Vatican vs SSPX: a dispute about Church's nature, not just liturgy

The excommunications imposed on clergy and faithful of the Society of Saint Pius X stem not only from the illicit consecration of bishops without papal approval. At the heart of the conflict between the Vatican and Écône lies a disagreement about the nature of the Church, its doctrinal infallibility and where Christ's truth resides. The dispute thus has far deeper theological roots than the question of liturgical form.
