Bishop Bernard Fellay, head of the traditionalist Society of St. Pius X, has indicated that the SSPX will not agree to a Vatican requirement that they accept the authority of Vatican II teachings, in order to be reconciled to Rome.
Monsignor Fellay is in Rome for meetings to discuss the results of discussions between Vatican and SSPX theologians. Before going, he assured supporters, “If their aim is still to force us to accept the second Vatican Council, the discussions have been clear enough in showing that we have no intention of doing any such thing.”
"There are those who say that up until now, [the Vatican] have always tried to shove the Council down our throats.... All I am saying is: We are moving on. We have our principles, above all faith.... Without faith, God can never love you, so our decision is made. Faith comes first, no matter what; it even comes before recognition by the Church. We need to be strong."
