A breakaway group of traditionalist Catholics has gone against the wishes of Pope Leo XIV. They celebrated an ancient Latin Mass to consecrate four bishops without the pope's consent. This move could lead to schism and excommunication.

The ceremony took place in Econe, Switzerland, where bells tolled through the mountain valley. The group's actions are seen as a direct defiance of the pope.
