The Vatican has not officially announced apostolic visitations to the Old Rite communities, “but we have received this information from sources we consider reliable,” Father Benoit Paul-Joseph, the Superior of the French District of the Fraternity of St. Peter, told FamilleChrétienne.fr.
He stressed that such visitations are “normal” because those institutes were attached to a new congregation, but he added,
“What worries us is the unofficial and unverified information according to which it is possible that, prior to these visitations, admissions to our seminaries and novitiates will be suspended.”
This, according to Paul-Joseph, would imply that these are “visitations against us,” a “form of aggression,” which prove “that we are presumed guilty.” The Fraternity would take this with “great incomprehension.”
Paul-Joseph revealed that “we don't really have an interlocutor in Rome, and we don't know whom to contact” – while Francis is calling and receiving random people and pontificating about “dialogue.”

Well someone needs to remove the mask of secrecy.
Its been overdue for centuries but I digress...
Holy Spirit, cleanse Your Church, and send us good and faithful shepherds.
