Vatican Threatens Excommunication for SSPX Bishop Consecrations

The Vatican threatens excommunication for the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) if they proceed with plans to consecrate new bishops without the Popes blessing. The SSPX, known for their large church in Kansas, argues that these new bishops are necessary to ordain priests and maintain their order. The Vaticans doctrine office calls these planned consecrations a schismatic act, automatically leading to excommunication according to Church law. The SSPX, however, remains resolute, stating their actions are about saving souls and theyd rather die than compromise their principles. The situation echoes a similar incident in 1988, though those excommunications were later lifted. The SSPX plans to consecrate four new bishops in July, with their leader, Father Davide Pagliarani, stating theyd rather die than renounce their beliefs. Despite Vatican warnings, the SSPX appears prepared for potential excommunication. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
