Editor's Note: This article is reproduced from The Remnant Newspaper, March 15, 1973. The following is a summary of an address given on August 7, 1972, by Archbishop Lefebvre to a conference of French priests, his discourse being recorded on tape and then translated and transcribed. 

Of the following article from The Remnant archive, I’m tempted to say: Drop whatever you’re doing and read this article!

Here are the words of a wise man, an outstanding Catholic and something of a prophet. And, let’s not forget: Archbishop Lefebvre was a Council Father at Vatican II. He was there. He knew what went on. And his extraordinary testimony from 1972 in the pages ofThe Remnant puts the lie to the claim that Vatican II was somehow misinterpreted and diverted from its original 'noble' mission. -Michael J.

1. In your opinion, who and what provoked the religious conflict in Ukraine?

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò: First of all, allow me to thank Arkady Mamontov, Dr. Dmitry Toropov, and the editorial staff of Rossiya for inviting me to do this interview. I send my greetings to you and to all of your viewers.

We know, from an analysis of events, that the Ukrainian crisis has been planned for years, since before the Euromaidan. Obviously, the American deep state was no stranger to this regime change operation, accomplished through the State Department and the CIA.

Amidst the persecution, Fr. Pro felt his life had a purpose. During the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary, he prayed that God would take his life, for he believed that a true blood sacrifice, the blood of priests, his blood, was needed for the salvation of Mexico.

Every day in the secular realm, we find new indications that the world is almost completely insane, and the insanity increasingly has a distinctly demonic aspect to it. As demonically insane as the secular world looks now, though, it is the picture of holy sanity compared to Francis’s Synodal Church. Since Easter alone, we have the following manifestations of insane wickedness from Rome:

In a meeting with Jesuits in Hungary on April 29 (the contents of which were published May 9), Pope Francis took aim once again at those whom he calls "restorationists," those who suffer from "indietrismo" (backwardness)—a "nostalgic disease"—and who resist the changes in the Church since Vatican II.

RECENTLY, WHILE PERUSING through the mainstream news, I came across an interview of a college woman athlete who had finished second in a competition and was lamenting the fact that the first-place winner was a transgendered [sic] individual. She was quick to qualify her criticism by noting that she supported the right [sic] of individuals to change gender [sic] but they should not be allowed to compete in sports.

God save the king, and God save us from the king’s New World Order. Will King Charles III back away from the tyrannical agenda of his Globalist friends from Davos?

The Biden Administration tries to remove the Blessed Sacrament from a Catholic hospital. The Catholic hospital fought back, and guess who backed down?

Almost sixty years after the completion of the Second Vatican Council, it may seem, at first glance, like a pointless exercise to examine John XXIII’s October 11, 1962 speech to open the Council. After all, we would expect that any useful insights from the speech would have been fully revealed by now. And yet, if we carefully deconstruct his speech in light of all that has transpired since the Council opened, we can see the foundation and framework for so much of the crisis in the Church and world. It is almost as though Satan and the Church’s enemies had to forecast their plans from the outset.
