WDTPRS >> The Holy See’s 5 conditions for the SSPX - my comments and a prayer

Reactions to the "conditions" given to the SSPX abound on the internet. Fr. John Zuhlsdorf has a good commentary on this issue, and more than this, he identifies the critical issue upon which all else rests, viz., "Who is Peter in the Church?" If this cannot be agreed upon, further discussion would seem useless. I reprint Fr. Zuhlsdorf's prayer. It is perfect.

O God, our common Father who knows us better than ourselves,
pour graces through the Holy Spirit into the hearts of the members of the SSPX
to bend what is rigid and warm what is cold,
that in union with the Vicar of Christ,
to whom Your Son our Lord gave His own authority to bind and to loose
and whom He gave as a gift to the Church as a visible point of unity,
we may together in ecclesial charity strive in grace and zeal to renew
Your people in our Holy Catholic Church.
