Vatican City, Feb 21, 2013 \/ 07:56 am (CNA\/EWTN News<\/a>).- The effort to reach an agreement between the Church and the Society of St. Pius X will be passed on to the next Pope, Father Federico Lombardi said.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cAn important point is that these days people have spoken about a deadline for Pius X priests and a conclusion to the situation. The Pope is confiding the decision to the next Pope, and no conclusion will be made on this date,\u201d said Fr. Lombardi, the director of the Vatican press office.<\/p>\n

\tArchbishop Gerhard L. Muller, the head of the Vatican doctrine office, originally set Feb. 22 as a deadline for the Society of St. Pius X to reach a decision about accepting a doctrinal preamble that was sent to the society.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cThe purpose of dialogue is to overcome difficulties in the interpretation of the Second Vatican Council,\u201d Archbishop Muller told CNA July 20, \u201cbut we cannot negotiate on revealed faith, that is impossible. An Ecumenical Council, according to the Catholic faith, is always the supreme teaching authority of the Church.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThe document contains a set of doctrinal statements that the breakaway group would have had to accept to establish a framework for full reconciliation.<\/p>\n

\tAll indications seemed to be pointing toward the Pius X Society rejecting the agreement.
\n\tThe society has had a strained relationship with the Vatican since its founder, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, consecrated four bishops against the orders of Pope John Paul II in 1988.<\/p>\n

\tArchbishop Lefebvre founded the society in 1970 as a response to what he described as errors that had crept into the Catholic Church following the Second Vatican Council.<\/p>\n

\tIn 2009, Pope Benedict remitted the excommunications of the Society\u2019s bishops and set talks in motion aimed at restoring \u201cfull communion.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tIn May 2012 the Vatican began discussions with Bishop Bernard Fellay, the superior general of the society, and said that it would establish separate talks with the other three bishops.<\/p>\n
