FSSPX Bishops Excommunicated - Clergy Declared Schismatic - Confessions Invalid
The Vatican's Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith on July 2 issued a decree excommunicating the six bishops of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX).
The decree also warns clergy and faithful not to adhere to the Fraternity's schism, stating that doing so incurs automatic excommunication.
An accompanying explanatory note says that all attempts since Pope Paul VI to reconcile the movement founded by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre with the Catholic Church have failed.
The recent episcopal consecrations against the will of Pope Leo XIV, it says, "constituted the offense of schism, with the resulting canonical consequences for the sacred ministers and lay faithful involved."
"The sacred ministers belonging to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X are in schism and must therefore be considered schismatics."
Lay faithful who formally adhere to the Fraternity are likewise to be considered schismatics and excommunicated.
The FSSPX clergy administer "the sacraments illicitly": "The …More

Very old argument but stands the test. If St. Paul were here which Mass would he attend? Another old argument but immutable, if you defect from any de fide teachings or deny dogma, you are excommunicated. Mr. Fernandez, Mr. Prevost, Mr. Matteo, Mr. Kennedy your table is ready in the smoking section.

Monday June 29, no change. Today July 2, Mainstream Media is talking schism. Who caused the schism? The pope could easily consent to the consecrations. He did not. His globalist predecessor, removed the automatic excommunication from Marko Rupnik (and gave him a parish) after Rupnik abused nuns. Will the globalist Leo bring the SSPX back into communion or will Leo XIV push his globalist-inspired schism?
The Vatican drops the hammer: • The four new SSPX bishops, along with the two SSPX bishops who consecrated them, are excommunicated. • All SSPX priests are declared "in schism and must therefore be considered schismatics." • All lay faithful "who formally adhere to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X are to be considered schismatics and excommunicated." • SSPX confessions and marriages are declared invalid.

But they have plenty of hummers. They are humming, humming and no clear, unequivocal word emerges.
Let the trio of heretics, who signed this toilet paper, stick it on their foreheads and wear it. Null and void.
According to the Vatican: As of yesterday, not just the SSPX bishops are excommunicated but also *all* those who continue to adhere to the Society. SSPX sacraments of confession and marriage declared invalid; Catholics may not attend SSPX Masses.
An apostate pornographer can’t excommunicate anybody or anything. It’s a sham….the pot calling the kettle black.
Oh.
The situation just returns to 1988 (when it comes to argumentation of both sides on validity of ipso facto excommunication and alleged schism) and - when it comes to blind obedience to whatever people in today Vatican are saying: remains just the same as when post-conciliar pope Paul VI tried to impose NOM and erase the ancient and venerable Roman Rite of the Holy Sacrifice of Mass.
The decree labels all SSPX priests as schismatics subject to excommunication and declares that confessions heard by them and marriages they witness are invalid.
Confessions are always valid by an ordained priest, even if he is excommunicated. It just shows how stupid they are.
Leo's call for unity is all talk and no walk!
The Vatican has officially issued a decree of excommunication to the bishops of the SSPX; +Alfonso de Galarreta, +Bernard Fellay, +Pascal Schreiber, +Michael Goldade, +Michel Poinsinet de Sivry, and +Marc Hanappier. As regards the lay faithful, those who formally adhere to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X are to be considered schismatic and excommunicated.
Now more than ever, I will not only continue to attend the Masses celebrated by the Fraternity and receive the Sacraments it administers, but I will substantially increase my involvement.
