JPSonnen orat pro episcopo Bernardo Fellay, Societatis Sancti Pii X superiore, ut Dominus pacem det Ecclesiae et unitatem cum Beatissimo Papa Benedicto Pp XVI. Oremus omnes! Ut unum sint...
I read the 5 requests that the SSPX adhere to coming from the Vatican. There's no demands to acknowledge either Vatican II, nor the Novus Ordo!!!!! What a big change. Even 10 years ago, Vatican II and the Novus Ordo was still being shoved down everyone's throats by the Vatican, especially in regard to the SSPX. Maybe this non-reference to both of these elements in the Church (which many are now calling disasters....even younger clergy in offices in the Vatican!) is a sign that the very name "Vatican II" and "Novus Ordo" is becoming less a litmus test for loyalty, and more something that is an unconfortable reality that might one day soon just fade away.
I'm a graduate student and tour operator living in Rome, Italy. Life is good. Studium Urbis! P.S. To know history is to be Catholic. P.P.S. Schedule your tour with us while in Rome.

Domine, audi nos.
SSPX don't want union; it's too much fun to always take the moral high ground.
Ut sit.
