A breakaway Catholic group, the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), has been urged by the Hong Kong Catholic diocese to cease holding masses in the city. This directive follows the Vatican's excommunication of SSPX followers for consecrating bishops against papal instructions. The diocese cited the group's rejection of Vatican II teachings and lack of communion with the Universal Catholic Church as reasons for the prohibition, suggesting an officially recognized community for those seeking the Tridentine Latin Mass.
