Cardinal Zen Warns of FSSPX Schism - But “Respect Conscience”
Full text of Cardinal Zen:
The SSPX Case
Friday, 2nd week of Lent
Faced with the SSPX case, it seems that even traditionalists are divided. This is very understandable, as there are two things to consider:
A) Schism must be avoided at all costs, because it will cause serious and lasting damage to the Church; but on the other hand,
B) We must also respect a major problem of conscience: “How can we force someone to follow teachings that clearly deny the Holy Tradition of the Church?”
So, how can the case be resolved?
The SSPX has been sent to dialogue with the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, but is there any hope for this dialogue?
Reading the first reading and the following responsorial psalm from today's Mass, it seems to me that we can see it this way:
Joseph = SSPX
Joseph's brothers = Cardinal Tucho
Ruben = Pope Leo (perhaps with the help of His Excellency Schneider)
“(Joseph's) brothers hated him.”
How can Tucho, who intends to undo the traditions of the Church, not hate the SSPX? He will probably be happy to see them excommunicated!
So is there no hope?
There is Ruben, the good brother!
There is Leo, the good Father!
The unity of God's family is close to his heart! But what if the children do not accept the Council?
Pope Leo is a good listener! He understands and will make his children understand that certain things perpetrated in the name of the so-called “spirit of the Council,” but contrary to the Tradition of the Church, are not of the Council!
And what about the Traditional Latin Mass? It is clearly a mistake to want to eliminate it! The Novus Ordo did not respect the intentions of the Council Fathers (His Excellency Athanasius Schneider has gathered abundant evidence in this regard).
When Pope Benedict speaks of “reform of the reform,” he has admitted the possibility of mutual enrichment between the two forms of the Roman Mass liturgy.
Let us place our trust in Pope Leo, who began [his Wednesday general audience] catechesis on the Council documents, to which we must all return!

News Pope Francis ‘secret decrees’ undermined defendants’ rights in Cdl. Becciu trial, lawyers say …
Here is the other side from the Pillar newsletter
The issue for me is that the court heard, again, the arguments from the defense concerning a now famous set of four rescripts issued by Pope Francis in 2019 and 2020, which essentially authorized the investigation into the Secretariat of State’s London property fiasco and led to the trial and conviction of Cardinal Angelo Becciu and others.
Defense lawyers again argued this week that these rescripts were somehow illegal secret laws which violated the right to due process for the defendants.
Now, I don’t dispute the right of defense lawyers to make what they see as the best case possible for their clients — and I am neither irritated nor surprised if the best argument open to them is, to any informed eyes, legally nonsensical, spurious, and bordering on obvious bad faith.
But what absolutely baffles me is that no one seems to be offering the obvious critique of this nonsense “secret laws” characterization of what Francis did.
For three years I have been writing some iteration of an analysis explaining, over and over, answering this bizarre characterization of what Pope Francis did, which was technically and legally, not only correct and coherent, but normal in the context of any well-functioning justice system.
