The "Conservative" Chur Bishop Vitus Huonder, 77, Switzerland, has not received "a mission" from Pope Francis to retire with the Old Rite Society of Saint Pius X (FSSPX), Swiss State-TV SRF (April 10) reported.
Huonder's spokesperson claimed in January that Huonder moves in with the FSSPX in order "establish contacts" between the group and Rome.
According to SRF the Vatican press office has contradicted the spokesperson. Sankt Gallen diocese where Huonder's FSSPX retirement home is located, doesn't know about such a "mission" either.
Huonder is now accused of having used an alleged "mission" as a pretext to justify his moving in with the FSSPX in front of the public.
The most recent rumor is now that Huonder has postponed his move "indefinitely." But this is unlikely as he has already moved part of his belongings into his FSSPX retirement home.
