SSPX: ROME HAS SPOKEN
Issues Formal Decree of Excommunication.
(See screenshot of authorized decree below).
Despite the warnings issued to the Superior General of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, Bishop Alfonso de Galarreta—having committed an act of a schismatic nature through the episcopal consecration of four priests without a pontifical mandate and against the will of the Supreme Pontiff—has incurred *ipso facto* the penalties provided for by Canon 1387 and Canon 1364 § 1 of the 2021 Code of Canon Law.
I therefore declare, for all legal purposes, that both the aforementioned Bishop Alfonso de Galarreta and Pascal Schreiber, Michael Goldade, Michel Poinsinet de Sivry, and Marc Hanappier have incurred *ipso facto* the *latae sententiae* excommunication reserved to the Apostolic See.
I further declare that Bishop Bernard Fellay, having participated directly in the liturgical celebration as a co-consecrator—thereby publicly adhering to the schismatic act—has incurred the *latae sententiae* excommunication provided for by Canon 1364 § 1 of the 2021 Code of Canon Law.
Clerics and lay faithful are warned not to adhere to the schism of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, as they would thereby incur *ipso facto* the penalty of *latae sententiae* excommunication.
