One thing is certain if one follows "Roman news." Rumors outnumber news by about 1000-1.
But the rumors can be fun. Here's one that has currency:
... the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith is preparing for the possibility of excommunicating not merely the bishops involved, but the “whole SSPX.” His clarification narrowed that phrase to Society members in holy orders, meaning bishops, priests, and clerics, not the lay faithful who attend SSPX chapels.
