Who were the bishops illicitly consecrated with Williamson in 1988?

  • Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre

  • Pope Francis

  • Father Bernard Fellay

  • Cardinal Robert Sarah

Answer

The four bishops ordained by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre in 1988 were excommunicated by Pope John Paul II for their disobedience. They were Bernard Fellay, Bernard Tissier de Mallerais, Richard Williamson, and Alfonso de Galarreta. The consecrations were seen as a direct challenge to the authority of the pope and caused a significant rift between the Catholic Church and the traditionalist Catholic movement.
