The Vatican body aimed at keeping traditional Catholics united with the Successor of Peter looks likely to be suppressed, but sources suggest it could actually be a positive development.

This is the latest effort by the Church to bring the traditionalist Society of St. Pius X into full communion.
Holy Father has given diocesan bishops, or other local ordinaries, the authorization to grant priests of the Society of St. Pius X the ability to licitly and validly celebrate the marriages.
Francis also writes of new World Day of the Poor in new apostolic letter, Misericordia et Misera.
Reconciliation between the SSPX and Rome still appears some way off, but those looking to the Society to come to the Church's aid is increasing, according to Bishop Fellay.
In a wide-ranging interview with the Register, the leader of the traditionalist priestly society details how Pope Francis has opened the door to the SSPX’s full integration with the Church.
COMMENTARY: There are a few canonical ambiguities in the Holy Father’s letter that need clarifications so that his desires can be implemented appropriately.
