Pope Francis has fully regularized the Society of St Pius X (SSPX), James Bogle, the ex-president of Una Voce International, told Gloria.tv (video below).
Bogle stressed that the SSPX and the sacraments administrated by them, including marriages and confessions, have been formally recognized by Francis. The Society is also allowed to ordain to the priesthood whomever they see fit.
Francis further appointed SSPX Bishop Bernard Fellay as a judge at the Rota Romana, the highest appellate tribunal of the Church, thus recognizing his authority.
"I don't see how much more regular you can get than that," Bogle concludes. He acknowledges, however, that there are a lot of intolerant bishops who still treat the SSPX as if it were irregular.
To them, Bogle answers that those who do not like the integration of the SSPX "better have the argument with Pope Francis."

Bishop Fellay told me himself in May 2015 and I confirmed it with the Rota.
You seem to be saying here that Bishop Fellay has now been one of the judges ("Uditori") of the Rota Romana for over four years. Have I understood you correctly?

No. He has been appointed by Pope Francis a first instance tribunal judge to handle SSPX cases. The very great significance of this is that it means the Pope recognises SSPX marriages since, if he did not, he could not appoint Bishop Fellay (or anyone) to preside, as a judge, over SSPX matrimonial cases. If the marriages were never valid in the first place then there would be nothing to judge or …More
