Bishop
de Galarreta Foresees
"Years of Discussion"
Amidst some well-known talking points, the interview granted by Bishop Alfonso de Galarreta to District magazine Iesus Christus (one
of the four bishops consecrated by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre for the
Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X - FSSPX / SSPX in 1988 and whose
excommunication was lifted by Pope Benedict XVI last January) included
the following:
-What prospects do you see for the Fraternity of Saint Pius X in the future? An agreement with Rome? A canonical recognition?
-[Galarreta:] No, absolutely not, whether in the immediate or in the mediate future. We specifically exclude this possibility. We know that while there is no return to Tradition on the part of Rome, any practical or canonical agreement is incompatible with the public confession and defense of the faith, and would mean our death. In the best of cases, humanly speaking, we will have several years of discussions.
