FSSPX.News is a news website of the Society of Saint Pius X, publishing in English at fsspx.news/en alongside the society's other official sites.
Its 2026 coverage centred on the society's episcopal consecrations. It maintained a running "Episcopal Consecrations: Updated Dossier" collecting statements and commentary, including a piece by Bishop Athanasius Schneider headlined as arguing that the consecrations would "in no way be schismatic." It announced a dedicated official website for the 1 July ceremony, streamed the consecrations at Écône live with a description of the rite (principal consecrator Bishop Alfonso de Galarreta, co-consecrator Bishop Bernard Fellay), and published photo galleries afterwards.
Because it is an official channel of the society, its reporting reflects the society's positions, including its rejection of the Holy See's 2 July 2026 decree declaring the bishops involved excommunicated. Readers seeking the Holy See's own account can consult Vatican News. See The SSPX episcopal consecrations of 2026.

The SSPX episcopal consecrations of 2026
The SSPX and its supporters say a crisis in the Church made consecrating bishops without a papal mandate necessary. Here is that argument in their words, and what the Holy See said before and after 1 July.
