Pagliarani Blocked Fellay's 2018 Deal: "Rome Has to Acknowledge Its Errors"

The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) rejected a Doctrinal Declaration proposed by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), which would have been followed by the granting of a canonical status, Monsignor Guido Pozzo told LaNuovaBq.it on July 7.
A meeting took place on 28 February 2018 at the Congregation between Cardinal Luis Ladaria, then Prefect, Monsignor Guido Pozzo, and Bishop Bernard Fellay.
Bishop Fellay said he would submit the Declaration to the FSSPX General Chapter, scheduled for July 2018. At that Chapter, on 11 July 2018, Father Davide Pagliarani was elected Superior General.
In the autumn of 2018, Cardinal Ladaria and Monsignor Pozzo met with Father Pagliarani.
Monsignor Pozzo on Fr Pagliarani: "He informed us that he would not sign the Declaration, as he considered it insufficient and inadequate to address the difficulties and critical issues raised by the FSSPX, and that Rome would have to acknowledge its errors."

The July 2026 consecrations are portrayed not simply as another repeat of 1988.
Instead, they are interpreted as demonstrating that the SSPX intends to perpetuate itself independently of Rome for the foreseeable future.

The SSPX's Ecclesiology of Substitution: Part of the Whole, or a new Whole? — And the Problem with a Crisis that Never Ends.

This long work by Father Clément Barré, a priest of the Archdiocese of Bordeaux, was published shortly before the episcopal consecrations of the Society of Saint Pius X (July 1st, 2026), but months before they had been announced.

Priest Attends Brother’s Homosexual ‘Wedding,’ Calls It ‘Amazing,’ ‘Special’

A Canadian Catholic priest from Ontario posted on social media that he attended his brother’s homosexual “wedding,” which he described as “amazing” and “EPIC.” Father Rico Passero, who is listed as the pastor at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Grimsby, Ontario, made the Facebook post. “What an EPIC wedding weekend last week. It took me some time to finally receive some amazing photos from the Midnight in Eden wedding weekend of one of my dear brothers, Anthony Passero and Aldair Martinez Garcia,” wrote Passero in a July 5 post. “Definitely one of most special and amazing celebrations I’ve ever been to – bias aside. On behalf of my mother Carmelina, my late father Tony, my brother Daniel and I, we would like to sincerely thank all family and friends who came to support Anthony and Aldair in this celebration.” In Passero’s post, he noted that he “MC’d the reception,” saying that he was “still on a high from the weekend.” “I cannot wait to see these amazing photos, video, drone shots and …

Bishop of Liège Wishes New FSSPX Priest Well: Bishop Jean-Pierre Delville of Liège, Belgium, wished Fr. Vincent Richter, ordained for the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X at Écône on 29 June, well in his future mission in Brazil and urged him to serve Christ "as an authentic disciple of the Gospel." His tone was firmer after the FSSPX's four episcopal consecrations on 1 July without a papal mandate, describing them as deepening the Society's separation from Rome while still calling for continued dialogue.

US to let Ukraine produce Patriot interceptor missiles – Trump

Washington still refuses to provide more ammunition directly, as its stocks were reportedly depleted during the war with Iran The US could grant Ukraine a license to manufacture Patriot anti-aircraft missiles, President Donald Trump has said during a meeting with Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Türkiye. He maintained, however, that Washington would not supply the missiles directly. Ukraine has been heavily dependent on weapons from its Western backers throughout most of its conflict with Russia, which is now in its fifth year. Zelensky has repeatedly blamed the West for arms shortages and delays in deliveries, while constantly demanding more aid, including Patriot missiles, saying Ukraine does not have enough interceptors to counter Russian airstrikes. “We’re going to give a license to you to make Patriots. That’s pretty cool. This way, you can’t complain that we’re not giving them enough,” Trump told Zelensky during a meeting in Ankara on …

FSSPX Confessions Valid - Cardinal Müller Doubles Down

On July 6, Cardinal Gerhard Müller told K-TV.org that FSSPX confessions are illicit but valid. Now he has repeated his disagreement with the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith. Its explanatory note from July 2 had claimed that confessions heard by FSSPX priests are "invalid."
"The note from the Dicastery, which appears only as explanatory notes, is unclear," Cardinal Müller told Andreas Wailzer on X.com on July 8.
He added: "The authority to forgive sins is conferred by Christ Himself in the sacrament of Holy Orders. It is not conferred by the Pope through his primacy of jurisdiction. Orthodox priests, too, validly grant absolution."
Müller continued: "The Pope can only prohibit the exercise of this authority. He can also reserve certain sins for his own absolution. One example is the sin against the unity of the Church, committed through an unauthorized episcopal consecration."

Cardinal Bagnasco: Why Not Summorum Pontificum?

"There are many rites in the Catholic Church; in Milan, for example, there is the Ambrosian Rite," Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco told AdVaticanum.com on July 8.
He added: "The document of Benedict XVI, Summorum Pontificum, does not create a new liturgical rite, but recognises, within the one Roman Rite, an ordinary form and an extraordinary form."
For the Cardinal, the issue is not the unity of the faith but rather "legitimate personal sensibilities": "If, in this area, differences do not become absolutes, banners, or parties, then why not?"

No, it was Montini with Bugnini who created it. Ratzinger just tried to save it by imposing a legal fiction of two forms of the same rite for ontologically and historically different rites.

