The Society of St. Pius X is an international society made up of traditional Roman Catholic clergy. Founded with canonical approval in 1970[1] by the late Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, it is the largest traditional Catholic group in operation and currently administers the Sacraments in over 27 countries. There is much dispute regarding accusations of schism due Archbishop Lefebvre’s decision to consecrate 4 Bishops in 1988, disregarding the command of Pope John Paul II.
