“We thank Pope Benedict XVI for his acts of justice and charity that have made available the Traditional Mass of the Church and withdrawn the decree of excommunication.

Extract from Bishop Fellay's Paris Conference: [January 8th - 10th, 2010]

... [These are] extremely delicate theological discussions; [there are] a lot of preconceived ideas [a priori]. We can see very well that we are not at all known... there are all sorts of ideas about us.

...The boat is sinking; humanly speaking, the Church is lost; humanly speaking, the Church is not recovering— notice that I say, humanly speaking, for we know that there are the promises of God, so that she is going to recover. How is she going to recover? We may say that it is in the hands of the good Lord, agreed! But the good Lord asks everyone to act according to his strength and capabilities, in his place, for this recovery. We cannot say that the pope has only to do this or that. It is every member of the Church who must, once again, at his place, according to his powers, according to the grace of the good Lord, do everything he can for the Church's restoration. Everybody must contribute his efforts—everybody. So let us make this effort precisely by our prayers, by our sacrifices, by all the means that truly give life to the Church. The means that the good Lord commonly uses to restore and uplift the Church is called holiness. It is the life of grace; it is faith. It is absolutely certain that every good action within the Church uplifts the Church. The greater the goodness of the act, the more the Church is uplifted.

...The good Lord doesn't need numbers, but He does need holiness... He asks us for it, and I should say that this battle, these terrible, horrible difficulties that we have briefly outlined, should be for us a stimulant, a real stimulant towards holiness — let's dare to use the word, it is a very Catholic word... That will be the best way we can contribute, collaborate, and co-operate in helping to bring about an end to the crisis in the Church.
