Vatican II (eg, "born of Liberalism and Modernism, poisoned entirely,
coming from heresy and ends in heresy"), words that were worth
Archbishop anger Conciliar Popes, contrary to the Declaration of 2012 refers only once to the Council
with its "new" only "tainted with errors," in terms that could easily
imagine Benedict XVI suscribiéndolos from beginning to end. Does the Society now thinks that the Conciliar Popes do not pose major problems? "

the exclusion of the SSPX of one of its four bishops consecrated for
service by Archbishop Lefebvre in 1988, is now official. It
is a crucial decision by the leaders of the SSPX, not for any personal
reason, but by the removal of what many people consider to be the biggest obstacle within the SSPX for any reconciliation between the Catholic Tradition and the Rome Reconcile. Now that he is not the SSPX can quite easily continue their slide towards liberalism comfortable. "

Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, full of clever fallacies and
counterclaims. "In these circumstances, while hope remains strong, it is clear that something new must be injected into our conversations if you do not want to appear
before the Church, before the general public and to ourselves as
engaged in a polite exchange without end and without fruit ... so what
is asked the Fraternity in this situation? ... surely the time has come
to abandon the harsh and counterproductive rhetoric that has emerged in
recent years ... The
only imaginable for Priestly Fraternity future is on the path to full
communion with the Holy See, with the acceptance of an unconditional
profession of faith in its fullness, and therefore with a well - ordered church life, sacramental and pastoral " .

04/07/2013 ACUERDISTAS STATEMENTS OF MONS. Galarreta IN AN INTERVIEW GIVEN IN POLAND: "Of
course it would be best that Rome gave up the conciliar errors, return
to tradition and only then, on this basis, the Fraternity automatically
obtain a canonical status in the Church regularized. However, reality urges us not to depend on an eventual agreement of a self - criticism of Rome, but of an allocation of collateral Rome, such as it is, allow the Brotherhood remain as is. "

Magisterial teaching that has more authority, and therefore that
acceptance of the doctrines of the Catholic Church requires accepting
these teachings more authority and reject the small proportion of errors
in Vatican II ".

of the Holy Year is a new step towards canonical recognition ...
contacts between the Superiors of the Commission Ecclesia Dei and the
Superiors and other representatives of the SSPX have favored the
development of a climate of trust and mutual respect, which must be the
basis of a process approach ... I think the path undertaken approach has
given some fruit, especially for this change in attitude from both
sides and worth continue on this line ... the releaser and magnanimous
gesture of Pope Francisco in the circumstance of the year of Mercy has
undoubtedly contributed to further calm the state of relations with the
Fraternity, showing that the Holy See has at its heart the approach and
reconciliation, which should also have a canonical coating ".

And I I think he liked it . And
the contacts he had in Argentina with our brothers in whom he saw a
spontaneity and directness, as we have not hidden anything. Of
course, we tried to get something for Argentina where we were in
trouble with the state with regard to residence permits, but does not
hide anything, we did not behave with rodeos, and I think that he liked.
It is perhaps more the human side of the Fraternity, but
we see that the pope is very human, he gives much weight to this
perspective and this may explain, this could explain a certain
benevolence. Again I have not the last word on this issue, and certainly that behind all this is the Divine Providence. Divine
Providence that manages to put good thoughts in a pope who, on many
points, frightens us greatly, not only to us, we can say that everything
is more or less conservative in the Church is alarmed by what happens ,
so they say, and yet Divine Providence manages to make us go through
these pitfalls, in a very surprising way. Very surprising, because it is very clear that Pope Francis wants to let us live and survive . He even said who wants to listen that never hurt her to the fraternity. He also said that we were Catholics "
