  • Lad, what kind of reasoning is this: an ordination Rite with a possible doubt hanging over it = a doubtful ordination Rite = = Bogus Ordination = fake priest. That's some wild conjecture. Moreover, you have no premise - you have not clarified why there is a doubt over the new Ordination Rite (if it involves a single component or several or conditional); you have not clarified or outlined the SSPX's original policy and compared it to their current policy. You have not clarified what the 'Conditional Ordination' is, how it is applied, when, and by whom. No, all you've done is taken a perceived doubt (in that nothing has been established) and turned it into "a fake priest allowed by the SSPX". That's propaganda.

    You even have the audacity to label it a "Positive Doubt" without proving how this legal term even applies. 'Positive' means that there's something you can point to specifically and canonically that gives reason for the 'doubt'.

    And then there is the question of authority. Are individuals allowed to pass judgement according to this positive doubt? You state that His Lordship Bishop Williamson personally believed the new ordination Rite to be valid and yet chose to conditionally ordain to appeal to the doubters. Who is leading who here? 

    Personally I care little about you setting up your list of "transparency" - knock yourselves out - but using it as a tool to defame and cast doubt on the SSPX is wrong and misleading.

    It's already been mansplained to you by several posters who know what they're talking about.  Not "possible" doubt.  POSITIVE doubt.  You don't even know the theological terms involved.  Ordinations laboring under postiive doubt are to be treated as invalid by the faithful (as taught by the Magisterium).  Only difference is in danger of death where one might seek Sacraments laboring under postiive doubt if there's no other alternative available.

  • You even have the audacity to label it a "Positive Doubt" without proving how this legal term even applies. 'Positive' means that there's something you can point to specifically and canonically that gives reason for the 'doubt'.

    Postive means that there's something you can point to.  Period.  You make garbage up about "canonically", a nonsensical term that doesn't apply to this question.  Positive differs from negative only in that the latter is a "what if" type of doubt, i.e. where you cannot concretely verify validity in a particular case, i.e. "what if Father mess up the consecration at Mass today."

    It's simple fact, admitted by the SSPX even, in the first video that Robinson had to then come out and do damage control on ... that there were very significant changes made to the episcopal rite of consecration, and that the rite itself has no precedent in Tradition.

    That suffices for postiive doubt.

    Anonymous Troll can take you crap somewhere else.  You're free to decide that the Novus Ordo Presbyters are all valid and go to as many of their Masses as you like.

    But your buffoonery has not authority to impose your (idiotic self-serving) conclusions on anyone else ... so you can stand up here opining until you're blue in the face.

    Now, this thread is for people who with to report SSPX Fake Priests, not for your stupidity.  Take it somewhere else if you want to start a thread attempting to prove the validity of Bogus Ordo Orders.  Of course, you can't ... since the burden of proof is on you to prove validity, and you can't do it, since you lack the authority to do so.

  • It's blank. I expected a list of invalid priests.

    You have to follow the links.  It's under the "Gallery" section.  At some point those will be pinned on the new page.

    It's notice that you "expect" something ... but for everyone sitting back expecting stuff, very few are actually making contributions to the list.

    Reminds me of how it took a non-Resistance guy here to try helping the Resistance Priests in Nigeria by setting up a donation site, and then it took weeks before we got a trickle of donations come in on a "Resistance Forum".

  • 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..

  • Apostolicae Curae ... 30-33

    30. For the full and accurate understanding of the Anglican Ordinal, besides what we have noted as to some of its parts, there is nothing more pertinent than to consider carefully the circuмstances under which it was composed and publicly authorized. It would be tedious to enter into details, nor is it necessary to do so, as the history of that time is sufficiently eloquent as to the animus of the authors of the Ordinal against the Catholic Church; as to the abettors whom they associated with themselves from the heterodox sects; and as to the end they had in view. Being fully cognizant of the necessary connection between faith and worship, between “the law of believing and the law of praying”, under a pretext of returning to the primitive form, they corrupted the Liturgical Order in many ways to suit the errors of the reformers. For this reason, in the whole Ordinal not only is there no clear mention of the sacrifice, of consecration, of the priesthood (sacerdotium), and of the power of consecrating and offering sacrifice but, as we have just stated, every trace of these things which had been in such prayers of the Catholic rite as they had not entirely rejected, was deliberately removed and struck out.

