The SSPX has appealed Tucho's excommunication. Whilst I will, of course, pray for its success, given Leo's regime, I'm not holding my breath!
From Rorate Cæli
The Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) filed an appeal against the decisions of the Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF) -- a canonical possibility which we mentioned here the day following its publication.
Here is the Communiqué of the SSPX General House:
Communiqué of 13 July 2026.
The Society of Saint Pius X announces that, in response to the decree issued on 2 July 2026 by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, it submitted on 11 July a preliminary recourse to the same Dicastery, in accordance with canons 1734 and following of the Code of Canon Law.
This request, which constitutes the mandatory preliminary step before the possible introduction of a hierarchical recourse, has the effect of suspending the execution of the decree, in accordance with canon 1353 of the Code of Canon Law.
By this recourse, the Society intends to exercise the right which the Church recognizes to any person who considers himself harmed by an administrative act to seek its correction, in a spirit of respect for ecclesiastical authority and of faithful attachment to justice, truth and the good of the Church.
The Society of Saint Pius X entrusts this request to the competent authorities and commends this undertaking to the prayers of all the faithful.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
