U.S. Father Michael Goldade bows with the Gospels on his shoulders as Bishop Alfonso de Galarreta lays his hands on his head during an episcopal ordination without papal approval for the Society of St. Pius X in Écône, Switzerland, July 1, 2026. The schismatic act of conferring episcopal consecration upon four priests without pontifical mandate and against the will of the pope incurred automatic excommunication for the prelates directly involved.
