When Leo XIV Allowed Illicit Episcopal Consecrations

Having accepted in 2025 bishops appointed unilaterally by China, Leo XIV should not threaten the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) with excommunication for similar actions, writes Rev Matthew Dimock, a diocesan priest of the Diocese of Charlotte on OnePeterFive.com on June 25.

Rev. Dimock is NOT a defender of the FSSPX.

His argument is that justice requires the Church to enforce its laws consistently, rather than making exceptions based on diplomatic or political considerations.

In late April 2025, during the period between the death of Francis and the election of a new pope, the Chinese Communist Party announced the election of two bishops, an Auxiliary Bishop of Shanghai and the Bishop of Xinxiang. Shanghai already had two bishops and one auxiliary bishop. Xinxiang already had a bishop.

Normally, the Vatican publicly announces bishops before their episcopal consecrations, but in these cases the announcements came only on the day of the consecration.

Rev. Dimock argues that this continued a pattern established under Francis, who also accepted a bishop transfer initiated unilaterally by China.

Let us recall that, in defending unrepentant sodomite priests, the infamous Jorge Bergoglio resorted to the evil argument that it was not his place to judge those who—according to his heretical view—were "seeking" God; he thus set himself up as a judge of divine law and Catholic morality, creating a "gay" pseudo-identity for these apostate priests—a feat impossible for an obstinate sinner who remains blind amidst the darkness of his perversion and his tenacious refusal to abandon sin in order to find God.

Rev Dimock, do you actually believe Bobby Prevost reads your missives? He is right now almost as worthless as colon compromised Bergoglio was. He will soon be worse if the Deity allows him years of abuse against the faithful the same sort of abuse Bergoglio heaped upon the people of Christ...
