SWITZERLAND-VATICAN-RELIGION-CATHOLIC-SCHISM
Bishop Bernard Tissier de Mallerais of France looks on during an ordination mass of the breakaway Traditionalist Catholic Roman Society of St Pius X in Econe, western Switzerland on June 29, 2009. Breakaway fundamentalist Roman Catholics ordained eight priests at their seminary in the Swiss village of Econe, in renewed defiance of a ban by the Vatican. The ceremony by the Society of St Pius X, which was declared "illegitimate" by the Church, marked a second snub for Pope Benedict XVI's authority after four other ordinations over the weekend in Germany. In January the pope had lifted the excommunication of four of the society's "bishops", including Holocaust denier Richard Williamson, in a gesture of reconciliation. AFP PHOTO / Fabrice COFFRINI
