More stick than carrot, it's impossible to say anything more than that a Paris based paper wants to say something about the Holy Father's intentions, and cast doubt on the possibility of reconciliation. There are quite a few liberal churchmen, and secular types who don't want to see this happen, so it's understandable that they might fabricate reports out of whole cloth. They've done this before, as with Cardinal Schoborn's supposed endorsement for the Medjugorje apparition site.
Paris (kath.net/KNA)
Allegedly, Pope Benedict has no illusions about the reconciliation with he traditional Society of Pius X. This was reported by the French Catholic Weekly "La Vie" and quotes a Cardinal, who is [allegedly] close to Benedict XVI. "The Pope told me, he wants to grasp one last chance to end the Schism, but he doesn't have any illusions," the article in "La Vie" citing the Cardinal was published this Thursday.

Unfortunately, my German is at a kindergarten level; but I've noticed that the French seem to be the most indignant at and resistant to the reform of the reform. Small wonder that their observant Catholic population is well below replacement level....St. Joan of Arc, pray for them!
Actually, Mr. Dante, Traditionalist Catholics in France are quite fecund, and I have no idea what you're trying to suggest.
