Father Arnaud Devillers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Very Rev. Arnaud Devillers, FSSP, was the Superior General of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter between 2000 and 2006. Controversially, he was not elected by members of the Fraternity, but was appointed directly by the president of the Ecclesia Dei commission, Cardinal Castrillon Hoyos. The background to his appointment was an argument within the ranks of the fraternity as to whether they should say the New Mass if asked to by their bishop. Father Devillers was seen to be a neutral candidate who was not strongly in favour of either side of the argument. He was the second Superior General after Father Josef Bisig and was succeeded by Father John Berg.
