After Fellay-Levada meeting last Friday,
are doctrinal talks with FSSPX set to start?



Thanks to

for leading us to the Spanish website that is the source for this news.


reports today that Mons. Bernard Fellay, superior-general of the FSSPX, was received by Cardinal William Levada, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith at the Vatican last Friday.

Benedict XVI had said in his letter to all bishops last March 10 that the CDF would be in charge of discussions to resolve doctrinal questions by the FSSPX regarding Vatican II, which is the next step in the Pope's efforts to bring back the FSSPX into full Communion with the Church.

This is Mons. Fellay's first visit to Rome since January, when he was surprised to be informed that the Pope had revoked his excommunication along with the three other bishops who were consecrated by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre in 1988 without the approval of the Vatican.

The FSSPX welcomed the Pope's initiative, since it has always maintained that its main dispute with Rome was about ambiguities in the Magisterium of Vatican-II.

Sources at the Vatican indicated that the impending canonical retirement of Cardinal Dario Castrillon Hoyos (who is turning 80 soon) as head of Ecclesia Dei, may lose the FSSPX a main supporter in the Curia, where some ranking prelates do not approve of the Pope's rapprochement with the FSSPX.

[Father Z notes that the offices of Ecclesia Dei are located in the CDF building.]


The take-home message I get from Mons. Fellay's visit to the Vatican on Friday - besides it being a sign that a start has been made towards those all-important doctrinal talks - is that German bishops Mueller and Zollitsch had better take back their condemnations of planned new priestly ordinations by the FSSPX.

What could have been a better occasion to 'put Mons. Fellay in his place' if the Vatican opposed the ordinations at all? Because, surely, in the unlikely eventuality that it intended to stop the ordinations, both the Vatican and the FSSPX would have made an announcemnt to that effect - and there would have been a great big howl of protest from the FSSPX!

Let us pray to the Holy Spirit that Benedict XVI's charity aiming to heal the rift with the FSSPX will not go to waste
