 Marcel Lefebvre - Wikipedia Mirror
Marcel Lefebvre was born in Tourcoing, France, the second son and third child of René Lefebvre (died 1944 in the Nazi concentration camp of Sonnenburg) and his wife Gabrielle Wattin (died 1938).
Lefebvre was increasingly criticized by certain members of his congregation who considered that he was out-of-step with modern church leaders, particularly in France.
Lefebvre declared that he did not withdraw submission to the Pope and that he believed that canons 1323 and 1324 of the Code of Canon Law absolved him of culpability because of the crisis in the Church.

 The Tragedy of Marcel Lefebvre
It is well-known that Lefebvre's movement has the solid backing of the European Monarchists who are still disgruntled at what they see as the 'betrayal' of Europe's monarchical 'tradition' by Pope Paul VI through his support for the implementation of the decrees of Vatican II.
It would be naive in the extreme to claim that Lefebvre was excommunicated solely because of his support for truly traditional Catholic values; or because the post-Vatican II Church was jealous of his success in attracting seminarians to Econe.
Followers of Lefebvre are not alone among Catholics in their anxiety about the preservation of Catholic tradition and the integrity of Catholic doctrine and practice.

founder of the Society of Saint Pius X. Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre (November 29, 1905–March 25, 1991) was a leading Catholic who opposed the reforms of the Second Vatican Council (1962-65), especially in matters of ecumenism, collegiality, the revision of the then existing Roman Missal, and the authorization to use the vernacular in place of Latin.
Archbishop Lefebvre and the Holy See engaged in dialogue, with Lefebvre meeting with Pope Paul VI and later with Pope John Paul II.
On instructions from Pope John Paul II, Cardinal Ratzinger replied to Archbishop Lefebvre on 30 May, indicating that the Holy See found these demands unacceptable and declaring that, if Lefebvre persisted in his intention to carry out unauthorized consecrations on 30 June, the promised authorization for the ordination of a bishop could not be granted.
