Excommunication

The Society of St. Pius X's Bishop Alfonso de Galarreta is seen July 1, 2026, in Econe, Switzerland, during a liturgical service for the consecration of SSPX bishops. Bishop Galarreta, along with Bishop Bernard Fellay of SSPX and four newly consecrated bishops were excommunicated by the Vatican July 2, as the consecration lacked the mandate of the pope and was decreed to be schismatic.
