On 29 July 1931, des Lauriers was ordained a priest.[citation needed]
In 1933, he became a professor of philosophy at the Dominican school of theology Le Saulchoir, in Belgium. In 1940, he received a doctorate in mathematics with thesis Sur les systèmes différentiels du second ordre qui admettent un groupe continu fini de transformations.[4]
In 1979, worried about Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and a possible deal with the Vatican among other things, des Lauriers wrote to Lefebvre warning him.[6]
On 7 May 1981, after long consideration, des Lauriers was consecrated a bishop by the sedevacantist bishop Thuc in Toulon, France. He was thus excommunicated from the Catholic Church in March 1983 by Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger.[7]
Des Lauriers consecrated two bishops: Günther Storck (a German) on 30 April 1984, and Robert McKenna (an American) on 22 August 1986.
Death and legacy
Des Lauriers died in Cosne-sur-Loire, France, on 27 February 1988, at the age of 89. He is buried in Raveau, France.[2]
