Summary
A secretive Catholic group on Orkney, the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer, has defiantly ordained their own bishop, Father Michael Mary, despite being warned they’ll be excommunicated. Rejecting Pope Leo XIV as legitimate, they follow the Sedevacantist doctrine that no pope has been valid since Pius XII’s death in 1958, claiming recent church changes have corrupted true Catholicism. The ceremony, held despite threats of expulsion, comes amid a grim shadow: one of their monks was found dead at sea after going missing. The Diocese of Aberdeen called the act unlawful and urged Catholics to stay away, warning participants would be cut off from communion. The group sees themselves as defenders of authentic faith against “modernist” corruption — and Father Mary’s bold declaration, “heaven and history will smile upon Papa Stronsay,” signals their unyielding stance.
