Tridentine Mass Universalized?

The rumours are flying around the blogsphere in the wee hours of the morning. Apparently BXVI has approved the universal use of the Tridentine Mass. If this is the case, the local Bishop will no longer have to give permission to priests to celebrate the Mass of the the Pope St Pius X Missal.

This is, apparently (and no suprise), that this is part of BXVI's attempt to bring into communion the SSPX. It will be interesting to see what their reaction to this is, if indeed the Pope has approved the missal for universal use.

Thanks to Amy Welborn at Open Book for the info on this.
