SSPX-affiliated religious orders (original) (raw)
The Society of Saint Pius X has close links with several religious institutes, chiefly in France. The Holy See extended, on 20 November 2016, permanent canonical recognition to confessions heard by Society priests (Misericordia et Misera, 12) and later, on 4 April 2017, also allowed local ordinaries to grant delegation to priests of the Society for officially witnessing marriages.
