Pope Benedict is planning on lifting the excommunication pronounced in 1988 by his predecessor John Paul II against the bishops of the Saint Pius X Fraternity, founded by schismatic bishop Marcel Lefebvre, according to the Italian paper “Il Giornale.”
Pope Benedict will receive in an audience on February 13 at 10h30 the cardinals-heads of dicasteries of the Roman Curie. A reflection on the status of Saint Pius X Fraternity should be on the table that day.
