You think an action to disobey in order to preserve traditional Catholicism was INTRINSICALLY evil? What planet are you living on? Did Lefebvre try to assassinate the Pope--or rape a six-year-old? Those would be INTRINSICALLY evil acts. The act of disobedience in itself is not intrinsically evil. It is certainly permitted under certain circumstances--to resist a command to do what would harm the Church, for instance. You need to read up on moral theology.

You think an action to disobey in order to preserve traditional Catholicism was INTRINSICALLY evil?It's not about what I think. It's what the Church thinks. "Tends to harms souls" is probably more applicable here if you don't like intrinsically evil, although disobedience certainly qualifies as such in some instances.
