La vida de Monseñor Lefebvre, contada por él mismo. En un estilo ameno y llano repasa su infancia, los años de su seminario en Roma, su larga tarea como misionero en África, las labores apostólicas como Obispo de Dakar. su desempeño como Superior de los Padres Espiritanos en los turbulentos años del Concilio y el último gran desafío de su la fundación de la Fraternidad San Pío X.
Marcel François Marie Joseph Lefebvre (29 November 1905 – 25 March 1991) was a French Roman Catholic archbishop. Following a career as an Apostolic Delegate for West Africa and Superior General of the Holy Ghost Fathers, he took the lead in opposing certain changes within the Church associated with the Second Vatican Council.
In 1970, Lefebvre founded the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX). In 1988, after he consecrated four bishops to continue his work with the SSPX against the expressed prohibition of Pope John Paul II, the Holy See immediately declared that he and the other bishops who had participated in the ceremony had incurred automatic excommunication under Catholic canon law. In 2009, 18 years after Lefebvre's death, Pope Benedict XVI lifted the excommunication of the four surviving bishops.
“When we do the will of God and not our own, the Good Lord blesses us. And in the end we become attached to the task which God has given us. Do not be afraid.”
Fascinating look at the Archbishop's life and career, as told by the Archbishop himself. It also shows several trends present in the early 20th century that would lead up to Vatican II, such as the condemnation of Fr. Le Flock.
