In my serch of different news websites, I came acroos this article dealing with the St Pius X Society being regularized. St. Pius X Story [ catholicnewsagency.com] In IC XC, Father Anthony+
Everyone baptized into Christ should pass progressively through all the stages of Christ's own life, for in baptism he receives the power so to progress, and through the commandments he can discover and learn how to accomplish such progression. - Saint Gregory of Sinai

Father Anthony, The rumor mill is always a'churnin' in Traditional Catholic circles, so beware!  I think we should all pray that the Society and Rome make the best decisions possible, and that those pesky Sedevacantists keep their meddlesome antics away from this. They're always trying to cause division within the Society so as to draw more people to themselves. It seems they love division. Logos Teen

Dear LT,
The link I provided is from the Catholic News Agency, not an off site rumor mill.

If that schism can be ended it'll be a good day for our Roman Catholic brethren.

Father Anthony,
My apologies, I should've read the article. I read an article earlier today about the SSPX meeting in Flavigny, France that's taking place either today and tomorrow or tomorrow and the next day. The article I read speculated that this meeting will concern regularization of the Society.
That's what I'm referring to as the rumor mill. We actually don't know if the meeting will deal with this issue at all, but a lot of people in TradLat circles are already opining about things to which they're not privy.
Anyway, should be interesting when we finally do find out what the meeting concerns!

I wonder what the author had in mind for the Society of St Josephat when the St Pius X people sorted out the terms for their possible union with the Catholic Church.

Anytime a schism may be healed, all we can do is pray and thank God for it. So start praying!

The current Fraternal Society of St. Peter (FSSP) was initially organized by former SSPX priests who came back to the Catholic Church and approved by the late Pope John Paul II and is currently the only priestly organization celebrating the TLM in various parishes throughout the world without the usual indult from the Ecclesia Dei Commission.
According to the CNA article linked by Fr. Anthony, the SSPX will seek from Rome its charism as either a Personal Apostolic Administration directly under the Pope like what the Campos, Brazil branch of the SSPX did a few years ago OR as a personal prelature of the Pope ala Opus Dei.
Either way, the role and place of the SSPX will be attuned to the general order of things in the Catholic Church. (I wonder what will the interaction be between the FSSP and the SSPX!)
At any rate, the CNA article was careful to point out that this is NOT (yet) official and it was only a draft proposal prepared by a priestmonk of the SSPX on the way things should be if and when the SSPX officially decides to return to the fold.
I add my prayer for this to happen soon!

Dear Friends,
It is good if they could finally be made regular.
I've thought they have been constipated on a number of levels long enough . . .

It will be interesting to see what the agreed opinion of Vatican II is. This Pope is committed to its authentic implementation, and the SSPX can neither dispute it exists nor refuse individual parts of a Catholic Council.
I'll withold any judgement until I see the document from Rome acknowledging the reunion. But the Moleben of Thanksgiving will be sung in our home if it does comes to pass, regardless if one or all four SSPX bishops accept, or if 7 or 70% of the faithful go with the union.

This is a quote from an SSPX priest speaking on condition of anonymity on another Internet forum: "The 'summit' meeting of the religious orders associated with the Society has nothing to do with a definitive 'deal' which is 'in the works.' The meeting of the General Council is nothing out of the ordinary: they meet regularly to advise the Superior General, as is their duty and right according to the Statutes. If anyone wonders why there are so many meetings coming up, let them remember that we have a General Chapter coming up in July. This is a significant event in the life of the Society, happening only once every 12 years, and it requires a great deal of consultation and preparation.
"As a final note, let all the people who are so concerned about the Society's imminent 'betrayal' spend their time praying for its Superiors rather than in forming judgments which they have no basis to form and posting equally baseless messages to internet fora."

I wonder what the author had in mind for the Society of St Josephat when the St Pius X people sorted out the terms for their possible union with the Catholic Church. I believe that most of the Roman Bishops in charge of the negociations with the SSPX are unaware of the Eastern presence there, and if they are, they will try not to mention it. I don't think there will be a deal as it's clear that the National Churches deeply oppose any attempt from Rome to grant freedom to Old-Rite christians to develop freely as their own power and financial viability would be in danger. For example, last week in Ukraine there was a protest by progressive UGCC clergy led by their bishop (Igor Vosniak) against the SSPX followers in Ukraine who insist on keeping Western practices while, the same group in Russia, led by former Suzdalites, is unbashedly pro-Russian, Orthodox in practice, etc. There's a lot of politics going on there. Anyways, if the SSPX accepts a deal with Rome that puts Old-Rite priests under the local bishops, it will jeopardize the legitimacy of their resistance.
