Answer
Pope Paul VI was the Pope when Lefebvre founded the SSPX. Lefebvre, a French archbishop, founded the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) in 1970 in response to the liturgical changes introduced by the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965). Lefebvre and the SSPX rejected these changes, considering them a departure from traditional Catholic doctrine and practice.
