Marcel Lefebvre
Marcel Lefebvre was the founder of the Priestly Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), which he established as a response to the changes introduced by the Second Vatican Council. He was excommunicated in 1988 for ordaining bishops without the Vatican's consent, a legacy that continues to influence SSPX's current actions.
