SSPX Excommunicated Church Split | Montpelier News

The Diocese of Ogdensburg is urging Catholics in St. Lawrence County to distance themselves from the Society of St. Pious X, after the group was officially excommunicated by Pope Leo the Fourteenth for consecrating four bishops without papal approval. Bishop Terry LaValley has issued a clear directive: no participation in SSPX activities, including at St. Therese Chapel or their schools. Instead, he’s directing parishioners to St. Mary’s Churches in Potsdam and Evans Mills, and has opened the door for any SSPX priests to return to full communion with the Church. This split marks a major rupture, as the SSPX’s defiance of Rome has severed ties with the See of Peter. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
