This priest received a proclamation from the Pope for his dedicated life to the priesthood. Which Pope? There are Tridentine Indult Masses, which are approved by the local bishop. There are parishes run by the Fraternity for the Society of St. Peter which celebrate all of the sacraments from the 1962 Missal. These are in union with Rome.
Those who worship at SSPX Masses reject the authority of the Pope over them and follow a successor the the excommunicated Marcel Lefebvre, who led his SSPX out of the Catholic Church in 1988.

"Which Pope?"
The present Pope, the Bishop of Rome, resident in the Vatican City!

St. Athanasius was excommunicated by Pope Liberius in 352 AD, and yet look which one was canonized.

More slander. I am of that number and do not reject the Pope. I only abhor his policies and the fact that he does not use his authority to eliminate corruption and heterodoxy in the Chuch but instead seems to encourage these. But I acknowledge he is the Pope. So do all SSPX priests. No matter how many times you circulate this lie, it doesn't make it true.
