Well, if you insist on a response, here's what I had written up.
Obviously the SSPX does not think that the TLM has been suppressed, as I noted: I have excised the SSPX arguments opposing it, which one can read in the book if he so wishes. If you are referring to the SSPX argument based upon the "Quo Primum" indult which you cite, Michael Davies and Count Capponi state, in the article "The Legal Status of the Tridentine Mass": "A strong case can be made that the new legislation of Pope Paul VI obrogated Quo Primum, and this could even include the perpetual privilege." Therefore the SSPX argument that Quo Primum's indult was never derogated is invalid. The problem with the "immemorial custom" that Davies and Capponi is that there's no reason to suppose that it stops at the 1962 MR - the old rite was updated until 1967, with the Prayers for the Faithful, removal of the Last Gospel, etc. There is also a Notification from the Sacred Congregation for Rites which rejects "immemorial custom" with an abrogatory "notwithstanding" clause.

Cardinal Stickler and Cardinal Oddi are not SSPX. Both have stated the results of JPII's commission many times in different places. I believe Cardinal Ratzinger did also and if I find a quote from him I'll post it.

I'm sorry you don't like the sources. It doesn't change the truth.

Michael Davies himself stated Paul VI never officially promulgated the Novus Ordo anywhere in the apostolic document despite the inference of the title.
