  • Are there any sede priests who would accept feeneyites at their chapel is the question. If ?Fr? Crawford was ?ordained? By Neal Webster who I know is doubtful is there anyone else. The only sede chapels in my state (Victoria , Australia) don’t accept feeneyites. Am I allowed to go as a secret feeneyite? I don’t wish to hide things from priests but… 

    Even harder question - are there any seminaries that would accept a feeneyite

    Webster IMO was almost certainly valid ... with only a single question-mark.

    +Thuc consecrated Dominguez (Clemente Dominguez of Palmar de Troya fame).

    Clemente then consecrated a guy named Terrasson.

    There are two questions.  Terrason had only doubtfully been a priest, so had he been conditionally ordained before consecration by Dominguez?  Someone here produced a copy of the certificate indicating that he had been.  Seemed like a credible source to me and the cert looked real, but it may be something to look into.

    Second question is whether Clemente Dominguez, having had no actualy training, could properly confect the Rite and validly consecrate.

    Well, in the consecrations, two men who had been priests before Vatican II (and were also consecrated directly by +Thuc at the same time Clemente was) ... they acted as co-consecrators, so that can be presumed valid.

    Last piece of the puzzle.  Did these two men also help with the conditional ordination of Terrasson, or did Clemente go on his own?

    If the latter is where the one remaining question lies ... whether Clemente could be trusted to validly ordain Terrasson (assuming he didn't have priests helping / monitoring him).  Probably the one factor in his favor is that he spoke Spanish, a Romance language that is not too far removed from Latin.

    So my conclusion is that Webster was most likely valid, but Clemente gives me enough reason to have some reasonable probable doubt ... so I would not approach that line for Sacraments except if I had no other option in danger of death.
