Dear Claud,
The article is clearly in error regarding SSPX chapels. However, the article also references other "Catholic" churches where things are considerably murkier, like these folks:
"According to Bishop Sherman R. Mosley, 'legally we are Roman since we were never excommunicated. There never was a bull of excommunication from Rome saying we were.' He added, to avoid confusion, the church uses the name Old Catholic Church of America, (OCCA)."
With some of the other churches mentioned, it's very unclear just what their affiliation might be.
I guess the author - and if he has accurately reported, the archdiocese - has used a rather broad brush, perhaps out of a sense of prudence, not wishing to get layfolks into the habit of discerning between this and that non-Catholic church as to which have a real Mass and which do not.

Thanks for the confirmation--I confess to not knowing what the Old Catholic situation is, but I was pretty confident that attendence at SSPX chapels was frowned upon but not entirely verboten.
The broad brushes DO tend to come out in the chanceries when we are talking about traditionalism. ;)
pinging jrny, for his words of wisdom.
