Pope vows to move forward if SSPX pursues illicit ordinations, urges unity despite schism risk

Pope Leo XIV said the traditionalist SSPX’s plan to consecrate new bishops without papal mandate would be a schismatic act and, while he is considering another appeal to keep them in communion, the decision to proceed rests with the SSPX; Vatican officials warned that without papal authorization the ordinations would breach Church law. The pope also voiced guarded optimism about a US-Iran accord meant to end the war and support reconstruction, and discussed his Spain visit, summer plans, and potential future trips to France, Peru and Mexico.

Pope Blesses Gaudí's Sagrada Família Tower, Century in the Making

Pope Leo XIV visited Barcelona to bless the Tower of Jesus Christ at Antoni Gaudí’s Sagrada Família, a milestone in the 144-year construction and a centenary since Gaudí’s death, with the church touted as possibly the world’s tallest. The 18 towers symbolize biblical figures and the façades narrate Jesus’ life; Gaudí’s successors use digital modelling, 3D printing and robotics to continue his work. The Mass, attended by Spain’s King and Queen, included a visit to Gaudí’s tomb and concluded with the tower’s blessing, lights, fireworks and drone displays. The pope praised Gaudí as an architect inspired by faith and noted that the project remains a work in progress, while the Vatican advances Gaudí’s path toward sainthood.
