Father Fewell
« on: June 04, 2024, 08:21:34 PM »
The SSPX Charlotte chapel has been informed that there will be a priest staying in the area and offering Mass during the week. The name given is Father Fewell. A few of us have searched and could only find a priest by that name who is under a diocese in California. 
Does anyone know of a traditional priest by that name?
Thank you in advance!

Definitely appears to be an NO refugee / transplant.  Odds are very high that he’s not been conditionally ordained.  I would advise avoiding him until his validity can be confirmed.  I would just call and ask.  You could start discretely.  “Father, where are you from?”  Then ask “How long have you been a priest?” and “Which bishop(s) have you been under?” and finally “Which bishop ordained you?”  This indirect line of questioning is more likely to get information than if you just ask “Are you valid or not?” since it can disarm what might otherwise be a defensive posture.

Fr. Fewell is based out of St. Isidore's.  He's been there a year ow two. I do not believe he's been conditionally ordained.

It has never been the policy of the SSPX, or was it a policy with +ABL, to always conditionally re-ordain a priest who goes to them from the conciliar church. Each case is investigated so as to determine whether or not a conditional ordination is necessary. Of course nowadays with the SSPX, they are probably not as careful about determining whether or not a priest's original ordination was valid, but the SSPX has never believed, even under +ABL, that NO ordinations are always invalid.
