Well, it appears that a priest may celebrate the Tridentine Mass with a celebret from the Commission. However, it still holds that a priest may not set up his own chapel, outside the jurisdiction of the bishop.

This exception is mainly for older priests to celebrate the Mass of 1962 in private.

For any interested -a Vatican statement more recent than "Religiosorum Institutio" the 1961 document. Relevant article I read a while ago:

Clear Vatican Statement against Ordination of Homosexuals

-excerpt:

VATICAN, Dec 5, 02 (CWNews.com) -- A leading Vatican official has confirmed the Church's position that men with homosexual tendencies should not be ordained.

In a letter dated May 16, 2002, Cardinal Jorge Medina Estevez-- who was, at the time, the prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship-- said: "Ordination to the diaconate or priesthood of persons with homosexual tendencies is absolutely unadvisable and imprudent, and from a pastoral point of view, extremely risky." The letter by Cardinal Medina Estevez, which was a response to a query from a bishop, has now been published in the November-December edition of a bulletin put out by the Congregation for Divine Worship.
