✣ SSPX claims Francis is encouraging error


What happened?

The society of St Pius X (SSPX) accused Pope Francis of spreading confusion and errors about the faith. A statement from the group said: “A great and painful confusion that currently reigns in the Church ... requires the denunciation of errors that have made their way into it and are unfortunately encouraged by a large number of pastors, including the Pope himself.” It appears that attempts at reconciliation with Rome have stalled, and that the Society is divided over next steps.
