The Vatican is not Catholic anymore. Pope has no say about SSPX. The SSPX is more Catholic than the Vatican. Pope Leo 12 is a leader over Vatican only!
The problem is the SSPX regard Vat II and Leo as Pope yet pick and choose as they deem fit. Which goes against all of the Church teachings whether the SSPX deem it just or unjust including that of disciplinary actions.
The only way out was simply for the SSPX to get off the fence which they have not done and declare, Vat II is a false religion, false church, false teachings, Pope and prelates. Declare it an anathema, and cut themselves free from their erroneous standpoint.
This article gives me a lot to consider. So many people have weighed in over the past several days, with various takes and various degrees of seriousness— who knew the internet held so many historians who were also theologians and canon lawyers?
But in all seriousness, this WM Review article is helpful for someone like myself, who is just trying to sort out what to do going forward. I appreciate that the author is treating the situation with the gravity and objectivity it warrants.
Prevost has no more authority to excommunicate anyone than the homeless man yelling on the street corner. Valid catholic bishops are necessary to the mission of the Church, there is no Pope to give a mandate, epikeya applies.
What a joke

Thank you! I am not a historian, theologian or a canon lawyer - just someone trying to present the relevant Catholic doctrine and authorities!
The wrong Bishops are being excommunicated by the Sons of Vatican II.
