  • Is an ordination of a priestly candidate valid using the Novus Ordo rite if it is done by a bishop who was consecrated in the traditional Roman rite?

  • People need to understand that just because the new rite of episcopal consecration is obviously, indisputably invalid that doesn't make the new rite of ordination valid.

    The new rite is certainly invalid per Apostolicae Curae and because 'ut' was removed from the form.

    Excerpt from - https://schismatic-home-aloner.com/new-rite-of-ordination-invalid/



    Quote
    Michael Davies: “… every prayer in the traditional rite [of Ordination] which stated specifically the essential role of a priest as a man ordained to offer propitiatory sacrifice for the living and dead has been removed [from the New Rite of Paul VI]. In most cases these were the precise prayers removed by the Protestant reformers, or if not precisely the same there are clear parallels.”[1]


    Quote
    Pope Leo XIII, Apostolicae Curae, Sept. 13, 1896: “For, to put aside other reasons which show this to be insufficient for the purpose in the Anglican rite, let this argument suffice for all: from them has been deliberately removed whatever sets forth the dignity and office of the priesthood in the Catholic rite. That form consequently cannot be considered apt or sufficient for the sacrament which omits what it ought essentially to signify.”[6]

    Pope Leo XIII, Apostolicae Curae, Sept. 13, 1896: “So it comes to pass that, as the Sacrament of Orders and the true sacerdotium [sacrificing priesthood] of Christ were utterly eliminated from the Anglican rite, and hence the sacerdotium [priesthood] is in no wise conferred truly and validly in the Episcopal consecration of the same rite, for the like reason, therefore, the Episcopate can in no wise be truly and validly conferred by it; and this the more so because among the first duties of the Episcopate is that of ordaining ministers for the Holy Eucharist and sacrifice.”[7]

    Pope Leo XIII, Apostolicae Curae, Sept. 13, 1896: “Being fully cognizant of the necessary connection between faith and worship, between ‘the law of believing and the law of praying,’ under a pretext of returning to the primitive form, they corrupted the liturgical order in many ways to suit the errors of the reformers. For this reason in the whole Ordinal not only is there no clear mention of the sacrifice, of consecration, of the sacerdotium [sacrificing priesthood], but, as we have just stated, every trace of these things, which had been in such prayers of the Catholic rite as they had not entirely rejected, was deliberately removed and struck out. In this way the native character – or spirit as it is called – of the Ordinal clearly manifests itself. Hence, if vitiated in its origin it was wholly insufficient to confer Orders, it was impossible that in the course of time it could become sufficient since no change had taken place.”[8]

    Dear reader, these things described above by Pope Leo XIII as the downfall of the Anglican Rite of Ordination – the systematic removal of every reference to the sacrifice of the Mass, consecration and the true sacrificing priesthood – are exactly the things that occurred in the New Rite of Ordination promulgated by Paul VI! In his book The Order of Melchisedech, despite his false conclusions on this and other matters, Michael Davies is forced to admit the following stunning facts:

    Quote
    Michael Davies: “As the previous section made clear, every prayer in the traditional rite [of Ordination] which stated specifically the essential role of a priest as a man ordained to offer propitiatory sacrifice for the living and dead has been removed [from the New Rite of Paul VI]. In most cases these were the precise prayers removed by the Protestant reformers, or if not precisely the same there are clear parallels.”[9]

    Michael Davies: “… there is not one mandatory prayer in the new rite of ordination itself which makes clear that the essence of the Catholic priesthood is the conferral of the powers to offer the sacrifice of the Mass and to absolve men of their sins, and that the sacrament imparts a character which differentiates a priest not simply in degree but in essence from a layman… There is not a word in it that is incompatible with Protestant belief.[

    The “missing ut = invalidity” argument is a figment of your imagination.

    Ut is basically a conjunction with no inherent meaning in context.

    Translated literally, ut means “in order that.”

    So here is a sentence comparison, with and without it:

    1) I bought rice, in order that we can eat.

    2) I bought rice to eat.

    The presence or absence of ut makes no difference to the meaning.

    The concern regarding the new rite of priestly ordination lays elsewhere.

    Your example is not analogous.

    A better example would be

    1) I bought rice, in order that we can eat.

    2) I bought rice, eat.

    The connection is lost.



    Here's the new translation that proves it. Also, none of the new ordinations are done in Latin anyway so we should look at the new translation which clearly destroys the link 'ut' established.

    No.

    In Latin, you would translate the sentence "We bought rice in order that we can eat" as "Nos emit rice ut manducare possumus."

    You would translate "We bought rice to eat" as "Nos emit rice manducare."

