Spain has seen nearly 1.2 million undocumented migrants apply for legal status under a recent initiative launched by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.

Vatican excommunicates bishops from Society of St. Pius X in ongoing schism
July 2, 2026
2:03 pm
What’s going on?
The Vatican officially excommunicated six bishops from the Society of St. Pius X for maintaining schismatic positions. This action reaffirms the Church’s stance against this ultra-conservative group, which has long rejected the authority of the Vatican. The decision is part of a broader effort to address ongoing theological disputes.
In contrasting frames, CNN reported “Breakaway Catholic group excommunicated after defying warnings from Pope Leo,” focusing on the group’s defiance and its break from the Church. Conversely, CBS News stated “Catholic Church says 6 bishops from ultra-conservative SSPX society excommunicated as decades-old feud reopens,” emphasising the longstanding conflict rather than recent events. This highlights differing angles on the same core issue: the Church’s response to persistent theological dissent.
