ACTS 4
4 And falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, Marcel, Marcel (MOLES MOLES) why persecutest thou me? 5 Who said: Who art thou, Lord? And he: I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
HAYDOCK CATHOLIC BIBLE COMMENTARY ON THE NEW TESTAMENT
ACTS 9
CHAPTER IX.
Ver. 4. Why dost thou persecute me? My disciples, my brothers, and my friends. The head speaks for the members, and by a figure of speech, calls them itself. S. Aug. in Ps. xxx. — Here Jesus Christ identifies himself with his Church, as on a former occasion, when he said: he that heareth you, heareth me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth me. Lu. x. 16.
Ver. 5. To kick against the goad. Others translate against the pricks; others, against the sting. The metaphor is taken from oxen kicking, when pricked to go forward. Wi.
Ver. 7. There it shall be told thee, &c. The Almighty having established a Church, and ministry, the depositories of his doctrines, does not, even on this extraordinary occasion, transgress his own laws; but sends him to the ministers of religion, that instruction may be imparted through them, as through its proper channel. This observation is worthy the notice of the self-inspired of the present day, who pretend to receive their light direct from heaven. Nothing can be more opposite to the spirit of the gospel than such delusion. A. — Hear the great S. Augustin: "Paul, though with the divine and heavenly voice prostrated and instructed, yet was sent to a man to receive the sacraments, and to be joined to the Church." De Doct. Chris. l. i. in prœm. — Hearing, &c. This may be reconciled with what is said in the 22d chap. by supposing they heard only S. Paul speak, or heard only a confused noise, which they could not understand. Calmet.
Marcel Lefebvre and his MOLES (Members of Lefebvre's Execrable Schism) daily attack the Catholic Church Jesus purchased with His blood but Marcel didn't care nor do his MOLES.
They presume to speak for Jesus and His Church and during his consecration sermon for the illegal consecration, Mons Lefebvre was so delusional that even dared to claim The Blessed Virgin Mary had, centuries earlier, identified him as the one who would save the Catholic Church

As the most recent statement sent by Fr. P. to Pope Leo XIV, (the subtext of which is the question -, when will you admit it is our schism which has authority?) illustrates, as the shadow of Lefebvre lengthens it strengthens.
