Benedict XVI on the question of whether Summorum Pontificum was just a concession to the SSPX: "That is simply absolutely wrong! It was important to me that the Church is inwardly united with herself, with her own past; that what she once held sacred is not somehow wrong now."
V.R.S.
"Benedict XVI on the question of whether Summorum Pontificum was just a concession to the SSPX: That is simply absolutely wrong! "

This is true. However, we must remember that philosophically BXVI was very Hegelian. The move was nit to restore the Mass but for "mutual enrichment" in hopes a new liturgy could form from the Mass of Ages and the Novus Ordo.
