Minnesota Priest Among SSPX Bishops Excommunicated by Vatican
TL;DR
The Vatican declared excommunication for four priests of the ultraconservative Society of Saint Pius X who were consecrated as bishops against papal authority, including Rev. Michael Goldade from Minnesota. The decree labeled the act schismatic and extended the penalty to adherents and SSPX sacramental acts. The move highlights ongoing tensions between Vatican II reforms and SSPX’s dissent within the Catholic Church.
