The late French archbishop Marcel Lefebvre was excommunicated for opposing changes in the church agreed by the Second Vatican Council

This source seems to have a Lefebvrist bias. The late archbishop was excommunicated for illicitly ordaining bishops in violation of a direct order from the Pope.

Thank you. The virulent disobedience for which LeFebvre and his associates were excommunicated needs to be repeatedly noted simoply because of the lying SSPX propaganda that their rebellion against the person and office of Pope John Paul the Great had anything whatsoever to do with Mass rubrics or with Latin vs. vernacular. The SSPX is and was the product of LeFebvre's infernal pride, infernal decisions, and infernal willingness to encourage others to reject salvation. Not that I feel strongly about Marcel or anything.

God bless you, yours and all that you do.
