Father Michael Goldade

Father Michael Goldade is a Catholic priest and the rector of a seminary in Dillwyn, Virginia, affiliated with the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), a traditionalist Catholic group that rejects certain reforms of the Catholic Church made since the Second Vatican Council. He was recently in the news for being one of the four bishops ordained by the SSPX without the approval of Pope Leo XIV, an act that poses a significant challenge to papal authority and is considered a serious violation of church law.
