## Resource

The Vatican just excommunicated the ultraconservative Society of St Pius X, cutting off communion for its priests and supporters after they defied papal authority by ordaining bishops without approval. Rejecting Vatican II reforms, the SSPX clings to traditional Latin Mass and rituals, now deemed invalid by Rome. Despite the decree, they’re holding Mass as usual in Cork, drawing a devoted crowd — including many young, non-local faithful. With 1500 clergy and 200,000 followers worldwide, the group shows no sign of backing down, even as tensions rise. Their name honors Pope Pius X, known for modernizing sacraments — a contrast to their rigid stance. Locals still remember the pious legend of Little Nellie of Holy God, a child saint tied to that era.
