" "We have souls to save. The Church is not new. If we follow what the Church has always done, and what the saints have always done, we are assured of being on the safe path to Heaven. In all times, the Church has considered novelties dangerous and the fruit of pride. We might, today, say that there is a sickness for novelty and change. But God does not change. The Faith does not change. The Commandments do not change. Be faithful to what the Church has always taught in her catechisms and you will be assured of being on the right side of this fight for God and His glory.
Bernard Fellay (12 April 1958 –) is a Swiss bishop and former superior general of the Traditionalist Catholic priestly fraternity Society of Saint Pius X.

When Pope Francis was elected, I thought: now comes the excommunication. But it was the opposite: Cardinal Mueller wanted to have us excommunicated, and Pope Francis refused. He told me personally: ‘I will not condemn you.’ Reconciliation will come. Our Mother Church is incredibly divided at the moment. The conservatives want us, and they have said so in the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. The German bishops absolutely do not want us. Rome has to deal with all these elements, we understand that. If we were simply accepted as we are, there would be a war in the Church. There is a fear that we will triumph. The Pope told journalists: ‘I will make sure that it is not a triumph.’
Quando Papa Francesco è stato eletto, ho pensato: adesso arriva la scomunica. Ma è stato l’opposto: il cardinale Mueller voleva ottenere la nostra scomunica, e Papa Francesco si è rifiutato. Mi ha detto personalmente: "Non vi condannerò". La riconciliazione arriverà. La nostra Madre Chiesa al momento è incredibilmente divisa. I conservatori ci vogliono e lo hanno detto anche nella Congregazione per la Dottrina della Fede. I vescovi tedeschi assolutamente non ci vogliono. Roma deve fare i conti con tutti questi elementi, lo capiamo. Se fossimo accettati semplicemente così, ci sarebbe una guerra nella Chiesa. C’è il timore che trionfiamo. Il Papa ha detto ai giornalisti: "Mi assicurerò che non sia un trionfo".
