I think what Tom was getting at is that he would rather have a priest (albeit schismatic) with Orders he doesn't doubt, as opposed to a Catholic who's Orders he does doubt and has treated as invalid up until that point. That is the difference. I would be interested to see if theologians dealt with that scenario (schismatic priest vs Catholic doubtful priest in danger of death)

The difference is probably more easily shown if it was a schismatic Orthodox priest and a Novus Ordo priest. Many trads hold Novus Ordo Orders to be doubtful, so it would seem to me that an Orthodox priest (if he would even be willing to provide the Sacraments) would be the safer course in danger of death

Glad you asked.

Saint Francis de Sales on mockery, taken from Introduction to the Devout Life.

“One of the worst conditions that a person can be in is to be a scoffer: God hates this vice extremely, and has in the past inflicted strange punishments for it. Nothing is so contrary to charity, and much more to devotion, as contempt and scorn for our neighbour. Now derision and mockery can never be indulged in without this contempt; and therefore it is a very grave sin, so that theologians are right in saying that mockery is the worst sort of offence that we can commit against our neighbour by words, because other offences are committed with some esteem of him who is offended, but this is committed with contempt and scorn.”

Of Propriety in words, and of the Respect Which We Owe to Others
