Brian Mershon: Bishop Fellay Denies Knowledge of a Motu Proprio Rumour

August 24, 2010—Superior General Bishop Bernard Fellay of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), one of four bishops whose excommunications were lifted by Pope Benedict XVI in January 2009, today categorically denied any knowledge of an alleged special motu proprio being planned by the Holy See for the SSPX as stated recently by SSPX Bishop Richard Williamson. This rumored MP would not require the SSPX to take any sort of oath of acceptance where Vatican II and the New Mass are concerned.

“I’m very annoyed by the whole thing,” said Bishop Fellay. “Bishop Williamson’s statement is an unauthorized statement and is his own personal statement and not that of the Society.”

“It has never been the policy of the Society to base any kind of action or policy on gossip. I have absolutely no knowledge of any motu proprio.”

Bishop Fellay would like to be a Cardinal. He behaves like an autocrat and is a tyrant, whose orders are enforced by his closest cronies. Nobody else gets a look in. Many allege and believe that in his heart he hates Bishop Williamson. If Bishop Fellay is 'very annoyed' then let him swallow it and be nice to others, for a change. He is a temporiser and a compromiser who will sell us all down the Modernist river and will betray the legacy of Archbishop Lefebvre. Kyrie eleison! Jackson of Piccadilly scripsit
