Henri Le Floch
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Father Henri Le Floch was a Spiritan and the rector of the French Seminary (Collège Français) in Rome in the early 20th century until the late 1920s.[1]
He is chiefly remembered for the formative influence he had on Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, the founder of the traditionalist Roman Catholic Society of Saint Pius X.[2] He was suspected as a supporter of the right-wing political group Action Française, and his political views led to his removal from his position at the French College at the request of the French government.[3]