Chartres Organizer Hopes for Bishops' Goodwill Following FSSPX Consecrations

Following the FSSPX episcopal consecrations, Philippe Darantière hopes "for great goodwill toward us on the part of the bishops," he told OsvNews.com on July 7.
Since 2025, he has been president of the Notre-Dame de Chrétienté association, which organizes the annual Paris-to-Chartres pilgrimage, France.
For Darantière, contact between the faithful attached to the traditional Roman rite and the bishops of France is "still tentative." It varies depending on the diocese and the specific circumstances there.
"We do not communicate much with the bishops," he admitted. He also expressed his hope for "improvements in relations with the bishops, particularly in the summer, when there are many requests for weddings and baptisms in the traditional rite from the faithful who are attached to the traditional rite but who are far from their usual parish."
Darantière is supporting Pope Leo XIV's visit to France in September. The association Notre-Dame de Chrétienté is providing volunteers and encouraging …okunengi

US Archbishop Calls Attending FSSPX Masses "Sinful"

Catholics may not knowingly take part in the liturgical celebrations, apostolates, or other activities of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, Archbishop Shawn McKnight of Kansas City, Kansas, wrote in a July 2 statement following the episcopal consecrations.
McKnight noted that the SSPX's ministry "is not legitimate in the life of the Church" and that "the sacraments of Penance and Matrimony administered by them are now invalid."
Participation in the worship of the "schismatic" community fosters separation from the Church's communion, he added: "Such participation is not merely discouraged but is gravely contrary to the unity of the Church and, when undertaken with full knowledge and deliberate consent, is sinful."

He's undoing his predecessor's [Archbishop Naumann - a "foe" of Francis] wise, pastoral advice who decreed that anyone could attend services at the Immaculata (the huge, new SSPX church in St. Mary's KS See: The Immaculata Church Project) if they did so "for reasons of personal piety" not rebellion.

Grand Jury Foreman Admits That Action Against the Negro Is Considered.
The reported proposal by some of the members of the Grand Jury to meet for an investigation of Jim Conley's connection with the murder of Mary Phagan has precipitated a sharp struggle in which Solicitor Dorsey has declared himself bitterly opposed to any action looking toward the indictment of the negro as a principal in the crime or even as an accessory after the fact, as the negro admits himself to be.
The fight has resolved itself into a contest to determine whether Conley shall go on the stand in the trial of Leo Frank as a reputable, trustworthy and free citizen, the status in which the Solicitor wishes to maintain him, or as a prisoner with the shadow of an indictment hanging over him.
In the latter aspect, several of the members of the Grand Jury are said to contend that he should appear, inasmuch as he is a confessed …

McElroy's New Statement on Exorcist Contradicts His Previous One

🌈 Cardinal Robert McElroy of Washington now says he removed Msgr. Stephen Rossetti as a Washington exorcist not because of his demons-and-UFOs comments, but because exorcism should be a private ministry.
In a June 29 interview released July 8, McElroy said his objection was that exorcists should stick to quietly helping people in serious cases, not operate publicly: "It wasn't touching on the question of UFOs... my major objection is that I think the traditional role of an exorcist is a very private one."
That explanation contradicts the archdiocese's own June statement announcing the removal. It said Rossetti's UFO comments "gravely undermine the Church's very precise teaching on the devil, demons and exorcism."
Monsignor Rossetti had said in a video that he thinks many UFO sightings are demons capable of feats beyond human ability, such as impossible high-speed maneuvers.

Archbishop Gänswein: "Now Is the Time to Abolish Traditionis Custodes"

Archbishop Georg Gänswein hopes the restrictions on the Mass in the Roman rite will be lifted, he told Il Giornale on July 7.
Looking back to Benedict XVI's 2007 Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum, Monsignor Gänswein said the Pope wanted to restore “full rights to a rite that had never been abolished”: “His goal was to give it its rightful place again within the Church and to restore peace in the Church's liturgical life.”
According to Archbishop Gänswein, Summorum Pontificum was not conceived as a step toward reconciliation with the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X. Rather, “it was directed toward the Church itself.”
Benedict XVI was pleased with the results of this reform. “It was beginning to bear fruit. It worked especially well among young people, and this is evident above all in the steadily growing numbers participating each year in the Paris-to-Chartres pilgrimage.”
Monsignor Gänswein added that these young people are not opposed to the Second Vatican Council: “Anyone who …okunengi

Leo XIV Inherited a Crisis - and Makes It Worse

In a July 6 InfoVaticana.com opinion piece ("Tribune"), Pedro Gómez Carrizo argues that decades of doctrinal and disciplinary drift have hollowed out the Church's authority.
He writes that Leo XIV demands obedience from the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X. after years of treating other disputes as negotiable, contextual, or exempt.
Leo XIV' Priorities Exposed
Rome has tolerated what Carrizo considers far more serious ruptures than the episcopal consecration of the FSSPX:
- Germany's Synodal Way, which has drifted toward schism without consequence.
- Episcopal appointments negotiated with China's Communist Party.
- Blessings of homosexual couples.
- Liturgical experimentation.
- Synodality, which has repackaged old heresies as "innovation".
The willingness to make exceptions in many controversial areas while drawing an absolute line at Écône, Carrizo contends, exposes the pope’s priorities rather than his strength.

Prevost did not inherit a "crisis"; rather, he is part of the apostasy of his infamous mentor Bergoglio—part of the anti-Christian army waging war against God—which is something very different. Refusing to see reality means being under a diabolical spell.
Let us begin with the irrefutable fact that Benedict did not resign from the papacy; there was a flaw in the resignation—whether involuntary or voluntary—that rendered it invalid. Consequently, there was no apostolic succession, and we are facing yet another false pope who openly defies God and the Church—one who acts against the faith and against morality.
Against the faith: he promotes the heresy of religious indifferentism under the guise of "ecumenism"; he profanes the priesthood and the papacy by recognizing the elevation of a female Lutheran heretic as legitimate; he calls a mosque—where the false god Allah is worshipped—a "sacred place"; and from the very beginning of his sacrilegious, apostate priesthood, he has offered worship …okunengi
