Life

Clarence Kelly was on 13 April 1973 in Ecône by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre for the Society of St. Pius X. ( religious symbol : SSPX) for priests ordained.

Kelly became District Superior of the Society of Priests in the United States. In 1983 he was expelled from the FSSPX together with eight other priests, among other things because they had refused to read the missal of John XXIII. to use and to name John Paul II in the mass canon. The excluded priests formed the sedisvakantist Society of St. Pius V (SSPV), which questioned the legitimacy of the liturgical reforms since 1958. Most of the SSPV priests, including Daniel Dolan , Donald J. Sanborn and Anthony Cekada, broke away from the SSPV, partly because Kelly and others denied the validity of the Thuc ordinations, partly because it provided a more open structure for the sedevacantist Position wished. Sanborn and Dolan were later ordained bishops in the Thuc line .

Clarence Kelly was on 19 October 1993 in California Carlsbad , a coastal resort between Los Angeles and San Diego , by Alfredo Mendez-Gonzalez , bishop emeritus of Arecibo, Puerto Rico to Bishop ordained. In 1984 Kelly founded the Congregation of the Daughters of Mary, whose motherhouse is in Round Top, in New York's Greene County south of Albany .
