The Catholic Church’s New Schism
The Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) consecrated four bishops without papal approval in Switzerland, leading to automatic excommunications by the Vatican. The Vatican labeled the act as schismatic, affecting SSPX clergy and potentially affiliated laypeople, marking a significant conflict over traditionalist resistance to post-Vatican II reforms.
