Ultra-conservative Catholic group defies Pope Leo, ordains bishops and faces excommunication
An ultra-conservative Catholic group, the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), defied Pope Leo by ordaining four bishops in Switzerland without his consent, leading to automatic excommunication. This act, declared a "sacred duty" by the SSPX, risks a schism and poses a significant challenge to Pope Leo's leadership, who had prioritized church unity.
