The Catholic Trumpet | February 27, 2026
“On 29 January 2009, Cardinal Hoyos told the Italian National Daily Corriere Della Sera, “One thing is for sure, full communion will come. In our discussions, Bishop Fellay recognized the Second Vatican Council, he recognized it theologically. Only a few difficulties remain.”
— The Impossible Reconciliation: Documents on Operation Suicide of Bishop Fellay (2000–2013) By Father Olivier Rioult
Dear Reader,
It has been some time since I have published a “blast” from The ☩ Trumpet section of this website, particularly within the THE ARCHIVE † series. What follows may best be described as a hybrid of both: archival documentation combined with present analysis.
Recently, a young faithful Catholic—who labours for the Faith alongside those commonly identified with the True Resistance—remarked to me: “This is not brief!” Today, once again, I will not be brief.
Another remarkable young man (different from the one who wisely advised me to be more succinct), who lives near where my wife and I reside, has recently taken a serious and focused interest in the crisis of Vatican II within the Society of St. Pius X. He possesses an admirable ability to explain complex matters with clarity and brevity—something I continue to work on. If he finds himself reading this, know that I am genuinely proud of your growth.
It was he who visited me and alerted me not only to the contents of The Impossible Reconciliation: Documents on Operation Suicide of Bishop Fellay (2000–2013) by Father Olivier Rioult, but specifically to pages 18–21. In paraphrasing our discussion, he raised a question that struck me with force:
“I wonder if Father Pagliarani did the same thing Bishop Fellay did in 2009 — providing one version of a letter to Modernist Rome and another for the public.”
I sincerely hope that what is outlined here today can be proven entirely wrong, for the implications are grave.:
Quote:“The Church of Christ, therefore, is one and the same forever; those who leave it depart from the will and command of Christ the Lord — leaving the path of salvation they enter on that of perdition. “Whosoever is separated from the Church is united to an adulteress. He has cut himself off from the promises of the Church, and he who leaves the Church of Christ cannot arrive at the rewards of Christ...He who observes not this unity observes not the law of God, holds not the faith of the Father and the Son, clings not to life and salvation.” -POPE LEO XIII [Encyclical Satis Cognitum, June 29, 1896] (St. Augustine, Sermo CCLXVII, no. 4)
With this doctrinal principle before us, we now turn to the documentary record.
On January 8, 2026, The Catholic Trumpet republished the June 4, 2008 letter signed by Darío Castrillón Hoyos, then President of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei, outlining conditions placed upon the Society of St. Pius X as a prerequisite for canonical normalization.
(See: Ecclesia Dei Conditions – June 4, 2008: Ecclesia Dei Conditions – June 4, 2008)
On February 12, 2026, these same conditions discussed by Father Hewko in a video we published to YouTube on February 13, 2026. (Youtube Video: Hermeneutered by Dialogue: The Neo-SSPX Continues Its Tango with the Conciliar Church)
These 2008 conditions were presented as necessary steps for the Society’s “normalization” within the Conciliar Church.
