We cannot condemn Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre as being excommunicated. He did the correct thing in rejecting Vatican Council II, irrational. This was really the responsiblity of Pope John Paul II and Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger. They all did not know about Vatican Council II (rational) and the option they had.

This is now a new discovery in the Church. We can interpret Vatican Council II with LG 8, LG 14, LG 16, UR 3, NA 2, GS 22 etc, as referring to only hypothetical cases. We do not have to use the Rahner, Ratzinger and Pope Paul VI-model.They mistook what is hypothetical and invisible as being objective and visible examples of salvation outside the Church in the present times (1965-2023).Then they wrongly interpreted the Council as a break with Tradition.  -Lionel Andrades
