FSSPX Priest Suggests that Transalpine Redemptorists Aligned with Archbishop Viganò
There is alignment, or at least tacit sympathy, between the Transalpine Redemptorists in Scotland and Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, an anonymous priest of the Priestly Fraternity of St Pius X (FSSPX) told TheCatholicHerald.com on 2 November.
The priest doubts that they will try to work with the FSSPX, saying: "I think they have gone full sedevacantist. They used to be prior to their reconciliation in 2007."
In a statement on 16 October, Monsignor Viganò praised the community for distancing themselves from the Church the previous day.
He added that he offered the community "full support", whatever that may mean.
On 24 October, the Bishop Hugh Gilbert of Aberdeen stated that the Redemptorists' declaration was "incompatible with the Catholic sense of the Church's unity". He added that the Holy See was examining the matter.

If true, sad! The papacy is not a syllogism. Popes can err and still be pope.
The pope can err in his ordinary magisterial teaching if he is not prudent and lacks discernment. He can also err as a private theologians when his theological opinions are erroneous ie. John XXII.
But if he errs in his teaching, even if not solemnly, as John XXII did, he must correct himself. This is what John XXII did before his death, at the suggestion of the theologians and bishops of his time. And that is why Saint Bellarmine said he maintained his papacy.
