What’s happening in the Vatican 🇻🇦 today?
The Vatican is currently focused on both its global diplomatic efforts and managing a recent major schism.
Pope Leo XIV is spending time resting at the summer residence in Castel Gandolfo, while the Holy See recently decreed the excommunication of the breakaway Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) following unauthorized bishop ordinations in Switzerland.
Here is the latest from Vatican City:
The SSPX Schism:
The Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith formally decreed latae sententiae excommunication on July 2 against the bishops of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X. This grave canonical sanction applies to those who carried out the episcopal ordinations without a pontifical mandate.
Global Outreach:
Pope Leo has continued his international focus, issuing a video message to the annual Iraqi Christian Youth Meeting in Ankawa and addressing the AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva.
Papal Activities:
The Pope has been staying at Castel Gandolfo in the Alban Hills for a period of rest following a busy season, which notably included a trip to the Canary Islands and Lampedusa, and becoming the first pontiff to receive the Liberty Medal.