    31. In this way, the native character or spirit as it is called of the Ordinal clearly manifests itself. Hence, if, vitiated in its origin, it was wholly insufficient to confer Orders, it was impossible that, in the course of time, it would become sufficient, since no change had taken place. In vain those who, from the time of Charles I, have attempted to hold some kind of sacrifice or of priesthood, have made additions to the Ordinal. In vain also has been the contention of that small section of the Anglican body formed in recent times that the said Ordinal can be understood and interpreted in a sound and orthodox sense. Such efforts, we affirm, have been, and are, made in vain, and for this reason, that any words in the Anglican Ordinal, as it now is, which lend themselves to ambiguity, cannot be taken in the same sense as they possess in the Catholic rite. For once a new rite has been initiated in which, as we have seen, the Sacrament of Order is adulterated or denied, and from which all idea of consecration and sacrifice has been rejected, the formula, “Receive the Holy Ghost”, no longer holds good, because the Spirit is infused into the soul with the grace of the Sacrament, and so the words “for the office and work of a priest or bishop”, and the like no longer hold good, but remain as words without the reality which Christ instituted.

    32. Many of the more shrewd Anglican interpreters of the Ordinal have perceived the force of this argument, and they openly urge it against those who take the Ordinal in a new sense, and vainly attach to the Orders conferred thereby a value and efficacy which they do not possess. By this same argument is refuted the contention of those who think that the prayer, “Almighty God, giver of all good Things”, which is found at the beginning of the ritual action, might suffice as a legitimate “form” of Orders, even in the hypothesis that it might be held to be sufficient in a Catholic rite approved by the Church.

    33. With this inherent defect of “form” is joined the defect of “intention” which is equally essential to the Sacrament. The Church does not judge about the mind and intention, in so far as it is something by its nature internal; but in so far as it is manifested externally she is bound to judge concerning it. A person who has correctly and seriously used the requisite matter and form to effect and confer a sacrament is presumed for that very reason to have intended to do (intendisse) what the Church does. On this principle rests the doctrine that a Sacrament is truly conferred by the ministry of one who is a heretic or unbaptized, provided the Catholic rite be employed. On the other hand, if the rite be changed, with the manifest intention of introducing another rite not approved by the Church and of rejecting what the Church does, and what, by the institution of Christ, belongs to the nature of the Sacrament, then it is clear that not only is the necessary intention wanting to the Sacrament, but that the intention is adverse to and destructive of the Sacrament.

  • Pope Leo XII clearly teaches that the Church does not judge the intention of the minister, but the intention of the Rite, and the intention of the Rite was made clear by virtue of the fact that the heretic "reformers" removed as many quintessentially-Catholic elements as they could from the Rite in order that the Rite no longer contradict their heresies and errors.  THAT is what he teaches constitutes the "intention" of the Rite.  He then says that any attempts to rectify the original defect of the essential form is meaningless, since it's vitiated by the larger context of the entire Rite, namely, the aforementioned elimination of the Catholic elements from the Rite.  This is 1000% what the Conciliar "reformers" did to the Catholic Sacramental Rites, whether the Sacrifice of the Mass or the different Rites of Holy Orders.  We've had one Traditional Catholic study after another show how they systematically expunged references to sacrifice from the various Rites, and it's the very same reason that Pope Leo XIII gives for rendering the Anglican Rite "absolutely invalid, null, and void" ... due to its methodical removal of any references to sacrifice from the Rites.

  • Pope Leo XIII, as we have seen, taught that the intention of the Anglical Ordination Rite was shown to have been vitiated by the deliberate removal of all references to sacrifice from the Ordinal.  Hmmm.  Where have we seen that in more recent times.  Oh, yeah ... now I remember.






    Pope Leo XIII, Apostolicase Curae ...

    ... they corrupted the Liturgical Order in many ways to suit the errors of the reformers. For this reason, in the whole Ordinal not only is there no clear mention of the sacrifice, of consecration, of the priesthood (sacerdotium), and of the power of consecrating and offering sacrifice but, as we have just stated, every trace of these things which had been in such prayers of the Catholic rite as they had not entirely rejected, was deliberately removed and struck out.  ... In this way, the native character or spirit as it is called of the Ordinal clearly manifests itself.

