We received direct confirmation from Saint Isidore's that a canonical review was performed by the SSPX and it was decided NOT to perform a conditional ordination.

Can you cite something from the SSPX or Archbishop Lefebvre that backs up what you're saying?
Better! I was a seminarian in the late 1980s. I was there at Winona and this was my own personal experience. Bishop Williamson conditionally confirmed all seminarians who had been confirmed in the Novus Ordo. A few years earlier, Archbishop Lefebvre had done the same at Ridgefield.

Were you associated with the SSPX five, four, even three decades ago?

No, it's not better. I'm asking about an official policy for the SSPX, or a quote from +ABL. Not a personal experience.

Yes, this was the OFFICIAL policy at St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary. You clearly had no connection to the Society in those days or you would know this. Plus, you what a written policy or statement. That was not how things worked back then. 🤦‍♂️

I suspect that were thd SSPX is return to the behaviours and attitudes of its priests, seminarians, religious, and laity as they were in the 1980s, you would speed off to the FSSP or ICK.

So, personal experience from someone on a forum is always better than an official policy. Sounds very Vatican ll. 

You want to make it about individual persons. I'm not interested in that. This isn't high school.
