U.S. bishops issued statements expressing sorrow, warning faithful and urging prayers for unity after the excommunication of the Society of St. Pius X, or SSPX.
The Archdiocese of San Francisco has agreed to a proposed $395 million settlement that would resolve hundreds of lawsuits filed by survivors of clergy sexual abuse.
The prior of Oxford University’s Blackfriars Hall said the SSPX should not be confused with traditionalist groups who remained faithful to the Catholic Church.
