Una Voce Asks Leo XIV for Concessions - in View of the FSSPX’s Consecrations
They write about the announcement: "Our ardent wish, shared by many Catholics of goodwill, is for the canonical regularisation of the FSSPX, which would enable its many good works to bear the greatest possible fruit. This announcement indicates that this outcome is a more distant prospect than it has seemed for many years."
The group shares the FSSPX's goal of making the Church's ancient liturgy available as widely as possible.
Their main claim: "We know many Catholics able to attend the Traditional Mass with all the necessary permissions from the Church’s hierarchy, such that it is not necessary for them to seek it in any irregular context.
We also know, however, that for others, attending the Traditional Mass has been made very difficult: in some places, this is despite the desire of qualified priests to celebrate it for the faithful, and even the willingness of the local bishop to allow this. This creates an environment in which the SSPX argument of a ‘state of emergency’ gains sympathy."
Una Voce urges the bishops and Pope Leo XIV "to be mindful of these pastoral realities, which are currently precipitating a crisis whose consequences are impossible to foresee".
Their summary: "The time to act is now."
