This second of three articles recounting the last days of Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre was written by Fr. Michel Simoulin, SSPX, who was at the time rector of the Society of Saint Pius X’s (SSPX) seminary in Ecône, Switzerland. It is taken from Les Cahiers de Controverses, No. 1. It was translated from French and first published in the September 1999 issue of The Angelus. Additional edits for consistency and style have been applied for its publication on this site.
