Nihil Obstat Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Communique from the General House of the Society of Saint Pius X at the occasion of the election of Pope Francis [Links removed] 13-03-2013 With the news of the election of Pope Francis, the Society of Saint Pius X prays Almighty God to bestow abundantly on the new Sovereign Pontiff the graces necessary for the exercise of this heavy charge. Strengthened by divine Providence, may the new pope confirm his brethren in the faith, with the authority which Saint Pius X proclaimed at the beginning of his pontificate: “We do not wish to be, and with the Divine assistance never shall be aught before human society but the Minister of God, of whose authority We are the depositary. The interests of God shall be Our interest, and for these We are resolved to spend all Our strength and Our very life.†Saint Francis of Assisi, whose name the new pontiff has taken, heard the Crucified Saviour say to him, Go, Francis and rebuild my Church. It is in such a spirit that the bishops, priests, and religious of the Society of Saint Pius X assure the Holy Father of their filial desire to restore all things in Christ, so that Christ may be all and in all†according to their means, for the love of the Holy Catholic and Roman Church. Menzingen, le 13 mars 2013 [1] Luke 22,32 [2] Saint Pius X’s Encyclical E supremi apostolatus (4 October 1903) [3] Eph. 1,10 and Col. 3,11.

Nihil Obstat Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 PM me the link tradboy. Rather than go to the trouble, just search for the website DICI. That is the official communications hub of the Society. It is just that directly linking to it will sometimes result in edits and warnings.

Evangetholic Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Is Phatmass's position on the Society that it's in schism? This is not as best I can tell the Vatican's position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think Phatmass has an 'official' policy. Perhaps there is an 'official' position, in which case that might be elucidated. The Vatican's position to date has clarified itself as clearly being that the Society is not in a state of schism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean I can post the link to DICI? :) I get a painful feeling in the pit of my stomach when I leave something un-sourced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slappo Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I am heartened that the SSPX reaction was not one villed with vitriol, but hope and prayers. I think their "official" reaction is much better than many of the "traddy Catholics". Saint Francis of Assisi, whose name the new pontiff has taken, heard the Crucified Saviour say to him, Go, Francis and rebuild my Church. It is in such a spirit that the bishops, priests, and religious of the Society of Saint Pius X assure the Holy Father of their filial desire to restore all things in Christ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their "official" reaction is much better than many of the "traddy Catholics". I agree. For a bunch of 'dangerous renegades', I found the press release to be prayerful and sincere. "Saint Francis of Assisi, whose name the new pontiff has taken, heard the Crucified Saviour say to him, Go, Francis and rebuild my Church. It is in such a spirit that the bishops, priests, and religious of the Society of Saint Pius X assure the Holy Father of their filial desire to restore all things in Christ, so that Christ may be all and in all†according to their means, for the love of the Holy Catholic and Roman Church." Who could disagree with this sentiment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
