LOL. The FSSP asked if they could celebrate the Novus Ordo. All the Vatican said was that their superiors could not prevent them from doing so.

The FSSP asked if they could celebrate the Novus Ordo.<>That's pure boulderdash. A couple of liberal French FSSP priest went over their superiors' heads and complained directly to the Vatican. The Vatican intervened on this minority's demands and forced the entire Fraternity to the "novus" rules. When I refer to the Vatican, I am not singling out the Pope; rather I'm referring to the liberal Cardinals who surround him and insist he not acknowledge the right of every priest to celebrate the Tridentine Mass.
