Above: Bishop Tissier de Mallerais blessing the faithful.
Back on September 30, the SSPX released this news about Biship Tissier de Mallerais:
We ask for prayers for H.E. Bishop Tissier de Mallerais.
On the morning of Saturday 28 September, after the Angelus, he fell on the stairs of the seminary in Ecône and lost consciousness. He is currently in hospital.
He suffered a fractured skull accompanied by internal haemorrhaging, but his condition has stabilised.
He is gradually coming out of the induced coma in which he had been placed, and his prognosis is no longer life-threatening.
Although still unable to communicate, he is responding quite encouragingly to medical requests.
Further tests are under way to determine the extent of the damage. Hospital staff are optimistic, but his condition remains serious, and the consequences of the trauma uncertain.
We thank all the faithful for their prayers for this intention.
Now last Friday the SSPX announced that the good bishops appears to be on his death bed:
Unfortunately, the news about Bishop Tissier de Mallerais is not good.
His Lordship has still not regained consciousness, and this is worrying, as it is now five days since the doctors stopped the sedatives.
The evolution of the situation is in the hands of Divine Providence.
Prayers are needed more than ever.
This situation indeed looks grim for the good bishop, yet not with the eyes of Faith. Let us say some prayers for the bishop today, and if he is to die, let us pray that he may die the good death of a Catholic.
Precious in the sight of the Lord, is the death of his saints (Ps. cxv. 15).
