''...natural law, marriage is valid even without a priest, since the sacrament of marriage is administered by the spouses themselves, not the priest. It was the Council of Trent that required the presence of the parish priest for the sacrament to be valid. However, the Church has always recognized, even after the Council of Trent, the validity of marriage in the absence of the priest when a serious physical or moral incapacity prevents the spouses from exchanging their vows in his presence. 33
However, Catholic faithful today very often find themselves in a situation where it would be a serious disadvantage for them to marry before a canonically approved priest who is imbued with false principles. For example, they are attached to Catholic teaching on the hierarchy of the ends of marriage, 34 whereas the Council 35 and the post-conciliar 36 refuse to establish a hierarchy. To remain Catholic, engaged couples want to practice their religion and especially exchange their vows before a priest faithful to faith and morals, particularly in matters of marriage. Their marriage is therefore valid and licit if the vows are exchanged before a priest of the SSPX. 37

Bp Fellay was quite positive about the Marriage Deal back in 2017?.
Is there a subtle shift?
