Address of John Paul II to the Tribulal of the Roman Rota, February 1979

Third paragraph from the end:

I wish at this time to recall Cardinal Boleslaw Filipiak who was summoned to his heavenly home during the past year. I also wish to pay homage to our esteemed Monsignor Charles Lefebvre for his example of diligence and unselfishness. The Holy See continues to benefit by his valuable experience, now that he has ended the service he was rendering to the Sacred Roman Rota until a few months ago.

It's the "other" Lefebvre. Marcel was not a canon lawyer, I don't believe.

Marcel was not much of a Catholic either as noted by his excommunication.
