Bishop Michael Mary of the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer (FSSR) delivered his first sermon as a bishop on 26 July, the day after his illicit consecration, in which he said he had no papal mandate “because there is no pope”.
Bishop Michael Mary was consecrated at the island monastery of Papa Stronsay by sedevacantist Bishop Pierre Roy, with Bishops Rodrigo Ribeiro da Silva and Fernando Altamira as co-consecrators.
Bishop Hugh Gilbert of Aberdeen announced Bishop Michael Mary had been excommunicated on the same day the consecration took place.
