Schism? Schism today?
Wow, I didn't have "catholic schism" on my 2026 bingo card
Schism today
@heresylog
Just to be clear to anybody, especially in the USA because I know that Catholicism isn't as common there, this is not a cool rebellion against authority. While some traditionalist Catholics are purely interested in ecumenical things like the Latin mass, in the USA a significant portion of the movement for traditionalism is made up of violent antisemites. The "church's understanding of, and relationship with Judaism" they reference here is the idea that all Jews are not solely personally responsible for the death of Jesus
Yeah, so, do you know how unbelievably too conservative you have to be to be excommunicated from the Catholic Church? This isnโt a cute little rebellion against the popeโs authority or a mild disagreement, itโs partially that but more importantly itโs because SSPX is hardline Latin Mass only, no religious freedom, women canโt wear pants, oh, and Jews killed Jesus anti-Vatican II sect. Theyโre the kind of people who HATE the pretty minor changes to Mass and seem to believe in tradition for its own sake. In 1988, they consecrated bishops without the approval of the pope and were excommunicated, only for Pope Benedict 16 (I donโt know the Roman numerals) give them a slap on the wrist and brought them back into the fold for the sake of unity. Decades later, they have the pure audacity to do it again, I suspect they either knew theyโd get excommunicated again and didnโt care or were bold enough to assume theyโd get a different result. Either way, good riddance and I hope they learn their lesson this time.
