The Vatican Breaks Ties with the SSPX Group
梵蒂岡與 SSPX 組織斷絕關係
Introduction
The Vatican says the leaders of the SSPX group are no longer part of the Church. This happened because the group made four new bishops without the Pope's permission.
梵蒂岡表示 SSPX 組織的領導人已不再是教會的一部分。這是因為該組織在未經教宗許可的情況下，任命了四位新主教。
Main Body
On Wednesday, two bishops in Switzerland made four priests into bishops. Pope Leo XIV told them not to do this. He said it was a very bad sin. On Thursday, the Vatican said these six bishops are now excommunicated.
週三，瑞士的兩位主教將四位神父晉升為主教。教宗利奧十四世要求他們停止這樣做，並稱這是一種非常嚴重的罪。週四，梵蒂岡宣布這六位主教目前已被逐出教會（絕通）。
The SSPX group does not like the changes from the 1960s. They want to use Latin in church. They do not agree with how the Church talks to other religions. Now, the Vatican says the group's weddings and confessions are not real.
SSPX 組織不認同 1960 年代起的變革。他們希望在教會中使用拉丁文。他們不同意教會與其他宗教交流的方式。現在，梵蒂岡宣布該組織舉行的婚禮與告解均不具有法律效力。
The SSPX says they needed more bishops for their 600,000 members. Their leader, Davide Pagliarani, says they want to protect old church rules. They say they are helping the Church, not fighting it.
SSPX 表示他們需要更多主教來服務 60 萬名成員。其領袖 Davide Pagliarani 表示，他們希望保護舊有的教會規則。他們聲稱自己是在幫助教會，而非與之對抗。
Conclusion
The Vatican now has no legal link to the SSPX. The members are no longer allowed in the Church.
梵蒂岡目前與 SSPX 已無任何法律聯繫。其成員不再被允許進入教會。
