De Pauw has been banned for libel against +Lefebvre as well as dogmatic "home aloneism" which is NOT permitted on CathInfo.
My guess is that he's angry about the SSPX "injustice" against Fr. Kramer in not allowing him to say the funeral Mass for Fr. Gruner, and making Fr. Kramer cry as a result. So now he's attacking the SSPX at its root (the episcopacy of +Lefebvre)
Sorry, emotions don't determine the truth.
Here is a good quote from the above link. I bet this situation would give a lot of Trads -- especially home aloners -- the willies. They would be tempted to leave the Catholic Church over this!
The Concordat with Napoleon required the exiled FAITHFUL bishops to resign their office, while the bishops consecrated by Talleyrand (read about him below) got to keep their offices -- no conditional ordination necessary!
THAT is the mind of the Church on this matter. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
Talleyrand publicly said sacrilegious Masses. After most of the traditional and loyal bishops fled France, it fell his lot to consecrate (together with the infamous apostate, Bishop Gobel) all the "Constitutional Bishops" that replaced them. After this act, he took off his ecclesiastical attire and never wore it again. His own priests, the Cathedral Chapter of Autun, described him as deserving "infamy in this world and damnation in the next."
One must not imagine that Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ was an unknown entity in those days. Popes Clement XII (1730-1740), Benedict XIV (1740-1758) and Clemenr XIII (1758-1769) had already clearly condemned it.
Talleyrand was excommunicated by a pontifical brief in April, 1791. This excommunication was later lifted, on condition that he lived a life of celibacy. He promptly married, then exiled his wife to England and formed a series of "alliances" from which several illegitimate offspring resulted. He was a bad priest, an apostate bishop, a Freemason, a Christian barred from communion and an individual who for forty-nine years could not receive the sacraments of the Church.
Now, the point of all this is that most of the bishops of France derived their Apostolic Succession through Talleyrand and his two associates (also supporters of the Revolution). Not only were all Talleyrand's episcopal consecrations recognized, but when the Concordat between Napoleon and Pope Pius VII was signed, the exiled bishops who had remained loyal to Pope Pius VI were asked to resign.
Rome allowed the bishops of the Constitutional Church, all of whom derived their orders from the Mason Talleyrand, to remain in their positions, as diocesan ordinaries. The fact that Talleyrand was a Mason and a revolutionary made no difference.

To sum up what we have said:
(1) There is no credible evidence which shows that Cardinal Lienart was a Freemason.
(2) If Cardinal Lienart had been a Freemason, it would not have invalidated the sacraments he conferred.
(3) The case of Talleyrand demonstrates in the practical order that the Church does not regard ordinations performed by Freemasons as invalid.
(And the article leaves out the fact that there were CO-CONSECRATOR(S) at +Lefebvre's consecration, rendering the status of Cardinal Lienart a moot point.)
