Kokx News – BREAKING: Viganò Urges SSPX To Cut Off ‘Dialogue’ With Fernandez, Proceed With Consecrations

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has issued a statement responding to a press release issued earlier today by Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernandez.>After noting the “pain and indignation” he felt while reading Fernandez’s communique — which demanded the SSPX abandon plans for consecrations on July 1 — His Excellency urged the Society to reject “dialogue” that “assumes that the Second Vatican Council is compatible with Tradition” and to follow in the footsteps of its founder.>“The Society of Saint Pius X does not need the permission of those who have abjured the Faith in order to accomplish what Providence asks of it, namely: to perpetuate the episcopal line faithful to Tradition,” Viganò commented Thursday evening. “True ecclesial communion is not measured by canonical recognition granted by a Hierarchy that has lost the Faith, but by integral fidelity to divine Revelation.”

Kokx News – Bishop Williamson On SSPX-Rome ‘Dialogue’

Editor’s note: We present below a Letter From The Rector written by His Excellency Bishop Richard Williamson in May 2003 whilst he was stationed at the SSPX’s US seminary in Minnesota. With news that Cardinal Fernandez is demanding the Society stop its planned July 1 consecrations in exchange for more “dialogue,” His Excellency’s writings on the subject are more pertinent than ever.

Radical Fidelity – Synodal Rome Demands SSPX Suspends Decision to Continue with Episcopal Consecrations

And so the ecclesial drama of the year got underway in all earnestness earlier today, with Cardinal Victor Manuel “Heal-me-with-your-mouth” Fernández making the first demand on behalf of the Modernist cabal occupying Rome.>In a statement released by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, headed by Fernández, it is said that “a cordial and sincere meeting took place at the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith between the Prefect, His Eminence Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández, and the Superior General of the SSPX, Rev. D. Davide Pagliarani, with the approval of the Holy Father Leo XIV.”>The Dicastery’s statement warns that episcopal consecrations without papal mandate would constitute a decisive rupture in ecclesial communion and carry grave canonical consequences.

Following his 1976 ordination of seminarians against Vatican prohibitions, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre was declared ‘suspended a divinis.’ Here is his response:>

Editors’ Notes

The following text is a translation of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre’s reflections following his 1976 suspension a divinis.>This is part of our wider examination of Lefebvre’s comments in the post-conciliar period. This study has become even more relevant since the 2 February 2026 announcement of further episcopal consecrations, to take place in July 2026. The responses to this announcement – both those positive and negative – have generally betrayed a serious lack of awareness of what Archbishop Lefebvre said and did following Vatican II.

Radical Fidelity – Why the German Synodal Conference’s Latest Anti-Catholic Decision Should Not Be Dismissed as Isolated Extremism

“Cardinal” Reinhard Marx.

An article which appeared on Infovaticana earlier this week, reports that the German Synodal Conference has approved the creation of a new lunatic mechanism intended to monitor how bishops implement resolutions arising from the German Synodal Path.>According to the report, dioceses would be required to document which synodal decisions have or have not been implemented, and bishops would need to explain themselves before the Synodal Conference.>The vote approving this mechanism was controversial: only 21 bishops voted in favor out of 47 present, and the procedure reportedly counted abstentions as not affecting the two-thirds threshold, raising concerns about the legitimacy of the result. Even Cardinal Reinhard Marx is said to have objected strongly, rejecting the idea of an oversight structure that could function as a “higher authority” over diocesan bishops.
