CWN Editor's Note: Bishop Hugh Gilbert, O.S.B., of Aberdeen, Scotland, warned against attendance at the episcopal consecration of Father Michael Mary, a priest of the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer (Transalpine Redemptorists).

The traditionalist community reconciled with the Holy See in 2008 but adopted a sedevacantist position last month. Father Michael Mary will be ordained a bishop by Bishop Pierre Roy, a former SSPX priest who traces his episcopal lineage to a bishop ordained by Archbishop Pierre Martin Ngô Đình Thục.
