In a matter so grave as Sacramental validity, we must abstain where the suspicion is credible.
A suspicion is only credible when it's based on facts.  A suspicion without facts is just a fantasy.

Why is the suspicion credible/believable?  Based on what?

Trying to say that it is about "evidence" is a deliberate (and quite frankly retarded) distraction.
Canon Law says that doubts must be based on evidence.  If there's no evidence, then you're acting like a child who lives through imagination.

The fact of whether he withheld intention the whole way along his career can only be verified by the man himself.
I have repeated this multiple times now. You are clearly showing how stubborn you are, and quite frankly just autistic at this point. Not even an attempt to be objective.

We would have evidence if he was alive to tell us that he withheld intention. We cant get that now. So the whole thing is inconclusive. 

Dont be a moron. If you have inconclusivity in such a serious matter you are morally obliged to abstain.

Stop leading folks to hell by encouraging them to go to CMRI.

Ok, so you admit that we cannot verify this.  Which means that there is no proof.

If something is inconclusive, then it can't be credible/believable.  Do you not understand this?

No, it's the exact opposite.  Canon Law takes the approach of "sacraments are valid until proven otherwise".

If you were going to prove invalidity, there are 2 steps along the way - 

a) facts which show the sacrament was doubtfully valid. (canon law calls this "positive doubt")
b) final determination of invalid.

You don't even have any evidence to support step (a).  There is no evidence to suggest that +Thuc withheld his intention, except people's opinion.  An opinion isn't a fact.  WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE, then YOU MUST PRESUME VALIDITY.  This is church law.

Stop ignoring canon law.

Tom, you have been corrected multiple times about this "Thuc withholding his intention" thing. It never happened. You are a diabolical liar.

Thuc was alive for many years after performing these consecrations, and yet, he never said he simulated them or withheld intention. Why would that change if he were brought back to life? Do you have absolute certainty that the bishop who ordained your parish priest did not withhold his intention during the ceremony? Have you asked the bishop?

This retard really just said that asking for evidence is misleading and a distraction. :laugh1::laugh1::laugh1:

Easily scandalized Tom can't get past all of the weird stories he has heard about Thuc! Let us flip Tom's autistic logic around and point it back at him: "My name is Tom, I have not seen Bishop Williamson's baptismal certificate and since he was an Anglican and harbored a gαy priest, I have personal doubts about the validity of his consecration because: 'weird story makes me scared'". Tom grow up. If you had been born during the 4th century and had heard some of the stories told about weak priests, you would have been a Donatist. You are currently a neo-Donatist.

All of the arguments against Thuc are controverted at this point. That is why Tom does not want "evidence," he prefers listening only to a vague personal gut feeling.

If I have to make a decision between Dominican theologian Guerard des Lauriers or layman Kimmage, I'll be sticking with des Lauriers.
