A reader writes to me:
«Excellent news. I am very happy that Leo XIV has met with such good men as Burke, Sarah, Schneider, Zen, and now Father Bisig and Father Berg.
Official statement from the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter – Fribourg, January 20, 2026
Following a request submitted by the Superior General of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter, Pope Leo XIV received Father John Berg in private audience at the Vatican on Monday, January 19, 2026. He was accompanied by Father Josef Bisig, one of the founders of the Fraternity, former Superior General, and current Rector of the Seminary of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Denton, USA.
The cordial half-hour meeting was an opportunity to present to the Holy Father in greater detail the foundation and history of the Fraternity, as well as the various forms of apostolate it offers to the faithful for nearly 38 years. They reiterated the appropriate law and charism that guide the sanctification of its members.
This audience also provided the opportunity to evoke any misunderstandings and obstacles that the Fraternity encounters in certain places and to answer the questions of the Supreme Pontiff. At the end of this meeting, Pope Leo XIV gave his blessing, which he extended to all members of the Fraternity.
The Fraternity of Saint Peter thanks the Holy Father for offering this opportunity to meet with him and encourages the faithful to continue praying fervently during the thirty-day novena of preparation for the renewal of their consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on February 11.»
This also seems like excellent news to me and it makes me very happy.
