What sacrament did Lefebvre perform without permission?
Baptism
Marriage
Consecrations
Confirmations
Answer
The consecrations refer to the unauthorized ordination of four bishops by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre in 1988, an act that led to his excommunication from the Roman Catholic Church. Lefebvre's disobedience stemmed from his opposition to certain reforms introduced by the Second Vatican Council, particularly those related to liturgy and ecumenism. The consecrations deepened the divide between traditionalist and progressive factions within the Catholic Church.
