Franciscans and Dominicans denied ordinations because of their opposition to the SSPX reconciliation talks with Rome

[Steven J Alderete]

This information is a little older but I thought it was interesting and sad at the same time.  A sign of the times we are in. sja

From an email sent to TrueTrad on 6-26-2012:

"The statement below, cross-verified by Bishop Williamson, has just come from a friend working with the Dominicans in France. 

IT IS OF GRAVE CONCERN! PLEASE TO ST FRANCIS AND ST ANTHONY (THE WONDER WORKER) TO REVERSE THIS DECISION.   

That Bishop Fellay has confirmed in writing that he will not be ordaining any Dominicans or Franciscans at Ecône this coming Friday, 29th June (Feast of Saints Peter and Paul).    

There are three Dominican subdeacons who had been expecting to receive the diaconate at Ecône on Friday, and three Franciscan deacons who thought that they would be ordained to the Sacred Priesthoodthat day.    Bishop Fellay's refusal to perform these six ordinations is, without doubt, because of the opposition he has faced from the religious communities at Avrillé (Dominican) and Morgon (Franciscan) to his planned sell-out of The Society of St Pius X to Conciliar Rome. 

I understand that the ordinations to the priesthood and diaconate of SSPX seminarians, and of religious from Mérigny (Transfiguration) and Bellaigue (Benedictine) will go ahead as planned at Ecône on Friday. 

The preacher at Mass this morning urged those present to pray for the Dominicans who are, naturally, disappointed by this latest turn of events. Let us do as he asked and remember them in our prayers.  Likewise, we should spare a prayer for the Franciscans. 

Let us pray to St. Francis and St. Dominic that this madness comes to an end."

Dear Steven,

Have they all now been ordained(On October 11th) or are there still any of these poor souls waiting?
