Archbishop Lefebvre was a traitor - and Michael Davies dumped him three years later

Why don't you slanderers at least get your story in order? Perhaps because lying and slandering are much more complicated than telling the truth. It's hard to remember which lie you told last.

Here is what your fellow anti-Traditionalist Stephen Hand said about Michael Davies in his article "The Fall of Michael Davies - The Lefebvrist Worm in Una Voce":

[O]ne looks to the overall and longstanding theology of Davies, Una Voce International president, who wrote recently regarding Protocol 1411, opposing the Holy Father:

"Archbishop Lefebvre withdrew from the 1988 agreement with the Holy See because he felt that the Vatican could not be relied upon to keep its promises. It would appear that there are now powerful forces in the Curia determined to prove that he was right"

Davies remains heavily indebted to and rooted in Lefebvre's errors of disposition, suspicion, and fact. Indeed, Davies' entire theological outlook (as we will see in part below) is thoroughly colored by his long and lasting debt to his mentor. More recently he has taken to bed with the Mattities, speaking at their conferences with the signers of schismatic screeds against the Pope, with Feeneyites also. Much of the Integrist bacteria has been spawned in Davies' old glass. For years---up to and after Lefebvre's death----Davies was and remains the microphone and press agent / apologist for the errors of Lefebvre, which is why he has never repudiated the SSPX (even if Una Voce is inclusive of others), why he allows that organization to continue to sell his books to this day.

This isn't someone you want to quote on much of anything. I have Hand's original book. And he went on essentially to repudiate most EVERYTHING he wrote. He's a flake. He can bitch all he likes about Davies. It means nothing. You'd learn more from Carville telling the Republican how to run the GOP.
