There's no requirement ONLY because the Church it's operating effectively today.  If it were, then the novus ordo would be considered a heresy and schismatic sect, just like the Arians and Anglicans, and then, YES, there would be a requirement.  But we're in the middle of a spiritual war, so some things don't happen as they should.


99% of "catholics" in the novus ordo are material heretics.  A profession of faith and an abjuration of heresy is the normal course of action, to correct such individuals.  It's also a matter of charity (correction of scandal) and justice, since a person who openly and publicly believes in heresy should have to publicly abjure/denounce this heresy, and publicly accept the Faith.  This being so that those who are not part of the novus ordo, but who may be interiorly tempted by this false religion, may see the dangers and errors of this spiritually dangerous "religion".

Your argument is stupid.  Plenty of older, old-school, Trad priests required such.  Because they recognized that V2 is a schismatic sect and people need to unlearn many heresies. 


The only Trads who wouldn’t require an abjuration of V2 heresies would be those who (like the new-sspx) don’t see anything wrong with V2.  And we see where that’s left the new-sspx…they can’t even criticize “pope” Francis. 

Outside of the new-sspx (which is indult not truly Traditional), most Trad orgs do require an abjuration.  It’s the normal thing to do.

8. Those who are returning from the Novus Ordo to the beliefs and practices of Roman Catholicism may not receive sacraments until (1) they manifest their resolve to utterly repudiate Vatican II and its reforms, (2) it is determined that they are sufficiently instructed in the Catholic Faith, and (3) are free from any impediments to receiving the sacraments, particularly invalid marriages and cohabitation, or any other public sin.

It's not EXACTLY the same thing, but in practice, it is.  It's two sides of the same coin.  If you "repudiate errors" of V2, this means you are "abjuring errors" of your past life, which is an indirect way of professing your faith in Tradition/Orthodoxy.


V2 teaches the faith, but it's a corrupt faith.  So if the priest instructs the person on which parts of the Faith are corrupted, and they learn the Truth, then by "repudiating" the corruption, you are, in effect, professing your faith in the non-corruptible Truth.

Most V2 catholics (of good will) are material heretics, which means they *think/want* to profess the Faith.  They'll readily agree with saying the Creed, the Catechism, etc.  "Professing the Faith" is not the problem; getting rid of their corrupt understanding of certain doctrines, is the problem.

So if they repudiate their errors, they are correcting their personal faith in the Church, which was always there (just defective).
