#Sspx superior general full
Some have emphasized repeatedly that this treasure belongs to the Church, but I think that we can say that it belongs to us also by full right. The Society holds a treasure in its hands.
How do you regard the Society of Saint Pius X which you will have to supervise for twelve years? I must admit- cum grano salis -that I irreparably detest all electronic media without exception and with no chance of changing my opinion, while Bishop Fellay is an expert on that subject. Is there some point about which you really feel different? Some have nevertheless attempted to see your personality as being very different from that of your predecessor. I wish to thank him for that on behalf of everyone. I think that this fidelity of the Society to its mission is in a certain way the reflection of my predecessor’s fidelity to his. During that long period there was no lack of trials, and nevertheless the Society is still here, holding high the standard of Tradition. Let’s say that this time it is a bit more complicated! Bishop Fellay is an important personage in the history of the Society, since he supervised it for half of the time in which it has existed. Someone already asked me a similar question when I was appointed rector of the seminary in La Reja, where two bishops had preceded me in that responsibility. What are your feelings about succeeding him? Father General, you are succeeding a bishop who headed the Society of Saint Pius X for twenty-four years and who, moreover, ordained you a priest.
