The FSSP

We are always being subjected to hearsay about the Pope's intentions with S.P. but in his own explanation about his motive for S.P. it sounds depressingly familar.

On a flight to France....


Fr Federico Lombardi, S.J., Director of the Holy See Press Office: What do you say to those who, in France, fear that the 'Motu proprio' Summorum Pontificum signals a step backwards from the great insights of the Second Vatican Council? How can you reassure them?


Benedict XVI: Their fear is unfounded, for this 'Motu Proprio' is merely an act of tolerance, with a pastoral aim, for those people who were brought up with this liturgy, who love it, are familiar with it and want to live with this liturgy. They form a small group, because this presupposes a schooling in Latin, a training in a certain culture. Yet for these people, to have the love and tolerance to let them live with this liturgy seems to me a normal requirement of the faith and pastoral concern of any Bishop of our Church. There is no opposition between the liturgy renewed by the Second Vatican Council and this liturgy.

On each day [of the Council], the Council Fathers celebrated Mass in accordance with the ancient rite and, at the same time, they conceived of a natural development for the liturgy within the whole of this century, for the liturgy is a living reality that develops but, in its development, retains its identity. Thus, there are certainly different accents, but nevertheless [there remains] a fundamental identity that excludes a contradiction, an opposition between the renewed liturgy and the previous liturgy. In any case, I believe that there is an opportunity for the enrichment of both parties. On the one hand the friends of the old liturgy can and must know the new saints, the new prefaces of the liturgy, etc . . . . On the other, the new liturgy places greater emphasis on common participation, but it is not merely an assembly of a certain community, but rather always an act of the universal Church in communion with all believers of all times, and an act of worship. In this sense, it seems to me that there is a mutual enrichment, and it is clear that the renewed liturgy is the ordinary liturgy of our time.

It's been 35 years since The FSSP was formed and Anne Roche Muggweridge was quoted as saying that owing to the FFSP splitting from the SSPX they were promised a Bishop.

Whether that quote is accurate or not, when will the FSSP see a Bishop devoted to them and their cause of Liturgical Tradition?

I say, never.

I tried to post this at The new Liturgical Movement but they are not too keen on dealing with reality when it comes to the authentic Rite
