The National Catholic Reporter portal reports that French Catholics attached to the traditional Latin Mass but loyal to the conciliar hierarchy are mobilizing to welcome the usurper Robert Prevost (“Pope” Leo XIV) to France in September 2026, even as the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) consecrated four bishops without a mandate from the Vatican, prompting the conciliar authorities to declare the group schismatic and excommunicate six of its bishops. Philippe Darantière, president of the Notre-Dame de Chrétienté association, boasts of unprecedented collaboration with the Archdiocese of Paris to organize the antipope’s visit, including a youth vigil at the Stade de France and a Mass at the Place de la Concorde expected to draw 500,000. The Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP), founded to absorb traditionalist clergy into the neo-church, provides the chaplain for the spiritual preparation. Darantière laments the SSPX consecrations as a disturbance to the “delicate balance between tradition and respect for the hierarchy,” hoping for “great goodwill” from the French bishops. This spectacle of rival factions within the conciliar sect fighting over the corpse of Tradition while jointly serving the abomination of desolation exposes the utter bankruptcy of the “recognize-and-resist” and indultist positions alike.
