We already speak of the invalidity of many Masses. But to say that all Masses are invalid does not correspond to the line of the Fraternity. This is something we have never said. In our discussions with Rome, we have always emphasised that we recognise the validity of the new Mass, if it is celebrated according to the books and with the intention of doing what the Church is mandated to do. In this regard, a distinction must be made between valid and good.

Additional quotes by Bernard Fellay

The lifting of the excommunication, together with the Motu proprio of Pope Benedict XVI on the old Mass, is an important, truly important sign for our little lifeboat. That is why I speak of joy and satisfaction. Interviewer: Where and when did you learn of the decree? Mgr. Fellay: I learned of it a few days ago in Rome, in the office of a cardinal, Cardinal Castrillon Hoyos, the president of the Ecclesia Dei Commission.

What the Society of Saint Pius X has done since its foundation and will continue to do, it has done and will do solely for the good of the Church. Even the episcopal consecrations of 1988 were done for that purpose: for the good of the Church and for our survival. Archbishop Lefebvre had to, I repeat, had to ensure continuity.

Noi parliamo già dell'invalidità di molte Messe. Ma dire che tutte le Messe sono invalide, non corrisponde alla linea della Fraternità. È una cosa che non abbiamo mai detto. Nella discussione con Roma abbiamo sempre sottolineato di riconoscere la validità della nuova Messa, se è celebrata secondo i libri e l'intenzione di fare ciò che la Chiesa ha il mandato di compiere. Bisogna distinguere a questo riguardo tra valido e buono.
