Rebel archbishop Lefebvre confirms dozens against Vatican
Paris UPI Lefebvre defies the Vatican by administering confirmations to several dozen children and adults at St Nicolas du Chardonnet in Paris. The 74 year old prelate suspended since 1976 criticizes France’s church while calling for Latin rites. He notes Pope John Paul II’s visit brought some oxygen but urges wider restoration of traditional practices. Organizers estimate Lefebvre’s followers at about 70,000 amid fears of a schism.
