Letter of Mgr. Lefebvre to Cardinal Seper

29 January 1979



Your Eminence,

At the moment for putting my signature to the documents resulting from the interviews of 11 and 12 January, I have the feeling that I am cooperating in a procedure which it is impossible for me to admit, for the reasons given in my letters of 12 and 14 January.

I had hoped that the Holy Father’s desire to entrust the problem to you personally would have led you to avoid throwing me back into the hands of those who have already condemned me.

That is why I entrust everything to the judgment of the Holy Father.

With respect and devotion in Our Lord and Our Lady,

Marcel Lefebvre
formerly Archbishop-Bishop of Tulle
