The Catholic Church’s New Schism The recent consecration of four new bishops by the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) has reignited a long standing debate within the Catholic Church about tradition and authority.
At its core, this is not just a dispute between a fringe group of traditionalists and the Vatican; it's a crisis that speaks to deeper questions about the Church's identity and its ability to adapt.
The SSPX was founded in 1970 by Marcel Lefebvre as a response to what they saw as the erosion of orthodoxy following the Second Vatican Council.
