罗马——梵蒂冈周四宣布，与极保守的圣庇护十世协会（SSPX）有关联的6名主教已被逐出教会，此前一日该协会在瑞士埃科讷未经授权祝圣了4名新主教。
此次祝圣未获教皇利奥十四世批准。根据天主教教会法，只有教皇有权授权祝新主教。
梵蒂冈表示，两名负责祝圣的主教以及4名新祝圣的主教（其中包括一名美国人）已遭受“ latae sententiae（自动）”逐出教会的处罚。教廷进一步声明，此次祝圣行为构成“分裂行为”，标志着与教会共融的正式决裂。

逐出教会是天主教教廷可施加的最严厉处罚之一。该处罚禁止天主教徒领取洗礼、圣餐、婚姻等任何教会圣事。
梵蒂冈进一步警告圣庇护十世协会成员，凡明知故犯并正式依附该协会者，将被视为完全脱离教会共融。
圣座还撤销了此前授予圣庇护十世协会神父有效举行告解和婚姻圣事的权限，这意味着由该协会神职人员主持的上述圣事不再被视为有效。
在祝圣仪式前一日，教皇利奥十四世为推动合一发起最后呼吁，亲自致信该协会总会长。
“我全心全意恳求你，恳请你：请回头吧！”利奥十四世写道，他是首位美国出生的教皇。

圣庇护十世协会于20世纪70年代由法国大主教马塞尔·勒费弗尔创立，旨在应对第二次梵蒂冈大公会议之后的礼仪和神学改革。该协会力求保留传统拉丁弥撒及其眼中的天主教历史教义。
尽管该协会最初获得梵蒂冈批准，但随着其拒绝大公会议的核心内容——尤其是其关于宗教自由、教派间合一和主教集体负责制——即主教集体共同承担教会治理责任的原则，与罗马的关系逐步恶化。
此次分裂事件与近40年前的往事如出一辙：1988年，勒费弗尔大主教未经教皇批准祝圣了4名主教，导致自动逐出教会的处罚。
教皇本笃十六世于2009年解除了幸存主教的个人逐出教会处罚，作为推动和解的举措之一，但该协会的教会法地位仍未得到解决。
在过去50年里，圣庇护十世协会已发展成为一个全球运动，拥有约60万信徒。该协会在全球运营神学院、学校、静修中心和数百座小教堂。
在美国，圣庇护十世协会的总部位于堪萨斯州，并在弗吉尼亚州迪尔温运营圣托马斯阿奎那神学院，为全美各地的小教堂和学校网络提供服务。
该协会称其在美国拥有2.5万名信徒。
据估计，周三有1.5万人聚集在埃科讷见证此次主教祝圣仪式。
尽管梵蒂冈对此次教会决裂表示惋惜，但表示仍将为圣庇护十世协会成员终有一日能完全回归天主教共融而祈祷。
Catholic Church says 6 bishops from ultra-conservative SSPX society excommunicated as decades-old feud reopens

Rome— The Vatican announced Thursday that six bishops associated with the ultra-conservative Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) have been excommunicated following the unauthorized consecration of four new bishops the previous day in Écône, Switzerland.
The consecrations were carried out without the approval of Pope Leo XIV. Under Catholic canon law, only the pope can authorize the consecration of new bishops.
The Vatican said the two consecrating bishops and the four newly ordained bishops — including one American — had incurred “latae sententiae” (automatic) excommunication. The Church further declared that the consecrations constituted a “schismatic act,” representing a formal break in ecclesial communion.

Excommunication is one of the most serious penalties that can be imposed by the Catholic Church’s leadership. It bars a Catholic from receiving any church sacraments such as baptism, communion or marriage.
Going even further, the Vatican warned members of the SSPX that those who knowingly and formally align themselves with the society place themselves outside full communion with the Church.
The Holy See also revoked the faculties previously granted to SSPX priests to validly celebrate the sacraments of confession and marriage, meaning those sacraments are no longer recognized as valid when administered by SSPX clergy.
On the eve of the consecrations, Pope Leo made a final appeal for unity, writing personally to the Society’s Superior General.
“I plead with you and ask you with all my heart: please turn back!” wrote Leo, the first-ever U.S.-born pontiff.

The SSPX was founded in the 1970s by French Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre in response to the liturgical and theological reforms that followed the Second Vatican Council. The society sought to preserve the Traditional Latin Mass and what it regards as the historic teachings of the Catholic Church.
Although initially established with Vatican approval, relations with Rome steadily deteriorated as the SSPX rejected key aspects of the Council, particularly its teachings on religious liberty, interdenominational unity and episcopal collegiality – or the principle that bishops collectively share responsibility for Church governance.
The current schism echoes events from nearly four decades ago, when, in 1988, Archbishop Lefebvre consecrated four bishops without papal approval, resulting in automatic excommunication.
Pope Benedict XVI lifted the personal excommunications of the surviving bishops in 2009 as part of an effort to foster reconciliation, but the society’s canonical status remained unresolved.
Over the past five decades, the SSPX has grown into a global movement with an estimated 600,000 adherents. It operates seminaries, schools, retreat centers and hundreds of chapels worldwide.
In the United States, SSPX is headquartered in Kansas and it operates the St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary in Dillwyn, Virginia, serving a network of chapels and schools across the country.
The society says it has 25,000 adherents in the U.S.
An estimated 15,000 people gathered Wednesday in Écône to witness the episcopal consecrations.
While expressing sorrow over the rupture, the Holy See said it continues to pray that members of the SSPX will one day be restored to full communion with the Catholic Church.
