Edit: A special announcement is to take place in Germany about the Preamble which will contain new information. The day will also be the anniversary of the death of the Society's former superior, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre who died 21 years ago in 1991.
Tomorrow a public statement will be read from the pulpit in the Priories of the German District of the Society of St. Piux X regarding the state of negotiations with Rome.
(kreu.net) Today the website of the District of the Society of St. Pius X has produced a chronology of the talks with Rome.
The chronicle is an overview of a span of time from the Second Vatican Council to today.
It maintains that the Pastoral Council is supposed to have decided upon a "modernization of the Catholic Church".
For that reason the "Phalanx of the progressives" are supposed to have held sway against the "conservative Conciliar Fathers".
A Sensational Success
The Society of St. Pius X was founded on 1 November 1970 by Bishop François Charrière († 1976) of Freiburg.
The first superior was Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre (+1991). He began with four seminarians.
The Pope Has Never Abrogated the Society
The society was abrogated a year later by the modernistic French Bishops.
The chronicle comments: "Now it states clearly in canon law, that an ecclesiastical society, which has been legitimately erected canonically, can only be abrogated by the Pope himself."
Indeed: "Until the present day, such a Papal abrogation has not taken place."
The Media Bosses Work With False Reports
The chronicle went in detail into the talks between the Society and the Vatican:
"Because of a sermon by the General Superior, Bishop Fellay on the 2nd of February in Winona, there were several media outlets in Germany which premptively described the talks as "broken down"."
The chronicle denies this: "Bishop Fellay broached the issue not of the fundamental relation to Rome, rather of the question, as to how the "Doctrinal Preamble" should be evaluated."
An Answer to an Answer?
As a last event, the chronicle lists the meeting of Msgr Fellay with the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine and the Faith on the 16th of March.
At this even the Prefect explained in a written answer, that the offer of the Society is not sufficient to resolve the dogmatic problems.
On the morning -- of the 25th of March -- a further step will be announced.
"In Germany a word from the pulpit will be read to the faithful in relation to the talks with Rome."
