SSPX Consecrates Bishops Despite Papal Warning | Roanoke News

In a bold defiance of Pope Leo the Fourteenth, the Society of St. Pius X is set to consecrate four new bishops this Wednesday in Switzerland, risking automatic excommunication and schism. Despite the Pope’s damning warning calling the act a “sin of extreme gravity,” the traditionalist group stands firm, citing a “state of necessity” to serve their global network of 800 worship sites. Founded to preserve pre-Vatican II traditions, the SSPX has faced excommunication before — yet this time, they’re undeterred, with thousands expected to gather for the ceremony. The Pope’s plea falls on deaf ears as the group insists their actions are not a rejection of papal authority, but a vital step to sustain their ancient rite.
