Antipope Leo XIV’s Mock Excommunication of Lefebvrian Usurpers Exposes Double Schism
The Vatican News portal (July 2, 2026) reports that the “Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith,” headed by the “Cardinal” Víctor Manuel Fernández, issued a decree declaring *latae sententiae* excommunication reserved to the “Apostolic See” against the “bishops” of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) — Alfonso de Galarreta, Bernard Fellay, and four newly “consecrated” priests — for the “schismatic act” of episcopal consecrations at Écône on July 1, 2026, performed without “pontifical mandate” and against the will of “Pope” Leo XIV (Robert Prevost). The decree, countersigned by the Dicastery “Secretaries,” threatens the “lay faithful” formally adhering to the Fraternity with the same censure and declares their confessions and marriages invalid. This farcical exchange of anathemas between two factions of the great apostasy — the Modernist occupiers of the Vatican and the Lefebvrian schismatics who recognize them as legitimate — exposes the total collapse of jurisdiction in the *abomination of desolation* occupying the Holy Place.
