Bishop Fellay: We wanted to meet the Holy Father because we are Catholic and, as every Catholic, we are attached to Rome. We wanted to show, in requesting this audience quite simply that we are Catholic.

Pope Pius IX Quartus Supra to the Armenians, January 6, 1873

: “it is as contrary to the divine constitution of the Church as it is to perpetual and constant tradition for anyone to attempt to prove the catholicity of his faith and truly call himself a Catholic when he fails in OBEDIENCE to the Apostolic See.”

*One can't decide whether Fellay is insane or ignorant or both

Would you mind posting a link or something to this? Here's another citation that I'm not sure is part of the actual text. Besides being an encyclical that puts the lie to 'collegiality' it has nothing similar to the situation of LeFebvre and the low grade Popes he had to deal with.
