Vatican-SSPX Statement
ncr ^ | October 26, 2009 | EDWARD PENTIN

Posted on 10/26/2009 9:57:11 AM PDT by NYer

The Vatican has now released a statement concerning the meeting this morning between Church officials and the SSPX. It reads:

“On Monday, Oct. 26, 2009, in the Palazzo del Sant’Uffizio, headquarters of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and of the Pontifical Commission ‘Ecclesia Dei,’ the study commission made up of experts from ‘Ecclesia Dei’ and from the Society of St. Pius X held its first meeting, with the aim of examining the doctrinal differences still outstanding between the society and the Apostolic See.

“In a cordial, respectful and constructive climate, the main doctrinal questions were identified. These will be studied in the course of discussions to be held over coming months, probably twice a month. In particular, the questions due to be examined concern the concept of Tradition, the Missal of Paul VI, the interpretation of Vatican Council II in continuity with Catholic doctrinal Tradition, the themes of the unity of the Church and the Catholic principles of ecumenism, the relationship between Christianity and non-Christian religions, and religious freedom. The meeting also served to specify the method and organization of the work.”

I pray that there is rapid progress on there. We need SSPX in a regularized situation ASAP.

Actually, we need Rome in a Catholic situation ASAP. It’s long overdue.

Godspeed. To recognize that all these are pivotal issues for the Church, and not merely in order to reach out to SSPX is in itself a major accomplishment.

Although I am a regular Catholic who attends Mass in the vernacular, I have come to view Vatican II as a trojan horse which nearly allowed the liberals to destroy our Church.

Not a trojan horse, but documents that the liberal had snuck some ambiguous words and wording in at times.
These liberal Bishops, theologians had the most access to the mainstream media and created their own journals which dominated the news and explanation of Vatican II. The Pope
and orthodox had been upstaged...In a nutshell!

Not Vatican II, but the ABUSE of Vatican II or as it is often said, in the "Spirit of Vatican II".
Experiments extended outside control of the magistarium, to the point of absurdity.
