Bernard Tissier de Mallerais, SSPX (born 14 September 1945) is a French Traditionalist Roman Catholic bishop of the Society of Saint Pius X.
Pope John Paul II issued Tissier an automatic excommunication latae sententiae after he received Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre's unauthorized consecration on 30 June 1988, deemed by the Holy See to be "unlawful" and "a schismatic act",Pope Benedict XVI remitted the excommunication on 21 January 2009.
Tissier de Mallerais was born in Sallanches, Haute-Savoie, France. After obtaining a university degree in biology, he entered the International Seminary of Saint Pius X at Fribourg in October 1969. On June 29, 1975 he was ordained priest by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre at Écône. He served first as a professor, then as vice-rector, and finally as rector of the seminary at Écône. Then he was appointed Secretary General of the SSPX.
In June 1988 Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre announced his intention to consecrate de Mallerais and three other priests (Bernard Fellay, Richard Williamson, and Alfonso de Galarreta) as bishops. Lefebvre did not have a pontifical mandate for these consecrations (i.e. permission from the pope), normally required by Canon 1382 of the Code of Canon Law. On June 17, 1988 Cardinal Bernardin Gantin, prefect of the Congregation for Bishops sent the four priests a formal canonical warning that he would automatically incur the penalty of excommunication if they were to be consecrated by Lefebvre without papal permission.
