That's good news. A chapel I know of here in Florida is in conversations with the diocese, but the diocese is unwilling to give them any guarantees, and there have been other chapels that seem to have been absorbed by dioceses basically in order to disband them. It's a pretty frightening prospect.
I don't think Fr. Perricone would permit it, either, and hopefully the Bishop is an honorable man and is not considering it.
Can you give any example of a reconciled independent chapel that has been disolved?
