Sure seems like we might be seeing a deal in the near future.

Anyone paying ANY KIND OF attention to the SSPX/Rome situation should know that the effort (for a reconciliation/practical deal) isn't dead. Not by a long shot.

"I trust that in the near future solutions may be found to recover full communion with the priests and superiors of the Fraternity."

It's going to happen. If I had to bet I would wager regularization would materialize much like this-- that the SSPX is simply accepted, in the words of Bishop Schneider, "as they are" without preconditions.

I think that there will be a high-level token preamble that any Catholic could sign.

Agreed. "As we are" as in "We are Catholic". What happens then? Who knows.

A full reconciliation granted during the "Year of Mercy" as an "act of mercy", no doubt?
