==Creation and Beginnings==
The Society of St. Pius X <ref>https://sspx.org/en</ref> originated as a reaction to the reforms of the Second Vatican Council within the Catholic Church. In 1968, a group of French seminarians grew concerned with the orthodoxy of their priestly training due to the [[New Left]] ideology which had infiltrated their seminaries.<ref>http://www.sspx.org/SSPX_FAQs/appendix_iii_history_1.htm</ref> As a result, they sought out the recently retired Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, with the request that he adopt the task of overseeing their priestly formation. Originally reluctant to get involved, Archbishop Lefebvre was persuaded to relent, and later said that it would have been an abandonment of Church Tradition if he had ignored them. Thus, International Priestly Society of St. Pius X was unofficially created.

In 1970, the Bishop of Lausanne, Geneva, and Fribourg, His Excellency Bishop Charriere, officially recognized the canonical validity of the new Society.<ref>http://www.sspx.org/SSPX_FAQs/q1_sspx.htm</ref> At the same time, a group of Swiss laymen offered their property in Econe to the Archbishop as a seminary for future priests.
