De novo a questão dos ex-lefevrianos na Igreja Católica; um novo desenvolvimento é noticiado assim pela Reuters:
French Catholics want loyalty signal from rebels
By Tom Heneghan, Religion Editor
PARIS, Nov 9 (Reuters) - France’s Catholic bishops called on
rebel traditionalists on Thursday to show full loyalty to 1960s
Vatican reforms if they want to return to the Roman fold and
celebrate the old Latin mass with papal approval.
Their message gave official support to a rare clerical
protest spreading across France against the Pope’s reported plan
to readmit the traditionalist Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) to
the Church without requiring their support for the reforms.
In a carefully worded statement the bishops, meeting in the
pilgrimage town of Lourdes in southwestern France, said they
shared with Pope Benedict an attachment to "the riches of the
teaching of the Second Vatican Council".
The row has focused on use of the Tridentine mass in Latin,
which was replaced by updated liturgy in local languages, but
also concerns Council changes such as promoting respect for
Jews, dialogue with other faiths and more say for lay people.
"The liturgical question is not the only source of
difficulties," the bishops said in a message expressing support
for their leader, Cardinal Jean-Pierre Ricard, in negotiations
with the Vatican on readmitting the SSPX.
"The bishops expect from these faithful a gesture of
unequivocal assent to the teaching of the authentic magisterium
of the Church," they said, referring to the Catholic dogmas
updated by the 1962-1965 Second Vatican Council.
