The Bible speaks of dogs who don't bark---rather scathingly, at that. Those priests and bishops who were ordained or consecrated using the false/invalid prescription are not priests or bishops. Some (only God knows how many) among the NO are valid priests and bishops. Gives one a headache doing the math and guessing if their entrance to the office pre or post dated the change.

But even still, those in the NO are part and parcel of a heresy, so there is still great danger in listening to them, although the command to obedience is still in effect with the valid clergy. It's a nightmare, hazardous to your mental and spiritual health. I avoid it if at all possible and cling to my good CMRI bishop, seeking his counsel as much as I can.

Bottom line for me regarding the talk, talk: pray and do penance or at least offer up whatever little sufferings I have and pass on whatever info may help others. Another point comes to mind about all this and the other threads on today's stinkin' thinkin'. We may not achieve decontamination in this life, and if we do I am inclined to consider it a miracle. We are simply too steeped in weird attitudes and error.

If you are warning people about a priest or bishop (for the good of their souls), then that is a different story. What I got from reading the priests article, is that certain Catholics are overdoing it. For instance, we all know about liturgical abuses. So what good does it do if a person posts videos of the latest abuse at this or that church - we know it happens. The only thing that comes out of such posts is anger, ill-feelings, etc... Instead of wasting precious time feeding off such negativity, we should spend the time before our Lord in reparation and prayer for these bad priests.

It is sad that with some people you know that they will most likely will or will react unkindly if you tell them the truth or give some kind of fraternal correction. Indeed though, anger, or wrath, is a vice which we must avoid, for I know how that has overcome me so many times sadly. Of course, if I am not mistaken, there is also the sort of anger that is really a thirst for justice. In that case, that is when I suppose we should appease God for justice through penance.

I wish someone would take that subject up for discussion, Keph---righteous vs unrighteous anger. It is something well worth knowing.
