I hope the commisioner is as thoroughly acquainted with Quo primum as are the friars.
I hope the friars obey the Pope!!
“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.” ~~ Heavenly Father
“I have been given power over all of heaven and earth….” ~~ Jesus
“To you Peter I give the keys… What you bind on earth will be bound in heaven…” ~~Jesus
I don’t understand how any Catholic can misunderstand scripture.
“He who is ignorant of Scripture is ignorant of Christ.” ~~ St. Jerome
I greatly admire the obedience that the FI have shown to the Pope and Commissioner. I know that the great saints all prized obedience, but the first one who always pops into my mind is Padre Pio. Truly traditional! 🙂

The last paragraph in the link submitted above is the only paragraph necessary to remember.
Thank you, Marian, for the link to the article re Quo Primum.
Dear Friars, I hope everything ends well for you all, for your Institute! May St. Padre Pio help you and illuminate Padre Volpi specially.
Cordially, Alex.
The Franciscan charism is a prophetic charism. That St. Francis may help all the Franciscan Friars of all the Francican Orders follow his charism.
amen. Hard times will come but worry not, Christ had overcomed the world, He is with you till the end of time
