Multiple lists were sent to Rome and they were all constantly rejected. LeFebvre knew at the end that Rome would never approve of a strong traditional priest. That's how LeFebvre knew they were simply waiting for him to die. Since there is no doctrine of irresistibility in regards the Pontiff and it is obvious he was not upright in the Faith just as Peter was. LeFebvre was fully in line with tradition for his resistance.
Lefebvre knew he was jumping off a cliff with these ordinations.
What LeFebvre knew and is now painfully obvious to the whole world is that JPII and the rest of his curia had long ago gone over the cliff as far as being upright in the faith is concerned. God will not be mocked with Canon Laws being abused against LeFebvre.
That's a new one. "Irresistibility." You traddies make up terminology as you go, inventing a new concept yet again to explain your schism from the Pope.
Lefebvre was hell-bent to keep his little movement going. He would defy the Pope, regardless.
Welcome to the witches brew that is the FR religion forum. You traddies are like termites, coming out of the woodwork. Did Vennari send you over here?
