The Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei has published the following communication
concerning the Society of St. Pius X:
"The text of the response of Bishop Bernard
Fellay, Superior General of the Priestly Society of Saint Pius X, as had been requested
at the meeting of 16 March 2012, was received by the Congregation of the Doctrine
of the Faith on 17 April 2012. The text will be examined by the Dicastery and then
submitted to the judgement of the Holy Father.
Fr. Federico Lombardi, head
of the Vatican Press Office, said that, with the latest response, “steps forward have
been taken, that is to say, that the response, the new response, is rather encouraging.
But there are still developments that will be made, and examined, and decisions which
should be taken in the next few weeks.”
