Church Fight Over New Bishops
教會因新主教而起的爭議
Introduction
The leaders of the Catholic Church removed the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) from the Church. This happened because the group made four new bishops without permission.
天主教會的領導層將聖庇佑會 (SSPX) 除名。這是因為該組織在未獲得許可的情況下，私自任命了四位新主教。
Main Body
The SSPX group does not like new church rules. They want to use old Latin prayers. They do not want to use local languages in church.
SSPX 組織不認同教會的新規定。他們希望使用舊的拉丁文禱告，不希望在教會中使用當地語言。
On July 1, the group made four men bishops. Pope Leo XIV told them not to do this. He said this act was a very bad sin.
7 月 1 日，該組織任命四名男子為主教。教宗利奧十四世告知他們不要這樣做，並表示此舉是非常嚴重的罪孽。
Now, the Vatican says the SSPX priests cannot do marriages or forgive sins. In the USA, some people still go to these churches. But the Vatican says these people are not following the Pope.
現在，梵蒂岡表示 SSPX 的神父不能主持婚禮或赦罪。在美國，仍有些人前往這些教堂，但梵蒂岡表示這些人並未遵循教宗。
Conclusion
The Church and the SSPX are still angry. But the Vatican has a plan to help people return to the Church.
教會與 SSPX 仍處於對立狀態。但梵蒂岡已有一套計劃，旨在幫助人們重返教會。
