Before I get any further into this essay, I think it’s important to provide some background information of the cult. Firstly, it was founded as the Society of Saint Pious X (SSPX) in 1970 by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, who I do not believe was a cult leader. In fact, I think he was only an overzealous archbishop.

When St. John XXIII announced the Second Vatican Council (hereafter VC II) in 1959, he caught the Catholic world by surprise; no one expected that he would cause upheaval in the Catholic Church. I believe that VC II’s legacy is not strictly restricted to the Church’s doctrine, the liturgical changes that came out of the council signalled the Church’s willingness to reform itself to grow with post World War II society.
