I don't know if clericalism is the correct charge here. This decree ensures access to the traditional sacraments for laity who attend parishes served by the FSSP (and seemingly the other Ecclesia Dei groups as well). The divide seems to be between diocesan/Ecclesia Dei not priest/laity.

I certainly sympathize and feel the frustrations of those who only have access to diocesan TLMs as this decree seems to offer them nothing. However, I think anyone who has a vested interest in the traditional mass should be pleased that this seems to allow a possible way forward.
