BREAKING: Cardinal Fernández says today's mtg with the SSPX’s Superior General Fr Pagliarani was “cordial & sincere”

Continued dialogue between them will only take place if the SSPX “suspends” its July 1 decision for new bishops.

They discussed “plurality of religions” (Abu Dhabi text) along with “the difference between an act of faith & 'religious submission of mind a&nd will,' or the different degrees of adherence required by the various texts of the Second Vatican Council & its interpretation.”

Holy See repeated consecrating bishops without a mandate “would imply a decisive rupture of ecclesial communion (schism) with grave consequences for the Fraternity as a whole”
