For those of us who refuse to confess to priests ordained in the dubious new rite...have you managed to find a local valid priest to confess to when your SSPX/resistance/sede priests are not in town? I think its definitely helpful to understand who the valid clergy members are near you, even of they adhere to newchurch.

Anyone found any Eastern rite priests to confess to when no other priest is around?

What about different orders like for example the Norbertines? Did they go full Novus Ordo or did they keep their rite after Vatican 2?

Looking for a valid priest nearby can prove to be a task. Found one ordained in 1970 by a valid bishop but seems it would've been the new rite, so not sure what to think of him.

Hope to get some interesting responses.

The date of ordination may not be the only qualifying fact for a valid ordination.
I recently ( 1-2 years ago) had an in depth conversation with a NO priest ordained
in the late 1970's.
He swore our elderly bishop refused the new rite of ordination and continued with the old
until he retired in his '80's.  I believe him as I knew this bishop and this priest is very
open and above board.  A beautiful priest albeit taking his vow of obedience too far.

Surely this bishop wasn't the only one.  I wonder how many other bishops did the same
without advertising the fact.

Bishop John of the Melkites (Eastern Catholics) was invited to attend many consecrations of bishops being ordained according to the new rite. He would lay his hands on the newly consecrated bishops to insure that they received valid consecrations.

OP here.

I found out recently that my local SSPX priest has a prominent, conservative Novus Ordo priest, so I think he was never ordained sub conditione. It bothers the heck outta me. I can't always make the drive to the sedevacantist chapel. Found out there is a Norbertine saying Latin Mass with the diocese (apparently Novus Ordo ordained as well). He shares his historic church with an eastern rite group I'm not familiar with out of India. Feeling a little iffy about them but I'm sure they're valid- just probably complete modernists- not sure about that part, I'd have to actually investigate for myself. The norbertine advises me that there are retired priests in the area who would probably hear my confession and give me the absolution in English (not a problem for me).

I really need to find one confessor near me to trust, but it's a bit hard in our times.

"Pope" Francis may not even be a priest, as he is ordained in the new rite by a new consecration formula bishop.
