There are NO Tridentine masses in my own diocese, or the next closest diocese. I hope this development forces my bishop to provide for one with no recourse except obedience.

It needs to have teeth. Those bishops who obstinantly refuse to provide a tridentine mass according to JPII's wishes, i.e., wide and generous, need to be slapped down hard.

I know two priests here in my diocese learning the Tridentine Mass on their own so that they can offer it as soon as this thing from Rome comes through.

"I know two priests here in my diocese learning the Tridentine Mass on their own so that they can offer it as soon as this thing from Rome comes through."

These priests should know that by preferring the traditional Latin Mass, their chances of promotion are much worse than the prospect of persecution (remembering that none of the priests from the FSSP and Institute of Christ the King have ever become bishops).
Then again, these priests in your diocese are probably more interested in their heavenly home than a career in Rome.
