Apostolic Letter "Misericordia et Misera" and the SSPX

(Update - 2030 GMT: The SSPX mention tomorrow, our sources say, will not mention structure - only an extension on confessions. - To be verified.)

Last Friday, the Holy See announced that the Apostolic Letter Misericordia et Misera would be published on Monday -- the Pope signed it today, last day of the Jubilee of Mercy.

Now, many had the intuition, considering the timeframe of the authorization for confessions for SSPX priests (granted last year and ending, supposedly, today), that the Letter would contain something on the SSPX. We can confirm that, at least if no last-minute surprise cones along, that it will indeed contain something regarding the Society of Saint Pius X.

Let us pray, wait, and see.




P.S. For reference purposes, Katholisches.info and 1Peter5 (in English) mentioned this possibility before. Also mentioned in Le Forum Catholique.
