Marcel Lefebvre opposed the modernizing reforms of the Second Vatican Council (Vatican II; 1962–65), denouncing them as “heretical,” “anti-Christ,” and “satanic.” He disagreed with the council’s changes to the liturgy, such as celebrating mass in vernacular languages instead of Latin, and its efforts to reconcile the Roman Catholic Church with other religions, such as Judaism and Islam.
