The website reports on the excommunication of the Lefebvrite bishops by the Vatican due to schismatic actions, specifically unauthorized episcopal ordinations, which separate them from the Church of Rome.
The claims regarding the excommunication of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X and related actions are well-supported by multiple sources, including Vatican News and America Magazine. These sources confirm the schismatic nature of the ordinations, the resulting excommunication, and the illicit administration of sacraments by the fraternity's ministers. The claim about the location of the Lefebvrite episcopal ordinations in Switzerland lacks external evidence, resulting in a neutral score. Overall, the evidence strongly supports the factual assertions related to the excommunication and its consequences.
