It
has been quite a long time now that this letter has kept you
waiting, and it is with joy, in this Easter season, that we
would like to take our bearings and to present a few
reflections on the situation of the Church...

Pope Benedict's
last major act?
Interview
of Bishop Fellay
For a moment I thought that, with his resignation,
Benedict XVI would perhaps make a final gesture in our favor as
pope. That being said, I have a hard time seeing how he could do
so. We will probably have to wait for the next pope...

A priest must be a man of faith:
Bishop Fellay's
sermon of 1-27-2013
This is one of the great misfortunes of our time, this ignorance
of what a priest is, even before knowing what he does. The only
way to know a priest in his reality is faith... We are living in
an age in which this faith is abused, attacked, slashed,
everywhere, outside the Church and inside as well...

What
Bishop Fellay really said to Cardinal Canizares about the New
Mass
As very often in such
circumstances, a phrase has been interpreted badly: I was
describing to Cardinal Canizares (and this was some five or six
years ago) that the abuses in the liturgy have caused a major
reaction amongst us...

Controversy around Bishop Fellay's conference
Bishop Fellay stated that among the opponents of the SSPX’s
regularization were forces outside the Church, known for their
opposition to Catholic doctrine... it is not out of place to
point out that 2 influential Jews spoke out publicly on Rome’s
relations with the SSPX... 1-18-2013

50-year assessment of Vatican II
The response given by the Society! I think that everything is

Where is the continuity of the Council?
Bishop Fellay's Paris sermon
We have reached an impasse,
but we will continue our fight. My dear brethren, this is the situation. And this is why it is obvious
that since June matters are at a standstill. It is a return to
ground zero. We are at exactly the same point as Archbishop
Lefebvre in the years 1975, 1974...

Where do we stand in Rome?

what has happened. Then, a look at the present and perhaps at the
future...
The path leading out of this crisis is quite simple... the only
way to get out of the crisis is to return to what the Church has
always done. 11-9-2012

"It is indeed a doctrinal preamble, the acceptance or rejection of which will then determine whether or not some canonical status is obtained. Doctrine is by no means being put in second place.
