Eponymous Flower Right Again: Register Confirms What We Were Saying All Along

Edit: as usual we were right, or at least we had better, more credible sources, and we bothered to care and not have a hysterical meltdown, or show our confirmation bias. Maybe you prefer to get your news from the Catholic Snooze Network, or demi-Catholic sources like Crux.

[Edward Pentin, NCR] Archbishop Guido Pozzo, the Vatican’s point-man for regularizing the Society of St. Pius X, has reaffirmed that the Society is continuing dialogue with the Holy See.

In an interview with Vatican Radio's Italian edition on Friday, the Secretary for the Pontifical Commission "Ecclesia Dei" said a statement the Society issued last week was not a step back from dialogue, nor did the priestly fraternity say anything new about its view of the current situation in the Church.

But he made clear that although the Society said in its statement that canonical recognition is not a priority, for the Vatican it is an “essential condition” if the SSPX is to come into “full ecclesiastical communion” with the Holy See.

Sources told the Register last week that the Synod on the Family and other confusing signals from Rome led to the Society's statement, but that the SSPX still very much hopes for regularization.
