[Hermann the Cherusker]

What one says and what one does can be different things after time for reflection. Away from undue Roman influences and after witnessing the stark reality of what passes for Catholicism in the world, Lefebvre wisely saw the need to create an oasis of tradition in a desert of reform, novelty and destruction. Thus, we have a solid benchmark against which modern theology, trendy liturgy and chaotic governance can be compared.

The same rationalizations by James Baradai produced the Jacobite schism in Syria and Egypt in the mid-6th century, with the concsecration of multiple Bishops-at-large to "preserve tradition" against "undue Roman influence", "modern (i.e. Chalcedonian) theology", etc.

Gosh, you must thumb through your ancient books frantically for models of precedence .... but then we are all slaves to precedence until it suits us not to be!. I thought the Jacobite rebellion was a Scottish event with a Catholic monarchy trying to replace a Protestant one. I am not sure which side Rome was on then.
