Return of the Traditional Latin Mass?

Pope Benedict XVI may consider liberalizing the use of the classical Latin-rite Mass, liturgical rite of Pope St. Pius V (Tridentine-rite), to further efforts in bringing the eastern Orthodox back into the sphere of Rome. Of course that would not be the big reason, but it would certainly help in reconciling with the Orthodox; and maybe even the obstinate SSPX.

"Pope Benedict XVI, able to tell "the tree by its fruits," clearly recognizes the advantage of having more than 500 priests in the SSPX in full communion. He also recognizes the accelerating number of priestly vocations produced in other traditionalist communities like the Fraternal Society of St. Peter (FSSP) and the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest (ICKSP)."

The article goes in depth in the challenges of the Orthodox returning and their concerns of the Novus Ordo Mass. To summarize, we are long way from having our Orthodox brothers to return to the fold and the Novus Ordo Mass is still a work in progress.
