“Some say the Council was good and has good, but only the reform
is bad. But that is not true! Why? Because when Rome gave the reform,
they always say the reforms they do, they do in the name of the Council.
In the name of the Council! It is evident that all reform came from the
Council, and if the reform is bad, it is impossible that the Council is
good and all reforms are bad. Because that is the authentic
interpretation of the Council by Rome!”
…]“I never…I don’t accept the Council! Because you are destroying
the Catholic State in the name of the Council! It is sure! It is
evident!…This Council gives the same rights to error as to Truth! That
is impossible…This new faith, it is a new religion. It is a protestant
religion. That is a fact! How is it possible that the Pope gives the
authorization to this change? How it is possible that the pope can sign
this constitution (on liturgical change)? It is a deep mystery…If I take
the position of the Council, I am betraying my Mother Church.”
(Archbishop Lefebvre, conference, 1976)
