- Pope cuts off conservative group
Pope Leo XIV excommunicated 750 priests from the Society of St. Pius X, an ultraconservative group opposing 20th-century reforms and linked to Europe's far right. The move followed the group's defiance by ordaining bishops without Vatican approval, creating the church's largest schism in 150 years.
