FSSP In Denial: “We Are Not Addressed”

Francis' application document against the Roman Rite “does not directly address the former Ecclesia Dei communities such as the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter who possess their own proper law,” writes the Fraternity of Saint Peter wrote on Fssp.com (December 18).

The statement says that the members of the Fraternity remain committed to their “fidelity to the Successor of Peter” but also to “the faithful observance of the ‘liturgical and disciplinary traditions’ of the Church in accordance with the provisions of the Motu Proprio Ecclesia Dei of July 2, 1988.”

However, the "Successor of Peter" - who is refusing this title - has decreed that this 1988 Motu Proprio is abrogated.

Further, the Fraternity is dependent on bishops to confer Holy Orders who were just "forbidden" to do so in the Roman Rite.

Sint Petrus broederschap kies ervoor om los van Rome verder te gaan. Het gaat hier om trouw te blijven aan het mooie devotie Universele Tridentijnse Katholieke geloof of een kerkelijke organisatie die geen verbondenheid meer heeft met het universele Rooms Katholieke geloof. Wij willen heel graag een schisma.

It's not denial....they have declared their position....! Bravo! I'd say "Dumb like a fox....", except there actually is logic to their position: the FSSP norms were already codified in their Constitutions, which have the binding force of law, and can't simply be overturned by mere fiat in Traditionis Custodes.
Now let's see how this plays out.....pray for them!More

The days of pretending are coming to an end. The FSSP exists in order to perpetuate the traditional formation of priests. The Congregation for Religious will conduct a visitation and burn all the copies of the Summa theologiae, replacing them with Sadlier’s latest first communion textbook, I figure. Lots of crayons and balloons, and felt banners in the chapel. They will have to choose, at that …More
