Undisputed Communion with the Holy See

I watched most of the Mass from the Vatican on the Solemnity of Ss Peter and Paul, Apostles (oh, that reminds me, 3, very small, but they are real, and they are mine, achievements, when all is said and done -- we virtually always sing the prescribed text for the psalm of the day, a majority of people in the sanctuary now bow during the Creed at the mention of the Incarnation, and the cantors for the most part announce the correct and full name of the Mass being celebrated,) and two moments moved me powerfully -- the two deacons, Roman and Orthodox taking the Book of Gospels back not to his own primate (is that the word I want?) but to the other; and the Pope and Patriarch proclaiming the Creed together, in Greek.
Powerful powerful stuff.
And such news on other fronts of the Unity wars! (and it is a war -- but we need to remember, just as in the Liturgy Wars," the enemy, and there IS an enemy, is not other people...) it seems the SSPX has formally asked for any excommunication to be lifted, or so Rorate Coeli reports,

And a smaller and less brokenaway breakaway, declares themselves joyful at their newly unbrokenaway status.

The letter from the Vicar General of the Transalpine Redemptorists is particularly lovely.

undisputed communion!
It is a pearl of great price; a treasure hidden in the field; a sweetness that cannot be imagined by those who have not tasted it or who have not known it, now for many years.
Its value cannot be fully expressed in earthly language and therefore we hope that all traditional priests who have not yet done so, will answer Pope Benedict's call to enjoy the grace of peaceful and undisputed communion with him.
Believe us, the price to pay is nothing; even all the angry voices that have shouted against us and calumniated us are as nothing when weighed in the scales against undisputed communion with the Vicar of Christ;
others have died for it;
what are raucous voices?

And not a complete non sequitur, I think maybe after the last half a century, the Church should be put on notice about little old men who, the conventional wisdom says, are elected as "transition" popes, as place holders to give the organization time to tread water and consider new directions, huh?
Shhhh... don't tell anyone, but my gosh, at this rate I expect to see Irish re-Unification in my lifetime.
And the Yankee fan shall like down with the Red Sox fan....
