Dopo le consacrazioni di Écône resta una ferita nella Chiesa

Ecclesia 04_07_2026

Scenari e conseguenze del rito compiuto il 1° luglio dalla Fraternità San Pio X. Una vicenda che anche tra i "non lefebvriani" mostra una (in)comprensione emotiva dell'appartenenza alla Chiesa, dimenticando che molti scismi sono nati col pretesto di difendere la fede. Dalla diretta video con Luisella Scrosati e Nico Spuntoni.

Ècône: scomunica ai vescovi, per gli altri c'è ma non si vede

Scomunicati latae sententiae i neo-vescovi e i loro consacratori, la posizione di preti e fedeli è invece affidata a una Nota (poco) esplicativa che lascia aperto più di un dubbio. Resta però chiaro che i sacramenti amministrati dalla Fraternità San Pio X sono illeciti ed è pertanto proibito accostarvisi.

LA ENTREVISTA

El cisma se ha consumado, habla Müller: “De la Fraternidad surge una herejía en la práctica”

Se consuma el cisma de la Fraternidad San Pío X. Entrevista al cardenal Müller, que deja grandes reflexiones: “Pido una respuesta teológica a los errores que denotan una herejía en la práctica”; “Hay que acoger a quienes se marchen, suprimir la Ecclesia Dei fue un error”; “Hay ideología en el Traditionis custodes, es necesaria una cierta solicitud pastoral para con el mundo tradicional”.

Müller: ‘A de facto heresy on the part of the FSSPX’

The schism within the Society of St. Pius X is taking place. Interview with Cardinal Müller: “I ask for a theological response to the errors that constitute heresy in practice”; “Welcome those who leave”; “Abolishing Ecclesia Dei was a mistake”; “There is ideology in Traditionis custodes; tradition needs pastoral care.”

Scisma compiuto, Müller: «Dalla Fraternità un'eresia nella prassi»

Si compie lo scisma della Fraternità San Pio X. Intervista al cardinal Müller: «Chiedo una risposta teologica agli errori che denotano un'eresia nella prassi»; «Accogliere chi uscirà, sopprimere l'Ecclesia Dei fu sbagliato»; «C'è ideologia nel Traditionis custodes, la tradizione ha bisogno di sollecitudine pastorale».

Vescovi consacrati a Écône, uno strappo contro la Tradizione

I quattro candidati della Fraternità San Pio X hanno ricevuto la consacrazione episcopale senza mandato pontificio, al posto del quale è stata letta una giustificazione dell'atto scismatico. Ma è lo stesso rito celebrato ieri a mostrare le falle teologiche di un episcopato che pretende di riconoscere il primato petrino solo a parole. Pretesa bocciata già dal beato Pio IX.

Rome and St Pius X: the stages of an agreement that was always rejected

Almost-reached agreements and sudden U-turns characterised the thirty-year rift between the Fraternity founded by Archbishop Lefebvre and the Holy See. This is a story that needs to be retraced in order to better understand the 'Lefebvrian phenomenon' and the problematic nature of its positions.

Double rejection: Lefebvrians reject Rome's proposals
THE STATEMENT

Double rejection: Lefebvrians reject Rome's proposals

No U-turn from the Society of Saint Pius X after the Holy See's request to suspend episcopal ordinations and resume theological dialogue. Don Pagliarani criticises Müller for the failure of past talks and tries to ingratiate himself with Fernández by leveraging the “todos, todos, todos”

CONTROVERSY

Freedom outside the Church — the Lefebvrians real goal

Approve the announced episcopal ordinations, but without granting them any canonical status. Don Pagliarani's request to the Pope shows that it is not Rome that refuses to regularise the Society of Saint Pius X, but rather the latter that claims to save souls outside the Mystical Body of Christ.

A second breakaway will see five new Lefebvrian bishops ordained

Episcopal ordinations without a papal mandate, as in 1988. On 1 July, the Society of Saint Pius X will repeat Archbishop Lefebvre's gesture, this time ordaining an additional bishop.The Holy See has expressed its willingness to continue dialogue in order to avoid a new rupture.

Viganò and Lefebvrians, the illusion of a Tradition without Church

Canonical trial for the former nuncio, while the Fraternity founded by Mgr Lefebvre announces the illicit consecration of new bishops. But going beyond legitimate criticism of ecclesiastical authorities leads to schism. And it is not the solution.

The "state of necessity" alone does not legitimise the SSPX

Some clarification on the (deficient) presuppositions that 'Lefebvrian' priests invoke in support of their ministry without missio canonica. Moreover, it is the SSPX that refuses to enter the Church.

SSPX ministry of priests is illegitimate, here’s why

Benedict XVI had made it clear: without doctrinal clarification there is no canonical status for the Fraternity and no ministerial legitimacy. The point to understand is that the essence of the Church is at stake here.

Lefebvrians: excommunication lifted but schism stands

Monsignor Lefebvre's episcopal appointments are illegitimate in all respects. The excommunication lifted by Benedict XVI was aimed at paving the way for reconciliation, but does not cancel the schism. In the same way it was for the Orthodox.

Frustrated by Rome, following the Lefebvrians is not the solution

Many faithful now attend the chapels of the St Pius X Priestly Fraternity, much like castaways in search of dry land, due to the serious crisis being experienced in the Church. But this is a mistake and stems from the confusion surrounding the real status of the Lefebvrians.  The Daily Compass explains where the problems lie in a series of four instalments.

REFLECTION

God, not man will save the Church

When confronted with the drift of the Church, there is a temptation to find refuge. But in the hour of the Passion Jesus did not teach to rebel, but to pray and watch. That is why we remain in the Church, which is Christ's, even accepting to die with her.
