 On 26 July 1962 the Chapter General of the Holy Ghost Fathers elected Lefebvre as the Superior General . Lefebvre was widely respected for his experience in the mission field . On the other hand , certain progressive members of his congregation , particularly in France , considered his administrative style authoritarian and desired radical reforms . On 7 August 1962 Lefebvre was given the titular archiepiscopal see of Synnada in Phrygia .
