Conclave votes for Archb Lefebvre

I added the page # to the book, The Horn of the Unicorn, for the statement that there were "three" or "several" votes for Archbishop Lefebvre in the 1978 Papal conclave. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.32.102.228 (talk) 11:12, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Thank you. I have deleted this as rumor and speculation. Elizium23 (talk) 17:17, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Background section

"Lefebvre belonged to an identifiable strand of right-wing political and religious opinion in French society that originated among the defeated royalists after the 1789 French Revolution." unsourced and tendentious. Why not "identify" this "identifiable" strand? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 23:56, 30 December 2018 (UTC)

Yes. This is the very line I have called into question as well. "Right" and "left" are political categories and are not applicable when speaking of Archbishop Lefebvre. The terms "orthodox" and "heterodox" should be used instead and care should be given to present information objectively, rather than attempting to politicize the page.

75.170.42.147 (talk) 17:13, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

I disagree. Give us reliable sources that "right" and "left" never pertain to religion and always pertain to politics. And your edits include more than changing those terms; you removed properly sourced and relevant information. In any event, two editors have reverted you. You are required to get consensus instead of edit warring. Sundayclose (talk) 17:37, 15 March 2020 (UTC)

Suspension of the excommunication

I am sorry for such a simple question. But is true or not that Mgr Lefebvre is still excommunicated from a juridical poitn of view? Has he never declared a Servant of God in any diocese, somewhere located into the Roman Catholic Church? It seems not to be true.

https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cbishops/documents/rc_con_cbishops_doc_20090121_remissione-scomunica_it.html The previous link gives the decree of Ratzinger in which the excommunication was annulled in favour to the four bishops consacrated by hand of Mgr Lefebvre.

But their main consecrator isn't mentioned at all. Does someone know if Ratzinger or Bergoglio had subsequently decided to annull the excommunication of Mgr Lefebvre? Or if one of the bishops consecrated by Lefebvre has asked to restore his honour and surname? I apologize for the imperfect English, but the matter doesn't deserve non singular particular attention, even idiomatic, except for what concerns thr historical truth. Thanks in advance for any eventual help.Theologian81sp (talk) 22:39, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Template:Ping From what I get, his and de Castro Mayer's excommunications were never lifted. One things I am sure, is that Lefebvre was never declared a servant of God; although, maybe some SSPX members hold him as such. Veverve (talk) 13:27, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

It is a problem that the Code of Canon Law cited is the 1983 Code, when the excommunication occurred in 1975. Here is the old Code of Canon law in effect at the time:

Can. 2370. Episcopus aliquem consecrans in Episcopum, Episcopi vel, loco Episcoporum, presbyteri assistentes, et qui consecrationem recipit sine apostolico mandato contra praescriptum can. 953, ipso iure suspensi sunt, donec Sedes Apostolica eos dispensaverit.

Can. 2370. A Bishop consecrating anyone as a Bishop, the assisting Bishops or, in place of bishops, [the assisting] priests, and whoever receives the consecration, without an apostolic mandate, contrary to the prescription of can. 953, have been suspended by the law itself, until the Apostolic See will have dispensed them.

Can. 953. Consecratio episcopalis reservatur Romano Pontifici ita ut nulli Episcopo liceat quemquam consecrare in Episcopum, nisi prius constet de pontificio mandato.

Can. 953. Episcopal consecration is reserved to the Roman Pontiff, so that no Bishop is permitted to consecrate anyone to be a Bishop, unless the pontifical mandate is first established. PensiveHapax (talk) 23:41, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Template:Ping Template:Tq: no, it occured in 1985. The suspension a divinis occured in 1975. Veverve (talk) 23:51, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Ah, I see. Thanks. PensiveHapax (talk) 01:57, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
