We adduce one extract, illustrating the character of the new management of the FFI and of their Vatican managers:

(Tornielli) “What is the situation of the Tridentine Mass in the churches administered  by the Franciscans of the Immaculate?  Where will it be celebrated?

(Bruno) Currently the holy mass, the so-called Tridentine, is permitted to the church of La Crosse in Wisconsin(USA) where there is an important colony of Lefebvrites who threaten to attract into their churches also those Catholics who love the extraordinary form.”
