数据一览
The Piyus X Fraternity filed an administrative appeal against the Vatican's excommunication decision. The fraternity continues to defend the illegal episcopal consecrations they performed on 1 July, against the explicit will of the Pope. The group interprets that the appeal process automatically suspends the implementation of the excommunication decision.
However, Canon Law experts state that such an administrative appeal will not suspend the penalty. The excommunication came into force directly and automatically due to the completion of the actions in question. The review of the grounds does not invalidate the legal consequences of the committed religious offense.
The fraternity plans to take the matter further if the Vatican rejects this request. They stated that if their appeal is not accepted, they will apply to higher authorities, up to the Pope, whom they did not obey. This situation shows that the group's leaders have not yet grasped the seriousness of the current crisis.
