Have at it, folks.

"A final consideration concerns those faithful who for various reasons choose to attend churches officiated by priests of the Fraternity of St Pius X. This Jubilee Year of Mercy excludes no one. From various quarters, several Brother Bishops have told me of their good faith and sacramental practice, combined however with an uneasy situation from the pastoral standpoint. I trust that in the near future solutions may be found to recover full communion with the priests and superiors of the Fraternity. In the meantime, motivated by the need to respond to the good of these faithful, through my own disposition, I establish that those who during the Holy Year of Mercy approach these priests of the Fraternity of St Pius X to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation shall validly and licitly receive the absolution of their sins."

SSPX has always been valid and licit because they've always remained Catholic. The Conciliar church is the one who engages in illicit acts such as the novus ordo sacrilege. Heretics can't grant permission to real Catholics.

A cuckoo "granting" permission to a nightingale.

He "grants" it now and for the "Holy Year of Mercy", which implies that the SSPX priests did not have this power before. By the way, what about the SSPX marriages now, according to the Vatican?

So, he's granting the resistance faculties too!
