On the neo-SSPX website, they have written about the decree of Pope Francis, dedicating Pentecost Monday to, "Mary, Mother of the Church". They spoke in the positive of this decree and even quoted Archbishop Lefebvre, as if he would be in favor as such.

Traditio website responded to the decree that the notion of, "mother of the Church," as that would imply that Mary, a human being, is above the Church and its divine Founder, Jesus Christ. Also, Traditio said:
"Such a designation violates the Sacred Tradition of the Catholic Church, in that Pentecost Monday is a sacrosanct High Feast unto itself, as a feast of Christ the Lord, and is, to boot, within the Privileged Octave of the First Class of Pentecost. No other feasts are permitted to be celebrated on this day."
