Read the stories in this episode:
- The Vatican has declared the Society of St. Pius X to be "in schism" after the traditionalist group consecrated four bishops without papal approval, marking the most serious rupture since Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre's unauthorized episcopal consecrations in 1988.
- The Vatican Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith has established a procedure for both priests and lay faithful connected to the Society of St. Pius X to return to Catholic communion, following the society's schismatic act July 1.
- Conservative Catholics are urging Church leaders to provide stronger pastoral support for traditionalists who remain loyal to the pope after six leaders of the Society of St. Pius X were excommunicated July 2 for consecrating four bishops without papal approval.
- The National Eucharistic Pilgrimage ends July 5 with a closing Mass, procession and celebration in Philadelphia, which will begin with a special video message from Pope Leo XIV.
- For Noah Hajdu, carrying a 130-pound wooden cross up 2,006-foot-high Mount Wachusett in central Massachusetts was more than a physical feat -- it was to honor Jesus Christ.
