Questions Surround Francis’ Decree of Exemption for the FSSP

No official chancel has reported about the existence of the decree, exempting the Fraternity of Saint Peter, from Traditionis Custodes, not the Vatican Press Office, nor VaticanNews.va or L'Osservatore Romano.

IlSismografo (February 22) calls this an “almost clandestine” decree and asks whether this is “a new singular juridical figure.”

For Fabio Battiston (AldoMariaValli.it, February 22) the question arises, if the decree overrules Cardinal De Donatis’ October 2021 decision forbidding the Roman Rite Easter triduum in all Roman churches.

The satisfaction of the FSSP after the decree leaves Battiston “extremely perplexed.” In his opinion, one cannot selfishly rejoice if all the vile things expressed in Traditions custodes "are not intended for the Fraternity." Such an exultation is for him totally out of place.

Joyous. "Momentous" Decision Made by our "Most Kind" Papa Francesco. We Won't be Sent to the Gulag. Like the Rest. Joy to the World!

Frankie Bergoglio is a very tricky boy. This is a mere slight of hand by him. Everything he does is for his Catholic Church destroying agenda, even though prima facie, in this case, it does not seem to be that way.
Let's sit back and see how this all plays out.

Hoe maak je van het Vaticaan een puinhoop. Terug naar het Ware Tridentijnse Rooms Katholieke geloof, zonder het Vaticaan.

Il Simografo - a Vatican-based blog run by Luis Badilla - states that they could not locate the decree by Francis ruling that the FSSP may continue its work in the traditional rite. The Vatican should quickly resolve this uncertainty and confusion.

How did this schmuck get ordained? Was a fellow pedophile rector the way he got in?

@Stronzo Santelli This post is about the FSSP. It has nothing to do with Fr. Martin or child puberty blockers. Go start your own post, don't hijack this one. Yeah, that's right @Cecilia Lopez "this post is about x not y" You were quick to run your big mouth about "misapplication" Is this an example of me doing so? If so, prove it.

Good news for now! However, bullies can only be appeased for so long. Notice that the Fraternity is still under a lot of restrictions.

Fabio Battison's sour grapes are obvious. Once again the FSSP, through God's Grace, passes through the flames unscathed. There's nothing "selfish" about rejoicing in a moment of good sense from Francis. God knows, they're rare enough.
Some small credit should also be given to the diplomatic skills of the FSSP delegates as well. They were respectful, submissive, and even managed to impress an otherwise jaded and cynical Francis with their desire “to remain faithful to the Roman Pontiff.”
He was happy so now the FSSP is happy. The people who are obviously UN-happy with this news are people Like Fabio Battison because misery loves company.
"IlSismografo (February 22) calls this an “almost clandestine” decree..."
That explains why Francis didn't forbid the FSSP publicizing the decree or the publicity photos Francis agreed to while meeting the delegates of the FSSP in the first place. pic related (Credit @en.news)
