SSPX PRESS RELEASE:
The General Chapter of the SSPX has elected two additional Assistants General to serve on the Council of the Superior General, Father Davide Pagliarani, in accordance with the common law of the Church.
They are Bishop Bernard Fellay, former Superior General (1994-2018) and Father Franz Schmidberger, former Superior General (1982-1994) and currently Director of the Herz Jesu Seminary in Zaitzkofen (Germany).
Indeed, the creation of these two positions, and the nomination of these two officials to fill them, cannot signify anything else but an intensification of the efforts by the General Chapter to have the Society reach an official agreement with non-converted Rome.
I think it is not far-fetched to believe that these two new positions were, in fact, created especially for these two people [Fellay & Schmidberger], so that they could work "behind-the-scenes" with Roman dignitaries [sic], while having some level of official credibility in the eyes of Rome.
In other words: such a change to the Statutes of the Society is a clear indicator that the General Chapter "means business" with the issue of an agreement with non-converted Rome.... Indeed, instead of listening to the serious and compelling arguments of The Resistance against an agreement with non-converted Rome, the General Chapter has decided to change the Statutes so as to get such an official "recognition" from Rome.
True Catholics, the upshot is that Fellay will remain de facto Chief Tyrant until at least 2030, with Schmidberger as Assistant Tyrant. The Neo-SSPX has taken a giant step into the Novus Ordo swamp. The Neo-SSPX now gets two tyrants instead of one for the next twelve years!
