Communique from the Superior General
At the conclusion of the meeting of the major superiors of
the Society of Saint Pius X that was held in Switzerland,
from June 25 to 28, 2016, the Superior General addressed the
following communique:
The purpose of the Society of Saint Pius X is chiefly the
formation of priests, the essential condition for the
renewal of the Church and for the restoration of society.
1. In the great and painful confusion that currently reigns
in the Church, the proclamation of Catholic doctrine
requires the denunciation of errors that have made their way
into it and are unfortunately encouraged by a large number
of pastors, including the Pope himself.
2. The Society of Saint Pius X, in the present state of
grave necessity which gives it the right and duty to
administer spiritual aid to the souls that turn to it, does
not seek primarily a canonical recognition, to which it has
a right as a Catholic work [given the present situation in
the Church]. It has only one desire: faithfully to bring the
light of the bi-millennial Tradition which shows the only
route to follow in this age of darkness in which the cult of
man replaces the worship of God, in society as in the
Church.
3. The "restoration of all things in Christ" intended by
Saint Pius X, following Saint Paul (cf.
Eph. 1:10), cannot happen without the support of a Pope who
concretely favors the return to Sacred Tradition. While
waiting for that blessed day, the Society of Saint Pius X
intends to redouble its efforts to establish and to spread,
with the means that Divine Providence gives to it, the
social reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
4. The Society of Saint Pius X prays and does penance for
the Pope, that he might have the strength to proclaim
Catholic faith and morals in their entirety. In this way he
will hasten the triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary that
we earnestly desire as we approach the centennial of the
apparitions in Fatima.
