The Jesuits permitted it - not the pope.
FSSPX Responds to Cardinal Arborelius: Francis Allowed Confessions and Marriages
Pope Francis did give SSPX the faculty to hear confessions legally and validly, because it does not contradict Canon Law. There have always been exceptional circumstances or instances of necessity in which the Church recognizes as valid and licit the reception of sacraments from priests who may be immoral, schismatic, irreligious, laicized, or even non-Catholic, provided their denominations have sacramental confessions.
Canon 844 §2. Whenever necessity requires it or true spiritual advantage suggests it, and provided that danger of error or of indifferentism is avoided, the Christian faithful for whom it is physically or morally impossible to approach a Catholic minister are permitted to receive the sacraments of penance, Eucharist, and anointing of the sick from non-Catholic ministers in whose Churches these sacraments are valid.
Canon 976 Even though a priest lacks the faculty to hear confessions, he absolves validly and licitly any penitents whatsoever in danger of death from any censures and sins, even if an approved priest is present.
While Pope Francis' gesture of mercy shows an important precedent -- for the good of souls, the Church has the power to grant faculties even to priests who are not in good standing -- it is nevertheless NOT AN APPROVAL OF THEM - not an approval of SSPX, or their situation.
About the SSPX faculty to officiate in Catholic weddings (Letter from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith dated March 27, 2017). It states that with the diocese's permission, an SSPX priest may officiate in a Catholic wedding but only if there is no diocesan or religious priest available, and the documents must be forwarded to the diocesan curia. It should be remembered, too, that in the sacrament of matrimony, the ministers are the couple themselves. A priest is only there to witness for the Church and receive the couple's consent.
Other than those limited faculties, the sacraments of the SSPX, although valid, are not recognized by the Church because, as Pope Benedict XVI writes, the Society has no canonical status and no legitimate ministry in the Church.
Swiss Bishop: Financial and Data Monopolies Steering Apocalyptic Course, Wars to Impose New World Order
Quote from Aux. Bishop Emmeritus Eleganti (above):
"- Paradoxically, all these forces have one thing in common: the Antichrist as their father. He has many guises, which he constantly changes. However, he has only one enemy: Christianity — more precisely, the Catholic Church."
He did say, "the Catholic Church."
Il Tempo: Francis Has Died In Elevator
Correct. Thank you SonoftheChurch. The way this fake story is told, you'd think the nurse was alone with the Pope when the latter was near death and there was no other person within hearing distance that the nurse could call for help. I'd like to think there might be a priest or two in an adjacent room or out in the hallway, praying and ready to give Francis the last rites and/or give a hand in transporting him. Francis had been bedridden for weeks and surely, with all the priests around him, he must have received the sacraments a few hours before he passed.
Chartres Bishop Introduces Novus Ordo to Pentecost Pilgrimage
How do you know the clergy is communist. And who gives you the authority to charge them with heresy? How did you determine the heresy? What heresy is it?
Chartres Bishop Introduces Novus Ordo to Pentecost Pilgrimage
It's the Bishop of Chartres that wants to introduce the Novus Ordo to the Pentecost Pilgrimage, and he is the authority to do so.
Chartres Bishop Introduces Novus Ordo to Pentecost Pilgrimage
Are you of a higher authority than the Pope? Pope Benedict says the NO is another form of the Latin (Roman) Rite, the Ordinary Form. The TLM is the Extraordinary Form. He says so in his motu proprio, "Summorum Pontificum." Read it - you may yet learn something.
Chartres Bishop Introduces Novus Ordo to Pentecost Pilgrimage
The NO is a legitimate and valid Mass. How could you say Pope Pius V forbade the NO when there was no NO in his time? Pope Paul VI decreed NO and Pope Benedict XVI designated it as the Ordinary Form of the Latin Rite. They were all popes with the same authority, so both forms of Mass are legal and valid.
Chartres Bishop Introduces Novus Ordo to Pentecost Pilgrimage
The Novus Ordo is the Roman Rite in the Ordinary Form. ("Summorum Pontificum" motu proprio, Benedict XVI, 7/7/2007.) It can be celebrated using its original Latin text. There shouldn't be any problem.
Steve Bannon Predicted Election of Cardinal Prevost: Ideologically Like Francis, But Better Organized
There was a time when people said there will never be a US pope because it would appear like Americans paid for him. Now you're saying the Vatican gave us a US pope and it wants us to pay for him. We really have no choice, do we?
Steve Bannon Predicted Election of Cardinal Prevost: Ideologically Like Francis, But Better Organized
So, the "campaign" was rigged; but the election was fair and square? He was elected, wasn't he?
The Faithful Mother Was Central Force Behind Robert Prevost's Vocation
Leo's mother had a college degree, married late (mid-30s) to a man eight years her junior, and gave birth to three boys. Canon212 calls her "slippery." Why?
Archbishop Gänswein: Francis' Arbitrariness Is Over
He was Pope Benedict XVI's secretary.

"Oath of Secrecy": A Spanish Website Knows the Details
Thank you, SonoftheChurch! God bless you.
Vatican Suppresses Another Roman Mass in a Cathedral
It will be a relocation, not a suppression. It has happened in Santa Rosa diocese before. It moved a TLM from the Holy Family Mission in Rutherford to St. Joan of Arc Parish in Yountville. So, don't panic.
Nihilism: Tucho Begins an "Anglican Dialogue" Without Canterbury
Thank you, SonoftheChurch. Very often, in discussions such as this, we forget that it's Jesus who owns the Church and He will not abandon her. Very often, Christ is not even mentioned in our discussions. Thanks again and God bless you.
