(I spell rumour with a u cus I’m Canadian. It’s not a mistake 😛 )

From Fr. Z:

"I received a tip via e-mail.

Before reading this, I am getting it second hand and also I have no way to get separate confirmation. So, we have to take this for what it is worth. It’s up to you.

Here is one sentence of the three sentence message I edited it to fix the English:

I´m back from Econe. I spoke with some people. Rome has accepted a response and wrote back positively. All is going well … this was said by Castrillon."

Keep on praying, folks. This may not be over.
 
I saw that too. It may not be over yet. I will offer my Rosary today for God’s will to be done in this situation.
 
Bishop Fellay knows what he is doing.

Rome and the SSPX seem to be more civil, clear headed, and just than most of the bomb throwers out there.

The negotiations contine.

Tough pill to swallow for all the SSPX haters who were hoping for formal schism and every heresy to be thrown at the traditional Catholic group.
 
“Accepting a Response” is a far cry from “Accepting the Terms” of said response.

If you sign for a certified letter, you have “accepted” the letter. It does not mean that you accept the terms of the contents thereof.

A traffic citation carries the statement “I understand that my signature is not an admission of guilt”.

Perhaps some folks are getting ahead of themselves here.
 
Please all, just keep praying for reunification and healing within Holy Mother Church. Think of and pray the parable of the Good Shepherd.
Prayers & blessings
Deacon Ed B

For whatever it is worth, I notice the OP does say the following (bold for my emphasis):
Rome has accepted a response and wrote back positively. All is going well … this was said by Castrillon."

Like Deacon Ed said, we need to keep praying.

Right on Deacon, I’m with you! The SSPX could be such a major, positive force “within” Holy Mother Church. They could be the new Jesuits. I really believe that. I hope and pray that they come home very soon. We need them, ALL OF THEM.

In the meantime, I will pray.
 
I hate to further contribute to something that can not be verified but a close friend of mine who belongs to the SSPX left me a message that the SSPX bishop has a meeting scheduled with the Pope this week. I hope it is not in appropriate to post something so vague. If so please accept my apologies.
 
It’s really sad to me that folks could make this so political.

I will continue to pray that the Church is once again unified, and that it doesn’t stop with the SSPX.

No, this is a rumour thread - it’s perfectly appropriate. 😛

This is good news, if true.
 
Father Z just posted another e-mail he received confirming what he heard yesterday. This is what he said:
No sooner do I get back from Mass but… one of my spies, a very reliable person whom I trust, sends me this:
E-mail:
I have heard from a source who has first-hand information that Cardinal Castrillon is happy with the answer from Bishop Fellay and has sent him a brief note in response.

I have also heard that the Cardinal will pass on the letter to His Holiness.

So behind the scenes it actually looks much brighter than the impression given by liberal press or some of the … SSPX bishops.

Time will tell, but there may be something to this.

I don’t want to sound bad here so I hope I don’t.

Why is it ethelzguy that you really seem not to want a reconciliation between the SSPX and Rome and I observed that you seem hostile to Traditionalism as a whole.

First question - Why?
Second if you don’t like Traditional Catholics why not post somewhere other then in Traditional Sub-Forum?

If I’m wrong I am sorry

To keep with the OP it sounds hopeful, pray pray pray.
 
I hope these rumors are true. I find it a bit puzzling that there may be a positive response when Fellay has made comments that almost everyone–including EWTN and Reuters–saw as tantamount to rejection.

What I would like to see, is a reconciliation that would bring home souls that are in irregular standing. What I would like to see, is a reconciliation that would let the rest of the world see in no uncertain terms, that the Holy Father does indeed lead the Catholic Church.

As I have stated repeatedly in numerous threads, I have no problem with tradtional Catholicism. I consider myself a tradtional Catholic. What I don’t “like” is the constant “holier/smarter than the Pope” arrogant nonsense, like denigrating the post Vatican II Church, and the OF/NO Mass…which over time will become tradition itself…or the most recent nonsensical comments to the effect that bringing the SSPX back into the fold is going to somehow ‘straighten out the floundering Church’.

That is the typical liberal media which jumps to conclusions, and slams traditional Catholicism.
 
I’m optomistic. I believe that eventually it will happen.

If the FSSP can be allowed, and if the absolutely heterodox people that argue for other Gods can be allowed, it’d be insane that the SSPX be considered “outside.”

No matter what happens, most Catholics will continue to sleep in on Sundays, for the foreseeable future.
