Yes, more and more this is becoming an issue with the SSPX. You can't just show up at a chapel and assume that there's no doubt about the priest sitting in the Confessional.
They used to publish a directory called Cor Unum in which the priests were listed along with details regarding when and where they were ordained. I doubt they have that floating around anywhere.
Good name for a priest though!!!
I agree. I wonder if they're related.
As I always say, I'm not Feeneyite, I'm "Feeney-
LITE" --- I will admit the possibility of someone being saved outside the visible corporate unity of the Church, but it's darned difficult.
If you follow the modern, Novus Ordo-fueled "economy of salvation", it is actually
easier for a non-Catholic, or even a non-Christian, to be saved, than it is for a Catholic, because their conscience accuses them of less, and since they supposedly can't be blamed for what they don't know, their "search for God" is going to be more primitive, and more atavistic, than that of a believer.
And if a dog had a square mouth, he'd eat bricks. (I bowdlerized that.)
