IMO, if they accept Francis' "year of mercy", they will have to sign the agreement before the start (8th December). Give 2-3 weeks!

Why?

Perhaps because if they don't, Francis might remove their faculties to hear confessions?

I don't think it's open for debate whether this was worth posting. 4,000 votes say "Yes". I think the traffic to this thread has already confirmed and vindicated my gut feeling that this was important news.

If you aren't interested until I can produce a picture of Bishop Fellay signing a deal with Rome with a notary's seal on the bottom, well... What can I say? Feel free to browse other threads that do interest you.

People vote with their clicks "what's worthwhile" and what constitutes interesting news.

No one is forcing anyone to follow this news story. Feel free to ignore it, go look at cat jokes on the Internet, or whatever suits your fancy. It's a free country (err...at least it used to be).

UPDATE:

I decided that I edited too much from point #3. I realized that I accidentally edited out some quite important content:

3. F. Franz Schmidberger, currently head of the seminary at Zaitzkofen, has told a layman that Menzingen has now the proposal on the table and that it will only take a short while that all will be settled with Rome. They only have to solve a "few minor issues".

That is a phrase that will drop from usage. Here is another common phrase that will drop from usage: "Is the Pope Catholic?"

At least the bear is still in the woods.

Something for Bp. Fellay to consider: if Francis manages to change Church teaching, under the guise of 'pastoral practice,' then what will keep the SSPX priests (if they reconcile) from being forced to give Holy Communion to anyone who approaches the altar, such as the divorced and remarried, homo, and other living-in-sin Catholics? I've no doubt that Francis will try to allow these unrepentant Catholics to receive communion, if he can possibly find a way to do so.

Or reject the speedy 45 days annulments?
