Pope threats excommunication over Lefebvre schism and vows unity
Pope John Paul II warned followers of Marcel Lefebvre they face excommunication if they stay with the rebel prelate. The Vatican excommunicated Antonio de Castro Mayer for assisting Lefebvre in consecrating four bishops, a move that sparked the church’s first schism in 118 years. The pontiff offered loyal traditionalists broader use of the Latin Mass and announced a four member Vatican commission to guide unification with those who remain with Rome.
