biography

coat of arms

After Algeria's independence , the Faure family emigrated to South America. Jean-Michel Faure entered the seminary of the Society of St. Pius X in Ecône in October 1972 . In June 1977 he received the sacrament of ordination through the retired Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre .

After his ordination, he traveled to South America and Mexico to organize the local network of ancient ritualistic measuring centers.

From 1980 to 1985 Faure was first director and until 2009 professor of the International Seminary “Our Lady and Co-redeemer” in La Reja ( Argentina ). In 1985 he was appointed head of the Mexico District of the Pius Brotherhood.

Since 2013 he has been an avowed opponent of rapprochement between the Pius Brotherhood and the Vatican and supports Bishop Richard Williamson, who was excluded from that brotherhood, by founding the La Resistenca movement (also known as the Marcel Lefebvre Community of Priests ). In 2014 he was expelled from the Pius Brotherhood.

On March 19, 2015, Richard Williamson Faure consecrated Faure as bishop in the Brazilian monastery of Santa Cruz in Nova Friburgo (state of Rio de Janeiro ) without papal approval . Both fell through this act according to Catholic canon law the automatic penalty of excommunication. The Pius Brotherhood sharply condemned the episcopal ordination and also rejected comparisons with the four episcopal ordinations by Lefebvre in 1988. Bishop Williamson and Faure would obviously no longer recognize the Roman authorities and would only pay lip service.

Faure resides with the traditionalist Fraternité Saint-Dominique, which until recently was close to the Pius Brothers, in the monastery de la Haye-aux-Bonshommes in Avrillé (Maine-et-Loire) .
