He warned that constant dissension risks alienating the laity and criticized reformers seeking to loosen divorce, birth control, and priestly marriage rules while traditionalists resist Vatican reforms. The pope’s sharp remarks targeted Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, whose movement questions the council's changes and Latin Mass.
