BREAKING: Vatican Permits SSPX To Celebrate Tridentine Mass At St. Peter's

However this unfolds, it appears the Holy See is not only permitting the extraordinary form mass to be celebrated within St. Peter's, but it's actually allowing the SSPX to preside over the celebration.

This comes simultaneously with word that the Vatican has selected it's team to negotiate the terms of full reconciliation with the SSPX. As talks get underway, it appears that Rome is allowing normalization of relations to occur with gestures of good will. This is a very good sign indeed.
