The Society of St Pius X has issued an open letter and a lengthy declaration of faith addressed to Pope Leo XIV and the College of Cardinals, days before an extraordinary consistory at the Vatican and one week before the traditionalist priestly society plans to consecrate bishops without papal approval.
The documents, published June 24, present the SSPX’s position as a public reaffirmation of Catholic tradition at a moment of heightened tension with Rome. The declaration, titled Profession of Catholic Faith of the Society of St Pius X to Enlighten Souls in the Face of Modern Errors, sets out 154 statements on Catholic doctrine, including divine revelation, tradition, the sacraments, the Virgin Mary, the Mass, ecumenism and the social reign of Christ.
