The above is an exageration, but the Vatican has, IMHO, treated the FSSP rather shabily. They were supposed to get a bishop. They haven't yet. The Vatican has also been intervening in their internal affairs and undermining the authority of their superior in ways that if done to another order would produce outrage.

On the other hand, FSSP priets are not forced to celebrate the Novus Ordo, and they are free to refuse to give communion in the hand.

There's a difference between celebrate and concelebrate.
