Pope Leo XIV declares SSPX schism after bishops consecrated without papal mandate

Jesuit theologian Fr. Marek Blaza praises Pope Leo XIV's decisive response to the SSPX consecrating bishops without a papal mandate, calling it an act of courage. He argues the Vatican had no room to simply overlook the act, and that the schism declaration was the only possible outcome. The pope, previously seen as dialogue-oriented, showed he had lost patience with the traditionalist group.
