From the sermon of the Superior General of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX / SSPX), Bishop B. Fellay, on Pentecost Sunday, in Bavaria, after a mixed analysis of the messy and confusing situation in the Vatican - where many seem to foil the good measures intended by the Holy Father:
Therefore: We simply keep on going. It is so clear, so obvious, it contradics all that can be seen. But, alas, we keep on going. Which is why, my dear faithful, this call to prayer [remains]. Because we can see that, at the human level, we try to do what is possible, but we can go no further. The discussions now come to an end. But what will happen afterwards? I do not know. It is said that the Pope would resolve the matter later this year. This solution should be something in our favor. But it is said that the condition is that we accept the council. Yet our arguments remain exactly the same as at the beginning. What will happen? I really do not know! But we should not fear. What I want to emphasize is this: Let us be under no illusions. We move on. We are on God's side, on the side of Catholics, of Doctrine, of Morals. We need all of it. ... Just hold on, continue, but without discouragement. For if now there is another shock, we could be discouraged. No, no discouragement, let us remain loyal to the end! [Source: FSSPX - German District; tip: Osservatore Vaticano blog]
For a more adequate picture of the moment, we add his own words pronounced in Minnesota a few days later:
"The truth is that Cardinal Levada has called me to Rome and it appears that it will be around the middle of September. That’s the only thing I know. It’s about the discussions we had with Rome. After these discussions, it had been said that 'the documents will be given to the higher authorities.' These are the exact words. That’s the only thing I know about the future. All the rest is made up. Please don’t run after these rumors." (DICI)
