On the tendency of the rebounded to declare the sede vacante
The so-called transalpine redemptorists—known as Transalpine Redemptorists—are a traditionally-minded community that, after an initial period in the orbit of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X, was regularized during the pontificate of Benedict XVI and incardinated in a diocese in New Zealand. At that moment they accepted an interpretation of the Second Vatican Council in light of Tradition and compatible with their charism. Their austere life and strict liturgical sensibility had not prevented them from remaining within the ecclesial structure. Until now. A disciplinary intervention motivated by internal denunciations, pointing to extreme practices in communal life, has precipitated an abrupt shift also on the doctrinal plane.
