IN THIS VIDEO INTERVIEW LINKED BELOW, BISHOP FELLAY EXPLAINS THE SSPX's RELATIONS WITH POPE FRANCIS AND ROME, and HOW THESE RELATIONS HAVE PRODUCED MAJOR COLLABORATIVE OUTCOMES and RECOGNITION FOR SSPX:
1) MARRIAGES: After 10 years of discussions with Rome concerning the Sacrament of Matrimony and the Catholic Church's jurisdiction over same, Bishop Fellay and Pope Francis concluded that the best arrangement for SSPX Marriages was for the Local Ordinaries to delegate the Faculties for Marriage directly to SSPX Priests and that SSPX Priests may offer the Nuptial Masses. A Diocesan Priest is present as a witness of the Vows for the local jurisdiction in which the marriage takes place; while the Marriages are recorded with SSPX.
2) LOCAL ORDINARIES: Bishop Fellay asked Pope Francis what should be done if a Local Ordinary refuses to collaborate with SSPX in this manner concerning Marriages. Pope Francis replied: "Then I will do it!" [provide the delegation]
3) SSPX ORDINATIONS: Bishop Fellay also explained that in 2016, he received a letter from Rome stating: "You can freely ordain your Priests without permission of the Local Ordinary."

"So let us be confident, let us not be unprepared, let us not be outflanked, let us be wise, vigilant, fighting against those who are trying to tear the faith out of our souls and morality out of our hearts, so that we may remain Catholics, remain united to the Blessed Virgin Mary, remain united to the Roman Catholic Church, remain faithful children of the Church."- Abp. Lefebvre
