Memo to Fellay Mignon:
Even though you're French, you're not an Emperor.
Hell, you're not even the Pope.
You're a bishop . . . and a bishop whose consecration was without Apostolic Mandate.
If you think that's no small matter to Pope Benedict XVI, think again.
Anyhow . . . dealing with the SSPX is a little like dealing with the Muslims: no self-criticism and no reciprocity.
I think the Pope has well and truly called their bluff: establish a Religious Institute for those who want to come back and issue a moto proprio regarding the Traditional Mass . . . and then, as a parent to tantrum-prone children, OK - NOW WHAT IS IT?
Bishop Fellay is Swiss, not French.
I can just feel the Christian charity pouring out of you.
He is clearly insane. Lefevbre was just as insane. Schism breeds insanity. It is ineluctable
Taxachusetts Man: As an excommunicated schismatic, Fellay is certainly not the pope. In fact, he and his pretentious followers are not even Catholics. What part of EXCOMMUNICATED do they fail to understand????? Your take on this is sensible.
