This marks the first major test for Pope Leo XIV, who’s striving to heal divisions with traditionalist factions. Founded in 1975 by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre to resist Vatican II reforms, the SSPX has grown into a global, ultra-traditionalist network despite past excommunications. Though Pope Francis previously granted some concessions to the group, Pope Leo may now reverse those gestures in response to this defiant act, sending a clear message about the limits of autonomy within the Church.
