Oh please! The Pope's intentions were perfectly clear that Lefebre was excommunicated.
The Pope unjustly excommunicated Archbishop Lefebvre who was protecting the ancient Mass from the destruction intended by John Paul II. The Archbishop, moreover, correctly and appropriately evoked canon law--canon 1323--which decreed that no one could be excommunicated who believed he must disobey because of a state of necessity--an emergency situation. The Pope ignored his own law--unjustly. He was a modernist--and clearly despised Lefebvre's traditionalism. He believed there was no emergency--even as the Church was collapsing around his ears. The Archbishop was perfectly right to consecrate for the good of souls and the Church in general--and the Pope was completely wrong.
