SSPX Excommunications & the Vatican's Plan to Cancel Catholicism

Category:
Description:

The SSPX consecrated four new bishops on July 1, 2026. The next day, the Vatican declared the bishops excommunicated, reviving one of the most painful controversies in modern Catholic history.

Michael Matt lived through the first SSPX consecrations in 1988. There is no argument over the current consecrations/excommunications which he hasn’t heard—and NO, SSPX faithful and priests are NOT included in the “official” decree—then and now.

In this special commentary, he explains why today's crisis cannot simply be compared to the past (the State of Emergency these days is code red), why endless arguments over canon law miss the larger picture (the entire Law was written to preserve the Faith), and why something like “a matter of conscience” is way more important than you thought it was.

Whether you attend an SSPX chapel, the FSSP, the Institute of Christ the King, a diocesan Latin Mass—or none of the above—this conversation is about something much larger than where you park your car on Sundays.

It is about preserving the Catholic Faith during one of the greatest crises in Church history while refusing to let internal divisions destroy the movement for Tradition.

Topics include:

• The July 2026 SSPX consecrations

• Vatican SSPX excommunications

• The Vatican’s imprecise use of Canonical censure

• The state of necessity

• Canon law vs. conscience

• Why Catholics must "not divide the clans"

If you've been trying to understand what happened—and where faithful Catholics should go from here—this is one of the most important perspectives you'll hear.
