Summary
The Vatican issues a stern warning to the Society of St. Pius X, threatening excommunication if they proceed with plans to ordain new bishops without Pope Leos approval. This marks a significant escalation in the long-standing conflict between the society and the Vatican, which has rejected changes from the Second Vatican Council and insists on using the Latin mass. The societys leader, Marcel Lefebvre, was previously excommunicated for the same offense. The Vaticans doctrinal chief, Cardinal Victor Fernandez, has called the planned ordination a grave offense against God. The societys planned July ceremony could lead to a full-blown schism from the Catholic Church. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
