Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) is the largest radical traditionalist Catholic organization in the world, who rejected the Roman Catholic Church's reforms associated with the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II), alleging that they deviated from the Catholic Church's traditions. Background. The SSPX was founded by late French archbishop Marcel-François Lefebvre in Ecône, Switzerland in 1970 to resist the liberalized Roman Catholic Church. Marcel-François Lefebvre was a supporter of the Nazi puppet state Vichy France, who said that the liberation of France was the "victory of Freemasonry against the Catholic order of Petain."  The SSPX rejected mediation attempts from the Vatican over their theological disagreements and got excommunicated. Since then, the SSPX has been the biggest Catholic publisher of Holocaust-denying materials, with Canada being one of the countries that has banned SSPX publications. Membership. In 2016, it is estimated by scholars that the SSPX has 103 chapels, 25 schools and up to 30,000 followers. E. Michael Jones, one of its loyal members, was also found to have promoted Nazism to his students. As of October 2024, the SSPX has 700 priests worldwide, 180 of whom were based in France operating 250 places of worship. Prominent members. Richard Williamson. One well known member of the society, Richard Williamson, denied the Holocaust in public for several times. Williamson denied the existence of gas chambers in the Auschwitz concentration camp, He also claimed that "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" was true and insisted that fewer than 300,000 Jews had died in the Holocaust in a Swedish TV interview, which caused him to get fined €10,000 in Germany for Holocaust denial. Despite his longstanding antisemitism and Holocaust denial, the Roman Catholic Church reinstated him as a bishop, sparking controversy over the influence of radical traditionalist Catholics within the Church hierarchy.
