Lefebvre's St. Pius X seminary in cne, Switzerland. He then presented histhesis that the Chair of Peter might be vacant because Pope Paul VI was guilty ofheresy (see sedevacantism and sedeprivationism). Because of this view, Lefebvreremoved Gurard des Lauriers from his seminary teaching post in 1977.He further developed his beliefs on the current state of the papacy, relying onCardinal Cajetan and St. Robert Bellarmine, arguing that Pope Paul VI, as a resultof his heresy, was not a true pope, being only pope materially (papa materialiter)and not formally, known as the "Cassiciacum thesis".Gurard des Lauriers further believed that the new rites of ordination andepiscopal consecration (newest Ponticale Romanum, new forms by promulgationof 18 June 1968) promulgated by Pope Paul VI were doubtfully valid (or evenoutrightly invalid) and therefore it was necessary to take action to secure a validsuccession of bishops for the preservation of the (Latin Rite) Roman CatholicChurch. He began discussions with Dr. Eberhard Heller and Dr. Hiller, Germansedevacantist activists who were harboring Most. Rev. Pierre Martin Ng nhThc (18971985), the former archbishop of Hu, Vietnam, and after Gurard desLauriers O.P. agreed to abate his Sedeprivationism and adhere to the theoreticaltenets of Sedevacantism, it was agreed that Archbishop emeritus Ngo Dinh Thucwould consecrate him as a bishop.Accordingly, after long consideration, on May 7, 1981, Gurard des Lauriers wasconsecrated bishop by Ngo Dinh Thuc in Toulon, France. Shortly after, Gurarddes Lauriers reiterated his Sedeprivationism and commenced a polemical warwith the Sedevacantists, including Ng nh Thuc and Drs. Heller and Hiller.Gurard des Lauriers died in tiolles, France, in 1988 at the age of 90.
