Catholic World News: The Forum: What next for the Vatican-SSPX talks?

Phil Lawler of Catholic World News posts a very good roundup of where things now stand as far as anyone can determine who is not on the "inside." Personally, I have not stopped praying that the request of the Holy Father for normalization will occur. I am presuming the time-honored maxim whether accurate or not: "those who know aren't speaking, and those who are speaking don't really know."

May God grant us reconciliation, and may Bishop Fellay respond in a favorable way to a simple request from the Vicar of Christ.
