FR. GUERARD DES LAURIERS OP
This man is a key figure in the Traditionalist Movement. As the author of the Ottaviani Intervention, he knew full well the evils in the Novus Ordo Missae. And yet, he joined Archbishop Lefebvre at Econe, while the Novus Ordo Missae was still in use. According to his statement, on Christmas Eve he asked Lefebvre why if he was a Traditionalist did he still use an innovated Mass? We must presume that he participated in the Novus Ordo until his complaint on Christmas Eve. He was to remain at Econe until 1977, when he was dismissed for his sede vacantist leanings. However, he invented a new theory of the Papacy, one that heretically denies the truths of the Divine and Catholic Faith by holding that a heretic can have some claim to the Papacy, that will revive, if he converts, where as Pope Paul IV infallibly declared that a heretic can have absolutley no claim to the Papacy. Des Lauriers was to take his thory with him to his consecration as bishop by Bishop Peter Martin Ngo-Dihn Thuc, who he had met previously at Econe. It has been alleged that this consecration was performed in the New Rite of Ordination. Since des Lauriers had not written a condemnation of the New Rite of Ordination similar to the Ottaviani Intervention, one must presume he had no objection to this rite. This is especially true, since it has been reported that Lefebvre used the New Rite on one occasion, and des Lauriers would have participate as a professor at Econe.
