Bishop Schneider Appeals to Pope Leo XIV to Build a Bridge with the SSPX

This appears to be another historic battle in the ongoing spiritual war in the life of the Church.

May Our Lord shower even more His people with His graces of wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety and fear of the Lord.

@justjeff Do you know the answer to my question: "When were the names of the priests Archbishop Lefebvre consecrated bishops in 1988 first known to the public?"?

[justjeff]

I did not, but from the link you provided, it sounds like that would have been June 13,1988, though it doesn't specifically state that it was made public then.

On "June 13 [1988] [...] the four candidates appeared together at Ecône"; they were:...

From an answer to an AI query it sounds like the priests to be consecrated as their newest bishops will be announced this June.

@justjeff Thanks for reminding me to interlibrary-loan  « La conférence de presse de Mgr Lefebvre », 15 juin 1988, Fideliter hors série, 29-30 juin 1988, mentioned passim in Sel de la terre «Les sacres épiscopaux de 1988 Étude théologique (II).» It would be good to have the full-text of the press conference.

Update: It's available on FSSPX.org: "Conférences de Mgr Lefebvre - 15 juin 1988". ++Lefebvre doesn't mention the names of the candidates.

Fr. Pagliarani announced the names of the candidates today:

• Fr. Pascal Schreiber, 🇨🇭, 53 years old, Herz Jesu Seminary (🇩🇪) rector;
• Fr. Michael Goldade, 🇺🇸, 45, St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary (STAS) (🇺🇸) rector;
• Fr. Michel Poinsinet de Sivry, 🇫🇷, 42, superior of the Benelux (🇫🇷) district;
• Fr. Marc Hanappier, 🇫🇷, 36, STAS (🇺🇸) metaphysics and dogmatic theology professor.

All good choices, being lifelong SSPXers.
