The Vatican has declared that members of the newly excommunicated Society of St. Pius X are sinning, as the traditionalist group maintains a defiant outpost in Kansas.

The Vatican has excommunicated six ultraconservative bishops and hundreds of thousands of followers of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) after they ordained new bishops without papal approval. This move marks a significant schism within the Catholic Church, with the Vatican threatening further excommunication for those who continue to support the group.

The traditionalist Society of St. Pius X proceeded with the consecration of four bishops, defying warnings from the Vatican that such an act would lead to the bishops' excommunication.
