Pope Leo XIV has issued an urgent appeal to a breakaway Catholic group to halt their plan to consecrate four bishops without Vatican approval, calling the move a 'sin of extreme gravity' that could have far-reaching consequences for the church. The traditionalist group, known as the 'Roman Catholic Traditionalists,' had announced plans to consecrate the bishops on Tuesday, sparking widespread concern among Catholic leaders. In his plea, Pope Leo warned that such an act would be 'treasonous' and undermine the authority of the Vatican.
