modern malaise: an inability to reconcile the demands of faith with those of canon law, leading to a kind of paralyzing dichotomy.
- The FSSPX holds that these principles must not simply be juxtaposed, but hierarchized - one subordinated to the other.
- The ‘rigorous’ canonists still consider the FSSPX schismatic — this is how one must understand the statements of Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke.
- Bishop Athanasius Schneider has shown great courage and freedom of speech… his support will go down in history.
- I thank Bishop Joseph Strickland for his message full of strength, clarity, and courage.
- Bishop Vitus Huonder, before his death two years ago, was already encouraging the Fraternity to proceed with consecrations; having been tasked by Rome with dialogue, he was among the few who truly listened and understood.
- The program imposed by Pope Francis… can best be summarized, unfortunately, by the word ‘disaster’.
- The rupture does not come from the FSSPX, but from the blatant divergence of official teachings from the Tradition and constant Magisterium of the Church.
- Insofar as the self-demolition of the Church has come from Rome… it is only from Rome and through Rome that this terrible crisis will come to an end.
