flag The SSPX plans unapproved bishop ordinations on July 1, 2026, risking excommunication due to ongoing disputes with the Vatican.

flag The Society of Saint Pius X, a traditionalist Catholic group with about 600,000 followers worldwide, plans to ordain new bishops on July 1, 2026, without approval from Pope Leo XIV, risking automatic excommunication. flag The move, driven by longstanding tensions over liturgical reforms and the group’s rejection of the Second Vatican Council, follows failed diplomatic efforts despite a Vatican offer of dialogue on February 12. flag The SSPX, based in Switzerland, argues it needs more bishops to serve its growing membership in France, Germany, and the U.S., but the ordinations without papal consent are seen as schismatic.
