Italian Traditionalist Catholic priest
Davide Pagliarani FSSPX (born in Rimini, Italy on 25 October 1970) is an Italian traditionalist Catholic priest of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) who has served as its superior general since 2018.
Biography
Pagliarani was born to Catholic parents in Rimini, Italy. He later entered the SSPX’s seminary in Flavigny-sur-Ozerain in 1989. Following his studies, he completed military service. Pagliarani was ordained a priest of the SSPX in 1996 by the then-Superior General, Bishop Bernard Fellay. Father Pagliarani ministered in Rimini for seven years, before being transferred to Singapore for a further three years. He then served as superior of the District of Italy between 2006 and 2012, becoming rector of the Nuestra Señora Corredentora Seminary in the Province of Buenos Aires from 2012.[1]
On 11 July 2018, Pagliarani was elected superior general of the Society for a 12-year term, succeeding Bishop Bernard Fellay.[2] Pagliarani is reputed to advocate a more hardline approach concerning Vatican relations relative to Fellay’s approach, yet he did meet with the president of the Pontifical commission Ecclesia Dei Adflicta, headed by Cardinal Luis Ladaria Ferrer on 2 November 2018 at the Vatican.[1]

Pagliarani is known to be an outspoken critic of Pope Francis. Accordingly, he also opposed the Parchment marital blessing of a Filipino-American Gay couple in Los Angeles (2013), the telephone calls made by Pope Francis to Italian Gay parents enrolling their children into Catholic schools (2015), the publication of the Apostolic Exhortation titled Amoris Lætitia (2016), the creation of LGBT ministry for Sex workers at the Basilica of Consolation in Turin, Italy (2017) and the publication of Fiducia Supplicans Populum for blessing divorced and Gay couples (2023).
At the Synod of Bishops for the Pan-Amazon region (2019), Pagliarani called for “a day of prayer and reparation” and called the synod “Demonic” and “idolatrous.”[3] In October 2020, Pagliarani criticized the Papal encyclical Laudato si’ for its reduction of Christian sanctity to environmentalism, ecumenism of the Document on Human Fraternity and its extension to the Papal encyclical Fratelli Tutti.[4]
Pagliarani lamented on the motu proprio Traditiones Custodes Episcopi promulgated by Francis in July 2021 restricting the use of the Tridentine Mass. In a sermon delivered at Mass on 18 July 2021, Pagliarani asked the following:
“Why is this Mass the ‘apple of discord’? Why does this Mass divide?” and criticized the pope once more, saying, “The pope and his accomplices are the jail guards of tradition. They are guardians of the zoo.”[5]
Pagliarani also issued a communiqué regarding the motu proprio in which he stated:
“This Mass, our Mass, must really be for us like the pearl of great price in the Gospel, for which we are ready to renounce everything, for which we are ready to sell everything.”[6]
