Interview of Bishop Fellay with Edward Pentin
In an interview published in the National Catholic Register, Bishop Bernard Fellay comments on the situation between Rome and the Society of St. Pius X.
Bishop Bernard Fellay, the Superior General of the SSPX, told the Register May 13 that he is “persuaded, at least in part, by a different approach,” in which, he believes, Pope Francis is placing less weight on the Council and more emphasis on “saving souls and finding a way to do it.”
According to Bishop Fellay, the Vatican is telling the Society, through nuanced words, that it is now possible to question the Council’s teachings on religious liberty, ecumenism, and liturgical reform “and remain Catholic".
In a three-part video interview, Bishop Fellay gives a rundown of the reconciliation process with Rome, discusses the Society's motivations and wheter the SSPX will continue to be critical of aspects of the post-conciliar Church after reconciliation.
