Not so! Why keep saying this? Posting quotes from Msgr. Lefebvre where he admits he could have got his bishop on August 15th 1988 is getting tiring. It was Msgr. Lefebvre who refused to give Cardinal Ratzinger candidates for ordination, once his men like Fr. Williamson were rejected.
What you mean to say is that Msgr. Lefebvre couldn't have a Bp. Williamson, but only a perfectly traditional bishop such as Dom Gerard Calvet, prior of Le Barroux.
The Archbishop tried to pin Ratzinger down on a date and a name and got vague promises. Apparently the Pope wanted to be obeyed without his own commitment to anything concrete. The Archbishop went along as much as he could--until he realized he was being given the runaround. He was old and ill--and he was convinced Rome intended to run out the clock and renege after he was gone. He knew how the game was played and decided to obey God instead. The man showed heroic sanctity in my book, single-handedly preserving the Traditional Mass. The Pope showed he had little respect for Catholic Tradition--and he's still showing it.
