In the name of the
Priestly Society of St. Pius X, His Excellency Bishop Fellay,
Superior General, welcomes the accession of Cardinal Joseph
Ratzinger to the Sovereign Pontificate. He sees there a gleam of
hope that we may find a way out of the profound crisis which is
shaking the Catholic Church, of which some aspects have been
spoken of by the former Head for the Congregation for the Doctrine
of the Faith, and quite recently so in his preaching on the
occasion of the Stations of the Cross on Good Friday.
His Excellency
Bishop Fellay implores Our Lord Jesus Christ, Head of the Mystical
Body, that the two-thousand-year-old Tradition of the Church,
forgotten and mistreated during the last forty years, may regain
its place during this Pontificate, and that the traditional Holy
Mass may be re-established in all its rights, without
restrictions. |

Finally, the
Superior General assures the Successor of Peter, Benedict XVI, of
his prayers and those of all the Priestly Society of St. Pius X
for the considerable task which awaits him in order to restore all
things in Christ.
