Pozzo's actions speak louder than words!
[SSPX District USA] We publish here a Le Seignadou editorial by Fr. Michel Simoulin, SSPX chaplain of the Dominicans of Fanjeaux. Fr. Simoulin comments on the behind the scenes denial of the celebration of Mass during the pilgrimage the sisters and their students made last February in Rome, which contradicts the recently assertions made by Archbishop Pozzo of the Ecclesia Dei Commission.
There is Rome…and then there is the Vatican and the Vatican officials, the guardians of the law and of the Temple! Alas, it is not always the same thing! The Vatican of our times very often manifests a spirit that is not the spirit of Rome, that Rome sung by Dante, Dom Gueranger, Louis Veuillot, Fr. Berto, Archbishop Lefebvre…and long before them by the Fathers of the Church: St. Clement of Rome, St. Ignatius of Antioch, St. Irenaeus of Lyon, Tertullian, Origen, St. Cyprian of Carthage…
Good old Corneille proclaimed in his time that “Rome is no longer in Rome; she is wherever I am” (Sertorius, III, I), and we are, alas, obliged to make a distinction between Rome and the Vatican, between what comes from Rome and what comes from the Vatican! And it was to Rome that our sisters led their schools, in thanksgiving and out of fidelity to Rome, under the astonished eyes of the Vatican officials.
Oddly enough, a small noisy group criticized this pilgrimage: it would seem that the children were forced, obliged against their will, forcefully dragged to the feet of the pope…outrageous fees were “extorted” from the parents…in short, meanness vies with stupidity, and those who say these things should take a look at, read and meditate on the accounts given by and about those who participated! When they threw their berets in the air at St. Peter’s Square, it seemed spontaneous and rather joyful to me!

If you are Catholic, those in the Vatican want you far away.
If they wanted to get in a Church, they should have told Vatican Officials they were going to offer Mass for the end to global warming. They then would have been welcomed with smiling faces and open arms.
Sorry, for some reason my posts are doubling.
Yawn who cares about the SSPX/Vatican negotiations?They need to stop being fence riders.Either join the novus ordo or embrace the true catholic faith!! This recognize & resist business is an outdated idea.
This is the most recent OFFICIAL information we have about the SSPX -
"The fact that the Society of Saint Pius X does not possess a canonical status in the Church is not, in the end, based on disciplinary but on doctrinal reasons.
As long as the Society does not have a canonical status in the Church, its ministers do not exercise legitimate ministries in the Church.
There needs to be a distinction, then, between the disciplinary level, which deals with individuals as such, and the doctrinal level, at which ministry and institution are involved.
In order to make this clear once again: until the doctrinal questions are clarified, the Society has no canonical status in the Church, and its ministers – even though they have been freed of the ecclesiastical penalty – do not legitimately exercise any ministry in the Church. " - Pope Benedict, March 10, 2009.

This public statement (quoted) is posted on the Vatican web site.
If/when the status of the SSPX changes, we will be officially notified by the Vatican.
If you are interested in the Extraordinary Form of the Mass (Latin), check out the FSSP web site, or your Diocese web site.
If there is nothing on your Diocese web site, contract them directly for more information.
Thank goodness we have the Vatican statements like this to help us drive through the minefields pitted with legitimate ministers like Cardinal Schönborn, his fellow German bishops, and illegitimate ones like Bishops Fellay or Williamson.
Shoo!
I called the Diocese of Oakland once and they were annoyed I was asking, claimed not to know and weren't interested in finding the information.
Here is a link to the page on the Diocese of Oakland website listing three parishes that offer Mass in the Extraordinary Form. If you have other questions please use the "Contact" option at the bottom of the page and someone will be happy to assist you. http://www.oakdiocese.org/diocese/parish-directory/latin-masses
This wasn't under +Barbar and I can't imagine things have gotten much better under Jesuit leadership.
I'm sure the "liturgies"at the Emerald Palace are simply fab.
Sure, someone would be "happy" to assist me, no doubt.
I ended up going to a horrible liturgy in downtown San Fransicko to fulfill my obligation and went away hungry...
