NB: The Bishops of the SSPX do not have geographical jurisdication. They are auxillary bishops only. This is an error by LifeSiteNews.

ÊCONE, Switzerland (LifeSiteNews) — The Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) is celebrating the consecrations of four new bishops today, July 1.
Bishops Bernard Fellay of Switzerland and Alfonso de Galarreta of Argentina will preside. The four priests to be consecrated are Fathers Michael Goldade (USA), Pascal Schreiber (Switzerland), Michael Poinsinet de Sivry, and Marc Hanappier (France) to the episcopate.
Despite many requests from the SSPX, the traditional order of priests founded by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre in 1970, Pope Leo has not granted permission for the consecrations to take place.

Historic Catholic convent near St. Patrick’s tomb devastated by ‘deliberate’ fire
Someone set ablaze the former Convent of Mercy in an arson attack on Sunday, according to local authorities,
just hours after a priestly ordination in the adjacent church.
Jun 29, 2026
DOWNPATRICK, Northern Ireland (LifeSiteNews) — The 150-year-old former Convent of Our Lady of Mercy in Northern Ireland was deliberately set on fire Sunday, the local fire department announced.
In a June 29 statement, the Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service (NIFRs) announced that over 70 firefighters from multiple departments had extinguished a massive fire the previous evening at the currently unused Convent of Mercy, which they believe was started through a “deliberate ignition.” The fire was put out before it could reach the adjacent St. Patrick Church, but it badly damaged the former convent’s building.
“Our Firefighters worked tirelessly throughout the duration of the incident to ensure that the fire was brought under control and extinguished,” NIFRs said in its statement.
“We would like to thank the public for their patience whilst we dealt with the incident. “The cause of the fire is believed to have been deliberate ignition, and the incident was dealt with by 10.03am.”
In a statement of its own following the fire, the Downpatrick Family of parishes, which includes St. Patrick’s, expressed gratitude for the firefighters’ efforts to not only extinguish the fire but to stop it from spreading to the church. The parish also lamented the fact that the old convent building was damaged, especially within 24 hours of a priestly ordination taking place inside St. Patrick’s Church.
The church and former convent are located just minutes from the tomb of Ireland’s patron saint, St. Patrick.
“We are relieved that the fire which destroyed the old convent last night was prevented by the heroism and skill of the Northern Ireland Fire Service from reaching St Patrick’s Church. Fire fighters worked through the night to protect St Patrick’s and to them we owe an enormous debt of gratitude,” the parish wrote in a Facebook post.
“Coming at the end of a wonderful day in the life of the parish family – the Ordination to the Priesthood of Fr Thomas Hampton – when the parish came together in a tremendous act of hospitality and welcome, it is particularly sad that so beautiful a building has been destroyed,” they added. “Let us be thankful that no lives were lost. And remind ourselves of the indelible influence for good in Downpatrick of the Mercy Order whose sisters have graced this parish for over 150 years.”

Leo XIV Writes to FSSPX

Yesterday, Leo XIV wrote to the Priestly Fraternity of St. Pius X. He acknowledged the FSSPX's devotion to Tradition, the liturgy, and priestly formation. He begs them to "turn back" from a prospective "schismatic act", warning of its grave consequences while reaffirming the Church's openness to dialogue and reconciliation. The letter:
Quote:To the Reverend Father Davide Pagliarani
Superior General of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X
With a paternal heart, and aware of the responsibility entrusted to me by the Lord as the Successor of the Apostle Peter, I address you and, through you, the bishops, priests, seminarians and faithful connected to the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X.
The Church recognizes the devotion to liturgical life, commitment to priestly formation, apostolic zeal and desire for fidelity to Tradition that characterize many people and communities connected to your Fraternity. This has motivated the attentive and generous attitude that my Predecessors have consistently shown to you.
In this spirit, and filled with Christian affection, I plead with you and ask you with all my heart: please turn back! I urge you to consider carefully the spiritual good of the faithful, because the schismatic act you are about to undertake would deprive them of the licit and, in some cases, even valid reception of the Sacraments, which they love and seek for their sanctification.
The Church is open to a path of dialogue and understanding that the Holy Spirit can make possible and fruitful.
I pray for you, because to tear the seamless garment of Christ is a sin of extreme gravity. May the Lord enlighten your consciences and awaken your hearts. With a sorrowful yet hopeful heart, I feel it is my duty, through the authority received from Christ, to ask you to desist from your intended act. I entrust these intentions to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Mother of Good Counsel.
From the Vatican, 29 June 2026
Solemnity of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul
LEO PP. XIV
