SSPX Consecrates Bishops Defying Pope | San Antonio News

In a bold defiance of Pope Leo the Fourteenth, a breakaway group of traditionalist Catholics in Switzerland consecrated four new bishops—ignoring the Pope’s urgent warning that such acts are “a sin of extreme gravity.” The ceremony, held at the Society of St. Pius X seminary in Econe, featured an ancient Latin Mass, a practice the Pope has long condemned. Despite the threat of automatic excommunication and schism, the SSPX insists this move is essential to preserve their sacramental ministry as their leadership ages. They claim they’re not challenging papal authority but responding to a “state of necessity” to serve their faithful—echoing a similar rebellion 38 years ago that also ended in excommunication.
