The traditionalist Catholic group the Society of Saint Pius X has confirmed that the names of new bishops to be consecrated at its seminary in Switzerland on July 1 will be announced in June, as tensions grow with senior Vatican figures over the planned ordinations.
The Society’s Superior General, Davide Pagliarani, and the United States District Superior, John Fullerton, have both approved the forthcoming announcement, according to sources close to the Society. The episcopal consecrations are scheduled to take place at the SSPX international seminary in Écône, the movement’s historic centre.
