Defying Pope Leo XIV and risking schism, traditionalists go ahead with Latin Mass consecrations

Consecrating a bishop without the pope’s consent amounts to a schismatic act, or an intentional rupture of the unity of the Catholic Church.
On June 30, 2026, Pope Leo XIV urged the Society to abandon its plan to ordain bishops without Vatican approval, warning it would lead to automatic excommunication. Founded in 1970 in Econe by French bishop Marcel Lefebvre, the Society of Saint Pius X categorically rejects the changes in the Church since the Second Vatican Council.
