Priest from excommunicated Catholic sect says future pope will ‘open the door’ to return

• A priest from a Catholic splinter sect, excommunicated earlier this week, told his congregation on Sunday that the breakaway group anticipates a future pope will welcome them back into the Church.
• Pius X, an ultra-conservative Catholic group, faced excommunication after ordaining four bishops without Pope Leo's approval on Wednesday.
• The group has remained unrepentant regarding the schism with Rome, asserting that Pope Leo failed to address their concerns.
