Elizabeth - you are deceitful. The cmri brought their founder to court and sued him. That was only after they were compromised for following a psuedo pope sɛҳuąƖly abusive druggy cult leader. Watch the what catholics believe episode on apb. Lefebvre. In it they say nothing but good things about his character.
Prove my deceit, PG. (but you can't) More accurately, I know first hand quite a bit more than I have written about the sspv. Are you 100% morally certain that there are SSPV clergy who have no criminal traits/habits?
Nobody denies how horrible the Schuckhardt years were. Schuckhardt was not answerable to anyone. Well guess what, neither is Jenkins; Bishop Santay told me so personally.
They reformed. Jenkins says that is insufficient. He states they are not Catholics. Anybody who has "tainted" himself with Thuc line Sacraments may not receive Communion. In fact people whom they dislike are denied Communion.
Spends years weaving this guilt by association myth. All of those Baptised lay Catholics are not really Catholic because they are tainted by Schuckhardt.
People like you and I believe[d] this rubbish, because we love our priests, because we want to be Catholic in a world falling apart at the seams, because we have been burned by the apostasy and corruption in the N.O. It might never occur to us that priests who are so careful in offering Masses admired for their decorum might not be at all so careful in other important areas of Catholic life.
SSPV offers the "purest" sacraments in the whole wide world. In fact, they have invented a sacrament shortage, and only those in their personal opinion who are worthy are allowed to have them. This is not to say that some slip over to Thuc line clergy, but they have special privileges.
Yes, Jenkins has good things to say about Abp. Lefebvre, but he was part of the group who stole very valuable property from the Archbishop, and sued him. Wouldn't actions be speaking louder than words in this case? Did they bother to tell you that it is unlawful for priests to sue their superiors?
