- Abstract
- The purpose of my article is to highlight the development and activities of the Catholic traditionalist minority groups and discuss their importance in today’s Catholic Church. The traditionalist movement started as a reaction to the reforms implemented as a result of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), which for many conservative-minded Catholics appeared as a departure from Catholic faith and tradition. To safeguard what was perceived as true Catholicism, these traditionalist groups, with the Fraternity of St Pius X (SSPX) at the forefront, erected parishes and mission centres alongside the ordinary Catholic parish structures.

To safeguard what was perceived as true Catholicism, these traditionalist groups, with the Fraternity of St Pius X (SSPX) at the forefront, erected parishes and mission centres alongside the ordinary Catholic parish structures. In 1988, the leader of the movement, the retired French Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, consecrated four of his priests to bishops without papal permission, thus triggering automatic excommunication. Since then, the traditionalist movement has been divided into two branches, as some members disassociated themselves from SSPX and with the approval of the Holy See formed new traditionalist societies, among them the Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP). A common characteristic is the adherence to a pre-conciliar ecclesiastical order, above all the so-called Tridentine liturgy that is regarded a prerequisite for dogmatic orthodoxy. In 2007, Pope Benedict XVI made the Tridentine liturgy an integral part of Catholic worship as an extraordinary form of the Roman rite. The purpose was to pave the way for a reconciliation with SSPX but also to contribute to a more dignified celebration of the new Mass. This led to a strong expansion of the celebration of the old liturgy. With the decree Traditionis custodes from 2021, Pope Francis abolished this bi-ritual order and introduced strict regulations for the use of theold liturgy. By intervening as a ”guardian of tradition” the pope emphasized the normative function of the Vatican II and the reformed liturgy and at the same time opened up to give the traditionalist minority a new place within the framework of the Catholic ecclesiastical order.
