Answer
In 1988, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, a French Catholic traditionalist, defiantly consecrated four bishops without the approval of Pope John Paul II. This action, considered schismatic by the Vatican, led to Lefebvre's excommunication and the establishment of the Society of Saint Pius X, a breakaway traditionalist Catholic group.
