Sedevacantist Bishop Clarence Kelly, a prominent figure in the traditionalist Catholic movement, has passed away at the age of 84. Born on September 24, 1939, in the United States, Bishop Kelly dedicated his life to the preservation and promotion of traditional Catholicism.

Bishop Kelly’s journey in the Catholic Church began when he was ordained as a priest on April 14, 1973, by Marcel Lefebvre, the founder of the Society of St. Pius X. He later joined the Society of St. Pius V, which is known for its adherence to traditional Catholic practices and rejection of the reforms brought about by the Second Vatican Council.

In recognition of his dedication and contributions to the sedevacantist movement, Bishop Kelly was consecrated as a bishop on October 19, 1993, by Bishop Alfredo Méndez-Gonzalez. As a sedevacantist, he believed that the papal see has been vacant since the death of Pope Pius XII in 1958, rejecting the legitimacy of the subsequent popes.

Throughout his life, Bishop Kelly actively advocated for the preservation of traditional Catholic liturgy and doctrine. He firmly believed in the importance of maintaining the Latin Mass and opposed the changes introduced by the Second Vatican Council, which he viewed as a departure from the true teachings of the Church.

Bishop Kelly was widely respected within the sedevacantist community and was known for his knowledge and unwavering commitment to traditional Catholicism. His extensive writings and lectures on the subject have left a lasting legacy, inspiring many to embrace the traditional practices of the faith.

While his views were controversial within the broader Catholic community, Bishop Kelly’s dedication to his beliefs and his contributions to the sedevacantist movement cannot be denied. His passing marks the end of an era for traditionalist Catholics, who mourn the loss of a steadfast advocate for the preservation of their faith.

The sedevacantist community bids farewell to Bishop Clarence Kelly, expressing gratitude for his lifelong commitment to the traditional Catholic cause. May he rest in peace..
