"anti-modernists are not schismatic"

You certainly make sense sometimes.

"anti-modernists are not schismatic"

Archbishop Lefebvre was declared automatically "excommunicated" and schismatic by a modernist Pope. The good Archbishop's crime? Fearing his imminent death, he consecrated bishops to continue the formation and ordination of anti-modernist priests.

Rome had previously agreed, but then delayed, repeatedly, the promised consecration.

It was all planned: wait the good Archbishop out until he died, or declare him "excommunicated" if he performed the consecrations, even if it was from his death-bed. It was a win-win situation for modernist "Rome" and a lose-lose situation for traditional Catholics.
