NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
The Society of Saint Pius X is a traditionalist Catholic sect that was founded in 1970 by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, who disagreed with certain reforms introduced by the Second Vatican Council. The sect has been at odds with the Vatican for decades, with the Vatican previously attempting to reconcile with the group through various negotiations and agreements. The excommunication of its followers marks a significant escalation in the rift between the Vatican and the Society of Saint Pius X.
