The Commission is charged with overseeing the talks between the Holy See and the followers of the late, formally excommunicated, traditionalist Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre (principally, inclined members of the Society of Saint Pius X, now led by Bishop Bernard Fellay).
The speech followed Koch's participation in a meeting of the doctrinal congregation to examine the latest progress in the Vatican's reconciliation talks with the traditionalist Society of Saint Pius X.
The traditionalist Society of Saint Pius X, which is said to have broken from the Roman Catholic Church over "doctrinal difficulties" with the teachings of the Second Vatican Council, is headquartered in Menzingen.
It is one of the six houses for formation for the future priests of The Society of Saint Pius X. The Seminary of Écône was founded in 1970 by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, and his tomb can be found there.
