  • Cardinal Pietro Parolin described the act as schismatic and highlighted the harm done to the unity of 1.4 billion Catholics.

  • Pope Leo’s prohibition and the automatic excommunication linked to unauthorized ordinations reinforce the necessity of papal consent.

  • The group rejects key reforms from the Second Vatican Council, including the shift from Latin to local languages in Mass.
  • This is in itself a schismatic act.
    — Parolin told journalists in Rome
