The Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter is a society of apostolic life of pontifical right whose priests 'work together for a common mission in the Catholic Church, under the authority of the Holy See.'
The FSSP was established on July 18, 1988, as a society of apostolic life of pontifical right by the Holy See, a canonical status that was granted by Pope John Paul II.
In a Feb. 21 publication, the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP) wrote that Pope Francis had met with two members of the society of apostolic life about a week before he promulgated the decree detailing their continued permission to celebrate Mass with the pre-Vatican II 1962 missal.
