Schismatic Catholic society sees six bishops excommunicated by Pope • FRANCE 24 English

The Vatican has excommunicated six bishops from the ultraconservative Society of St Pius X, while warning that any lay believers who "formally adhere" to the breakaway Catholic group would suffer the same fate. It comes a day after the traditionalist group consecrated four new bishops, openly defying a plea from Pope Leo XIV to desist and exacerbating a rift dating from 1988.
