He is often described as incurring the automatic canonical penalty of excommunication for participating in the 1988 illicit consecration of four bishops of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX), as did Lefebvre and the four bishops then ordained. He was mentioned in the letter from Cardinal Gantin on July 1 [1] but not in the letter from Pope John Paul II on July 2.
