I would like to give you just one example of what the Council was: We did everything possible so that Vatican Council II would condemn Communism. [Archbishop Lefebvre: The Role of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X in the heart of the Church-1982]

These two theses were submitted to a vote... The result of this was, in agreement with what we have seen of the Council, that the liberals won. This cannot be denied. They were the ones who dominated in Vatican Council II, unfortunately (disgracefully), with the support of His Holiness Paul VI. [Archbishop Lefebvre: The Role of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X in the heart of the Church-1982]

In this session, Cardinal Bea entitled his thesis, "De libertate religiosa" ("About Religious Liberty"); on the contrary, Cardinal Ottaviani entitled it "About Religious Tolerance." This is how Cardinal Ottaviani defended the traditional thesis of the Church and Cardinal Bea, the liberal thesis.

These two cardinals confronted each other to such a point that Cardinal Ruffini (of Palermo) had to intervene, saying he was sorry to assist at such a serious discussion between two cardinals, members of the College of Cardinals, and for this reason the only solution left was to appeal to the higher authority, that is to say, the pope.

I was witness, in particular, during a last session of the Advisory Council preparatory to the Council itself... to a violent discussion between Cardinal Bea and Cardinal Ottaviani about the document on religious freedom imbued with these modernist ideas would end up triumphant. [Archbishop Lefebvre: The Role of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X in the heart of the Church-1982]

And so we come to the Second Vatican Council, in which those who were imbued with these modernist ideas would end up triumphant. [Archbishop Lefebvre: The Role of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X in the heart of the Church-1982]

Pope St. Pius X says in his first encyclical of 1904: "As of now the enemy is not outside of the Church but within the Church itself," and St. Pius X designates the places where the enemy is found: the enemy is in the seminaries, the enemy has infiltrated the seminaries, among the professors of the seminaries. This is clear! It is St. Pius X himself who says so! [Archbishop Lefebvre: The Role of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X in the heart of the Church-1982]

In the end, all Catholic homes allowed themselves to be penetrated by this climate. [Archbishop Lefebvre: The Role of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X in the heart of the Church-1982]

This constituted a considerable success for Satan within those states, those universities, those schools in which he formed generations imbued with liberalism, modernism, atheism, so that the moment arrived for Satan to take over those states.

The atheistic states, the states that did not profess any religion, persecuted the Catholic Church, which was then attacked by the same lay-states which had become anti-Catholic states. [Archbishop Lefebvre: The Role of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X in the heart of the Church-1982]

Afterwards, to be more sure in his attacks on the Church, which was defended by her children and governed by those who were called lieutenants of Our Lord Jesus Christ by the Catholic princes, Satan attacked those same governments of the Catholic states and unleashed a persecution against those Catholic states which resulted in their no longer being Catholic states.

Until that time the devil worked as an enemy of the Church, to destroy the Church from without and so he was able to take entire nations away from the Kingdom of Our Lord Jesus Christ and bring them to the gates of hell. [Archbishop Lefebvre: The Role of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X in the heart of the Church-1982]

Satan also invented false religions which made the work of the missions difficult by making impossible the conversion of entire nations. That was the work of the devil for fifteen centuries, we can say, until the moment of the French Revolution. [Archbishop Lefebvre: The Role of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X in the heart of the Church-1982]

Then came the heresies, the schisms, the attacks against the Faith, the divisions brought to life by the devil and so, disgracefully, millions of Christians separated themselves from the Church. [Archbishop Lefebvre: The Role of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X in the heart of the Church-1982]

...and then, from the beginning, and for three centuries, there were thousands and thousands of martyred Christians who gave testimony of the Faith—of their faith in Our Lord Jesus Christ. [Archbishop Lefebvre: The Role of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X in the heart of the Church-1982]

...for which reason he [the devil] went on attacking the Mystical Body of Christ, the Holy Catholic Church... [Archbishop Lefebvre: The Role of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X in the heart of the Church-1982]

The devil always fought against Our Lord Jesus Christ and he could have thought he triumphed at the moment of the Crucifixion, at the moment of Calvary but there he was also defeated... [Archbishop Lefebvre: The Role of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X in the heart of the Church-1982]

If we go back to the first causes of the actual situation, if we look for the first author of these changes, we will meet the first enemy, the great enemy of Our Lord Jesus Christ, His sworn enemy—Satan himself.

But we cannot help recognizing that something important has changed in the Church. [Archbishop Lefebvre: The Role of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X in the heart of the Church-1982]

I have an immense veneration for the Church and I think that I continue always working for the Church, as I did in the times of Pope Pius XI and Pope Pius XII. [Archbishop Lefebvre: The Role of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X in the heart of the Church-1982]

So that, when I speak of the Church, it is not realized or taken into account that I do not wish to attack the Church. [Archbishop Lefebvre: The Role of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X in the heart of the Church-1982]

But, unfortunately, we must recognize that something has changed in the Church. Of course, when I say the Church I am conscious of the fact that the Church cannot change, because the Church will always be eternal, holy, universal, catholic and apostolic.

How proud we could be to have in our day examples of kings and queens who would live like saints! What examples this would mean for the whole world! And that posture was conserved by the Church until the times of Pius XII. [Archbishop Lefebvre: The Role of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X in the heart of the Church-1982]

All these kings and queens who have been canonized give us an extraordinary example which we would do well to adopt in our days. [Archbishop Lefebvre: The Role of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X in the heart of the Church-1982]

So did the Church show the example of these persons who had worked—each one in Her midst, who had worked in the course of their lives to sanctify themselves by the reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ and to establish His reign in souls.

In the same way the Church has raised to Her altars many saints, holy popes, holy bishops, holy priests, religious men and women, fathers of families, mothers of families, kings, queens, the poor. [Archbishop Lefebvre: The Role of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X in the heart of the Church-1982]

These missionaries the Church has raised to Her altars and has considered them martyrs. [Archbishop Lefebvre: The Role of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X in the heart of the Church-1982]
