BiographyEdit
PriesthoodEdit
Marcel Lefebvre directed the Seminary of Saint Pius X's American priests to follow the 1962 liturgical books. Dolan and eight other American priests refused to do this. On 27 April 1983, these nine priests, along with some seminarians who were sympathetic to them, were promptly expelled from the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX) by Lefebvre, for their refusal to use the 1962 Missal and for other reasons, such as their resistance to Lefebvre's order that priests of the SSPX must accept the decrees of nullity handed down by diocesan marriage tribunals, and their disapproval of the SSPX's policy of accepting into the society new members who had been ordained to the priesthood according to the revised sacramental rites of Paul VI. Almost immediately, these priests formed the Society of Saint Pius V (SSPV).<ref name=cuneo>Cuneo, Michael W.The Smoke of Satan: Conservative and Traditionalist Dissent in Contemporary American Catholicism, JHU Press, 1999, pg. 96Template:ISBN</ref>
