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".
