Bishop of Quimper: "It's My Head or Yours"

In December 2023, Monsignor Laurent Dognin, Bishop of Quimper, France, announced that the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP) would have to leave the diocese and close its parish.

Priest of the FSSP were present in Quimper since 2016, where their parish had between 250 and 500 members (during the summer), one of the largest parishes in the diocese, if not the largest.

While the FSSP offered a full pastoral program, Dognin's plan is only to replace some of the Holy Masses with twelve diocesan priests who, for the purpose, were trained to celebrate Holy Mass. However, Paix Liturgique (22 June) writes that several of them have already withdrawn. Almost all diocesan priests don't know Latin.

According to Paix Liturgique, Monsignor Dognin is a mere puppet of a group of priests who have been at the head of the diocese for decades and who decide everything in place of the bishop. They forced Dognin's predecessor, Monsignor André Le Vert, to retire at the age of 55.

Monsignor Dognin has understood this, writes Paix Liturgique. That is why he told one of the FSSP priests before his expulsion: "It's my head or yours".

Scapular
A Good Shepherd lays down his life for his sheep. He’s a hireling.

Will Jesus find faith on earth when He comes back? The old mass will be stopped inside churches... and secret mass will begin... barns, fields, houses this will be the result of the False prophet and his minions persecuting us.
True Mass
I guess the question is WHY is he a puppet of a group of priests?
