SSPX Schism No. 2: Religious Boogaloo
Now including excommunications not just for the clergy, but for the faithful adherents to the schism!
I don't really have a dog in this fight because at the end of the day it's all just one big LARP, but I'm sort of glad at this direction the SSPX is taking?
It's nice to finally see a reactionary wing of the Church formally be declared schismatic. At least this formal schism leaves no doubt about the SSPX's canonical position in the Church, with no leeway giving them any plausible deniability as to whether they are in or out of the Church.
It's a somewhat satisfying conclusion to the "will they or won't they" that has been going on for the last 17 years since Benedict XVI lifted the excommunications stemming from the 1988 consecrations. At least now they can LARP away in lace without strings attached? Idk lol.
