Pope Leo XIV has "decided to follow the '1988 jurisprudence'" with regard to the episcopal consecrations of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) on 1 July, reports Rorate-Caeli.Blogspot.com on 25 April, referring to anonymous Roman sources.
This means: "He is said to have already had a decree prepared that is similar in tone and content to the one promulgated by Pope John Paul II through Cardinal Bernardin Gantin, Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, on 1 July 1988."
The decree would declare the excommunication of the bishops involved, denouncing these episcopal consecrations as a "schismatic act".
Excommunication of entire FSSPX ?
Other Vaticanists have confirmed the core of the rumour.
Niwa Limbu (Catholic Herald) reported on X.com that the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith is "preparing for the possibility of excommunicating the entire FSSPX, not just the bishops".
Nico Spuntoni (Il Giornale) wrote that the Dicastery is "preparing for the possibility of a schism following the ordinations in the FSSPX".
