Here's the thing though.  These "validly ordained clergy" have no more authority than Heiner does.  NONE of them has any authority.  Both Heiner and these others have a right to their opinion, but NONE of them, whether clergy or not, have the authority to bind consciences with their opinions.

So, for instance, let's say I'm a priest.  While I could opine as much as I want about various aspects of the Church crisis, I would have absolutely zero authority to withhold the Sacraments from someone who happened to disagree with me.  THAT is where many of them cross the line.

By way of example, even though I firmly believe that the Conciliar Church is an imposter church that lacks the marks of the true Church, if a Conciliar Catholic showed up at my Mass to receive Holy Communion, I would not withhold it (unless I had moral reasons to believe otherwise, or knew him to be a manifest heretic).  I could not withhold the Sacraments based on MY opinion (rooted in nothing but my private judgment) regarding the Crisis.  As long as the person professed to be a Catholic and did not reject some clear teaching of the Church (e.g. the Immaculate Conception) and wasn't a public sinner, no Trad cleric has the right to impose their position on others' consciences.  Similarly, although I believe that the NO Sacraments are doubtful, I would not force someone to re-confess their sins to me before receiving Holy Communion.  I would express my opinion and would highly recommend it, but I would not IMPOSE that on anyone.

And that is true not only of your opinion and my opinion, but the opinion of Bishop Sanborn and Bishop Dolan and Bishop X and Bishop Y, and Father A and Father B and Father C.  None of these validly ordained clergy have the right to impose their opinions on the faithful.  Period.  End of story.  They can opine all they want, but that's as far as it goes.  It's not enough simply to be a valid priest or valid bishop.  Bishops X, Y, and Z are the equivalent of emergency auxiliary bishops, whose only role is to ensure that the faithful receive the Sacraments that priests cannot provide (e.g. confirmation and Holy Orders).  That is ALL.

OK, I've had about enough of this garbage, trad priests who are smarter than your average priest acting like they're theologians.  I knew an elderly priest who complained about this.  He said that the basic training a priest gets does not qualify them to be theologians.  You had to go to school several more years and get advanced degrees before you could even pretend that you knew what you were talking about.

We have basically these parish-priest-level-trained priests pontificating as if they were Doctors of the Church (and even excommunicating people based on their syllogisms).  I've had enough.  You guys are mere vagantes priests without authority, without jurisdiction, and absolutely without competence to play the part of theologians.  Your sole reason for existence is to be emergency providers of the Sacraments to the faithful in a time of crisis.

They bring shame upon Traditional Catholicism with this "remote material cooperation" crap.  Yes, it's crap.  They can regurgitate a phrase from page 215 of a theology manual they cursorily studied at seminary, without realizing that they're misunderstanding and misapplying the principle to this present situation.  Just because there's a phrase in a book "remote material cooperation" doesn't make the current situation a case of said remote material cooperation.  Stop pretending that this is a position rooted in Traditional Catholic theology just because you use a catch phrase.

It's no different than when Fr. Cekada caused scandal around the world against Traditional Catholicism by defending the murder of Terri Schiavo based on his always legalistic and Pharisaical interpretation of principles and law.  Same thing is going on here.

I'm getting sick of these priests.  They need to shut up, stop excommunicating everyone, stop pretending to be theologians or even Doctors of the Church simply because they secured consecration from a +Thuc bishop.  Even as bishops, they're nothing more than auxiliary bishops, again, to help dispense the Sacraments, and they have no more authority or standing or knowledge than that.

Most of these Trad "superiors" would be lucky to be appointed pastors of a church in the pre-Vatican II Church after 25 years of ordinary pastoral work.
