The new Mass has shortcomings and hides dangers. Of course, not every new Mass is directly scandalous, but the repeated celebration of the new Mass leads to a weak faith and even to its loss. We see how every day there are fewer and fewer priests who still believe in the Real Presence.

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.

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".

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.
