SSPX-Schism Theater: Conciliar Antipopes and Lefebvrist Pretenders Expose the Vacant See
The National Catholic Register (EWTN) portal reports on July 10, 2026, that the structures occupying the Vatican, under the antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost), declared automatic excommunication on July 2 against six prelates of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) for unauthorized episcopal consecrations performed July 1 at Écône, Switzerland. In response, conciliar “bishops” Michael Burbidge (Arlington), John Iffert (Covington), and Manuel Rodríguez (Palm Beach) issued decrees forbidding Catholics from attending SSPX Masses, declaring their sacraments “illicit” or “invalid,” and ordering children withdrawn from SSPX schools. This theatrical exchange of anathemas between two schismatic sects—the conciliar neo-church and the Lefebvrist resistance—lays bare the reality of the vacant See of Peter since 1958, proving that neither the usurpers in the Vatican nor their controlled opposition in Écône possess any jurisdiction whatsoever.
