AGAIN ... this thread isn't for the pro-neo-SSPX trolls who have decided that Novus Ordo Presbyters are valid priests. You're free to do as you like and go receive as many cookies as you wish for "Communion". It's entirely up to you.
Instead, this thread is for the rest of us who simply and objectively look at the evidence and have come to the conclusion that there's clearly something there. Yeah, those enemies who infiltrated the Church and decided to wreck as much as they can, sure, let's TRUST them now to not have vitiated the Sacraments. That's all the "postive" that is required. In addition, I would conclude there's objective positive doubt even if I myself became convinced that they were valid. Why? Simply because many intelligent, educated, orthodox Catholics have arrived at that conclusion in good faith.
So, the SSPX continue to gaslight by dishonestly leveraging the notion of how the RE-administration of a "character" Sacrament constitutes the mortal sin of sacrilege. Uhm, that's precisely why the CONDITIONAL form was invented, to prevent that possibility. If the man is already a priest, then no ordination takes place, per that form. But SSPX conflate this notion of sacrilege to dishonestly apply it to when a CONDITIONAL can be performed.
Now, it would certainly be a grave disrespect to the Sacrament is someone performed them conditionally for no reason whatsoever, giving them to anyone with a pulse, based on a "what if" ... as someone who is scrupulous or neurotic would do. But one may employ the CONDITIONAL form of the Sacrament based on any reasonable circuмstance, such as when a bunch of Modernists have wreaked havoc everywhere, replacing the Catholic Mass with something more akin to a Prot service, and in such circuмstances, to ease the consciences of the faithful when there are in fact many bishops, priests, and others who have concluded that there is positive doubt.
Imagine a lay Catholic who doesn't have much training in theology, and he hears a Bishop Sanborn or Father Jenkins or any other highly-intelligent and orthodox priest make a solid case for positive doubt. Now this layman is ordered by SSPX to accept their judgment ... and reject that of these other Bishops. Robinson, in his video, declares that the faithful should trust the SSPX priests and bishops. So, what are these other bishops and priests ... chopped liver?
But so a layman hears this controversy and perhaps can't sleep at night wondering if his family are not possibly getting invalid Sacraments from the Novus Ordo Presbyter who keeps showing up at their chapel.
So the SSPX torments their consciences ... and for what?
Oh, I'll tell you why ... and EVERYBODY KNOWS IT. These guys DID NOT come to this conclusion objectively or based on any solid theological reasoning, but simply because they NEED TO SAY THIS SO THEY CAN KEEP PLAYING FOOTSIE WITH MODERNIST ROME.
1000% that's the ONLY reasons they impose this crap on the faithful, since any suggestion to the contrary would scuttle any dreams they have of getting regularizied.
There's absolutely no justification for refusing to perform conditional ordinations. None whatsover ... except to appease the Modernists. Period. And, sadly, it's precisely what Archbishop Lefebvre did too in the early 1980s, throwing the US priests under the bus, sacrificing them on the altar of the Modernists, forcing them to accept Mr. Stark or else leave SSPX ... because that was during his conciliatory phase where he was begging Rome to allow him to make the "experiment of Tradition".
Also, at some point, the SSPX, decades ago, introduced this bogus "sleight of hand", where they pretend that the ONLY reason that the NO Orders MIGHT even possibly be invalid would be due to a defect of intention.
Bzzzzzzzt.
That is COMPLETELY the OPPOSITE of Catholic teaching, of what Pope Leo XIII taught in Apostolicase Curae. Pope Leo XIII explicitly teaches that the intention belongs in the internal forum, which not even the Church can judge ... but somehow the SSPX must have some committe of "soul-readers", like Padre Pios, who can discern the internal forum through some magical "investigation" methods. Idiotic.
Now, Pope Leo XIII taught clearly that the intention under scrutiny was the intention of the RITE, not of the minister. If the Rite is valid, as Robinson claims, then the correct intention is PRESUMED by the Church. There's no "investigation" necessary. Sadly, even the Resistance have maintained this charade regarding intention, and that's so they can have their cake and eat it too, so they can come up with a justification for why they might do condtionals sometimes but not at other times.
Pope Leo XIII CLEARLY teaches that EVEN IF the essential form is correct, the Sacrament would be invalid anyway if the intention of the Rite is defective. On what did Pope Leo base his discernment of the intention of the Rite ... on what was clearly a methodical attempt to remove as much as possible that was Catholic from the Rite. In other words, on EXACTLY what we Trads have as our talking points about what the Modernist were doing, removing all the quintessential Catholics elements from the Rite, trying to make it resemble the services of the heretics.
I urge everyone to actually read Apostolicae Curae, one of the only Magisterial treatments regarding the various aspects of validity and invalidity in the Sacramental Rites..
