Toronto Catholics Petition Cardinal Leo to Mediate between Vatican and the FSSPX

More than 140 Catholics residing in the Greater Toronto Area have hand-delivered a letter to Cardinal Frank Leo of Toronto, requesting that he intervene as a mediator between the Vatican and the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX).

The letter was organised by José LoMonaco and his wife. It was submitted this week, according to Newsweek.com on May 29.

Most of the signatories attend FSSPX chapels, though none are formal members of the Fraternity.

The group is asking Cardinal Leo to intervene and get a "paternal approval" from Pope Leo XIV for the FSSPX's upcoming episcopal consecration on July 1.

Cardinal Leo was chosen as the recipient because, as Archbishop of Toronto, he has pastoral responsibility for the signatories and, as a member of the College of Cardinals, has direct access to the Pope.

Neither the Archdiocese of Toronto nor the Holy See Press Office has responded to the petition.
