Additional quotes by Bernard Fellay

It is clear that Pope Francis wants to let us live and survive. He even said, to those who want to hear him, that he would never harm the Fraternity. He has also said that we are Catholics. He refused to condemn us for schism, saying, ‘They are not schismatics, they are Catholics,’ even though he later used a somewhat enigmatic term, namely that we are on the path towards full communion.

E' chiaro che papa Francesco vuole lasciarci vivere e sopravvivere. Ha perfino detto, a chi lo vuole sentire, che non farebbe mai del male alla Fraternità. Ha anche detto che noi siamo cattolici. Ha rifiutato di condannarci per scisma, dicendo: "non sono scismatici, sono cattolici", anche se dopo ha usato un termine un po’ enigmatico, cioè che noi siamo in cammino verso la piena comunione.
