LA SFIDA ALLA CHIESA, I LEFEBVRIANI TREVIGIANI: «SCISMA INEVITABILE» | 01/07/2026

A3 NEWS Treviso 01/07/2026 - PAESE - The schism with the Catholic Church caused by the consecration of four bishops by the traditionalist community of the Fraternity of St. Pius XI also affects the Marche region. Because in Paese, the Lefebvrian rebels have long had their own church where they celebrate regularly every day. || You don't have to go to Switzerland or Rome to experience firsthand the difference between the Catholic Church and that of the Lefebvrian community of the Fraternity of St. Pius XI. Today more than ever after the Superior General of the Lefebvrians, Father Davide Pagliarani, consecrated four new bishops in Econe in the canton of Valais despite Pope Leo's warning not to proceed to avoid the schism. One need only enter the community church in Paese to understand how the divide has distant roots linked to the Second Vatican Council and what many considered the necessary revolution for the Catholic Church to keep pace with the times. It must be said that Father Abramovic, after the Society of Saint Pius X, now belongs to the Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen, which not only rejects the Second Vatican Council but also believes that the papal throne has been vacant since 1958. These are concepts that Father Josef explains at every daily celebration, especially on Sundays, to the many faithful who fill their church. For them, the rite does not allow the celebrant to turn his back to the altar, while accepting that the Mass not be celebrated entirely in Latin. These are fixed points that are non-negotiable for the Lefebvrians, who nevertheless heeded the Pope's appeal to avoid schism and excommunications. For them, dialogue is open but without room for mediation. - Interviewees: DON FLORIANO ABRAHAMOWIC (Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen), DON JOSEF WAISSENSTEINER (Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen) (Report by Lucio Zanato) - Follow Antenna Tre on digital terrestrial too!
