“Fr.” Isaac Relyea tends to give thoroughly Catholic sounding, orthodox (with a small “o”) sermons and conferences.  As for his validity as a priest, unless I know he is validly ordained, I’ll stay clear of his Masses and Sacraments. His accent, though, is both valid and licit.  I do sometimes listen to his sermons online.  I figure even if he’s a layman, he’s very knowledgeable about the Catholic Faith and worth hearing.  I find him relatable as a fellow New Yorker.  It’s too bad some people don’t “get” his humor or accent.

Sorry, but Fr. Isaac Mary is one of the most courageous priests in the world right now. Very possibly a living saint, and why not? His zeal, his orthodoxy, his love of Our Lady. These are hallmarks of holiness.

Fr. Hesse wasn't conditionally ordained either, so you must also think of him as "Fr." Hesse. Going full Dimond Brother is ill-advised.

I can understand how most here have a doubt as to the validity of any NO priest who goes over to the SSPX, but I myself assume that each case will be investigated properly, as it always has been done in the SSPX. You provide Fr. Hesse as a good example, though he's rarely mentioned on this forum anymore, unfortunately.

The current SSPX opinion is that Leo is pope and the modernized Sacraments give grace.  What are we resisting here really.   For a humble lover of Christ it is not an impediment to use a known valid form for conditional reordination.  That is what "they" will be doing in their new ministry.

An other priest to add to Ladislaus' list? Is there a picture of him?
