The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) has confirmed that Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández will meet the group's Superior General in Rome next week, days after the traditionalist society announced plans to consecrate new bishops without a papal mandate.
The meeting, scheduled for February 12 at the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, follows a formal approach made by Cardinal Fernández to Fr Davide Pagliarani after the Society revealed its intention to proceed with episcopal consecrations on July 1. The FSSPX announced on February 5 that its Superior General had accepted the Vatican’s proposal for talks and called on its faithful to pray “for the good outcome of this meeting”.