    Ah, yes, SSPX !  Yes, it's just that one word "ut" that was removed, right ... you dishonest gaslighting fools !

    This is so obvious, and yet so easily forgotten. In other words, they are dishonest, and are absolutely not to be trusted.

    Once you start imposing doubtful sacraments on the faithful, you have really no reason to be there, since the main reason for priests to exist is to provide the sacraments.

  • Katherine Emmerich:

    Quote
    “I saw that many pastors allowed themselves to be taken up with ideas that were dangerous to the Church. They were building a great, strange, and extravagant Church. Everyone was to be admitted in it in order to be united and have equal rights: Evangelicals, Catholics, sects of every description. Such was to be the new Church ... But God had other designs. ... I saw again the new and odd‑looking church which they were trying to build. There was nothing holy about it ... People were kneading bread in the crypt below ... but it would not rise, nor did they receive the body of our Lord, but only bread. Those who were in error, through no fault of their own, and who piously and ardently longed for the Body of Jesus were spiritually consoled, but not by their communion.”

  • And what do we make of the SSPX nonsense about "judging each particular case"?  Virtually every NO bishop in America was consecrated post 1968, so necessarily this fact alone calls into doubt every NO ordination.  Take for instance Cardinal Arinze, he was consecrated a bishop in 1965.  Ok, he is a bishop.  But if he uses the Novus Ordo rite, absolutely do I call into question the validity of the ordination. 

    The SSPX wants to dance with the modernists, which is nothing more than a dance with the devil.

  • And to add to what was I said above, the principle as I learned it is:  If the traditional formula is used, then we presume the intention.  But, if the modernist formula is used, we must presume an ill intention, or at least a modernist intention.  And nothing seems to be said of the orthodoxy of these NO bishops.  Take for instance Cardinal Bernardin, he was a valid bishop.  But what guy in his right mind would go to Bernardin for ordination?  The guy was a ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ, borderline Luciferian; at least an outright modernist liberal. Even if Bernardin used the orthodox formula, one would be insane to go to him for ordination.

    'Positive doubt' is a canonical term applied after a Rite or the administration of a sacrament has been found, by the correct authorities and in accordance to specific guidelines , to be lacking in some essential element to render it possibly invalid. Now you are correct when you state that very significant changes have been made to the episcopal rite of consecration, but has it been established as invalid? No. Has a 'positive doubt' been established? Certainly there are serious reasons to cause one to have doubts - not knowing one way or another - but has a 'Positive doubt' been established?

    You make mention of the Anglican Rite that Pope Leo XIII declared to be "absolutely invalid, null, and void" but this has no bearing on the Catholic New Rite as it have not been declared upon. In fact, as we have established, even his Lordship Williamson believed the New Rite to be valid. Why was that? We have also established that His Grace Archbishop Lefebvre only re-ordained when each individual case was investigated on its own merits; not simply because they were ordained in the New Rite. Why was that?

    Now along comes Mr. Ladislaus who declares that the SSPX are all modernists because they do not treat the New Rite of Ordinations as invalid as he wants them to. And this is the crux of the matter isn't it? I am a traditional Catholic of the Roman Catholic Church. I am not a member of your personal church. If no 'positive doubt' has been established in the New Rite, if it has not been declared as invalid, then I as a Catholic must be content with this ruling trusting that the SSPX will make the right decision about each individual case as it has always done. It is the same of the New Rite Mass. You have declared it invalid. You have no right or authority to do that. You can think it if you want but you cannot impose that on other Catholics. Out of principle, I would never attend a New Rite Mass, but neither do I condemn a fellow Catholic for going to one. Bishop Williamson was of this mindset too. As I said, if it gives your personal peace of mind to formulate this list of transparency, then go for it, do your best - make sure you get those child abusers on there too. But don't use it as tool to bash the SSPX with. That's your own personal beef and has no place here.

    .

    Which canon are you referring to?

    There is also positive doubt when incorrect words are used for the form. Pius XII defined what words are the form of Holy Orders. The new rite does not use those words.

    This has all been decided by the Church already. We are not just expressing our own opinions when we say the new rite is doubtful.