    You would also translate your construct (i.e., "We bought rice, eat") the same way (i.e., Nos emit rice, manducare.), because the "to"  in "We bought rice to eat" is implicit (just as the "ut" is implicit).

    The absence of an explicit "to" does not separate the buying of rice from the purpose of eating it, just as in the new form, the absence of "ut" does not separate or disconnect the preceeding from the subsequent (i.e., because it is implicit).

    The meaning is exactly identical, depite the absence of "ut," which is superfluous (i.e., beyond what is required or sufficient).

  • In any event, there is reason to at least doubt the validity of the NO ordination rite. A doubtful sacrament is no sacrament. Now, if you believe that the NO church is the Catholic Church then you would have absolutely no reason to doubt it’s validity and you should also actively participate in their NO service (“mass”) as well.

  • An excerpt from this article: https://stjohnfisher.medium.com/a-defense-of-the-new-rite-of-priestly-ordination-bf0f5aa08007

    "As Michael Davies, himself explained in The Order of Melchisedech, Appendix XI,

    Quote
    How did the ut come into the form? The answer is almost certainly through a copying error by a scribe, which was in its turn copied by other scribes and eventually became codified with the advent of the printed Pontifical…If, for the sake of argument, we lay aside the fact that the doctrine of indefectibility rules out any possibility of the new ordination rite being invalid, could it be maintained that the removal of ut from the traditional form justifies the allegation of a significant change of meaning?

    I obtained the judgment of a number theologians and canonists competent to provide an expert opinion on the question, namely Professor J.P.M. van der Ploeg, D.P., Dr. Philip Flanagan, Dr. Francis Clark, Dr. H.J. Jordan, Dr T.C.G. Glover, Father William Lawson, S.J., and also Professor Cristine Mohrmann, one of the world’s greatest authorities on Christian Latin. They all reached the identical conclusion, that the omission of ut did not change the meaning of the Latin form to the slightest extent, and did not cast even the suspicion of doubt upon the validity of the Latin form. Thus even if, per impossibile, a sacramental form approved by the Sovereign Pontiff could be invalid, there would be no case for alleging invalidity in the case of the form for the ordination of a priest in the 1968 Ordinal.[8]


    The quibble about an “ut” is nothing to be concerned with, especially since it is doubtful it was in there in the first place, and it has the backing of a consensus of Latinists."

    Firstly, nobody is making the argument that the conciliar church is the Catholic Church, but rather, that the conciliar church contains elements of the Catholic Church.

    Secondly, nobody is advancing the argument that, if conciliar sacraments are valid, there should be no objection to frequenting them (unless it is you who are making that argument, in which case we would simply distinguish between validity and liceity, citing the latter as a reason to avoid them).

    No.

    Your rice example is a complete red herring. Do you not see the comma turned into ';'? Do you not see that the new translation literally ENDS THE SENTENCE THERE!?!? 

    Do you admit that Spiritus sanctitatis is cut off from the rest of the sentence in the new version or not?

    Do you admit that at least the English translation cuts off the Spirit of holiness by ending the sentence there?

    I admit that the “ut” you imagine to be essential is an accidental transcription error, and consequently, it’s omission could not possibly be invalidating.

    Ignorant as usual ... and driven by your agenda.

    Certainly the omission of "ut" could be invalidating.  As Pope Pius XII taught about the essential form, there are two things required, the invocation of the Holy Ghost to produce the Sacramental effect.

    Traditional Rite:
    Invoking the Holy Ghost to make the man a priest.

    Novus Ordo Rite:
    Invoke the Holy Ghost.  Ask (God?) that he be made a priest.

    Problem is that the Holy Ghost can be invoked for any number of things.  What's missing here is the notion that the Sacramental effect is being caused by the Holy Ghost.

    If you hadn't been asleep in Latin class, the "ut" is very significant gramatically.  It is not simply a random two-letter word.  What follows the "ut" is the effect of the first part, "so that ...".  This speaks directly to the link between the Holy Ghost and the Sacramental effect, which is severed by its removal.  And the Holy Ghost causing the Sacramental effect is what Pius XII described as the essence of validity.

    Now, it's POSSIBLE that it could be implied, but the problem is that it's not unequivocal.  Holy Ghost could be asked to cause the proper dispositions in the priest, etc. or for any other reason than to effect the ordination.

    So it's highly likely that this invalidates.

    Also, just ask yourself, WHY did they remove this tiny little (as you claim insignificant) word?  Did it somehow improve the Rite, make it more "Modern"?  No, the nefarious sinister agents behind all of the V2 deformation of the Church did this ON PURPOSE.  There's no other rational explanation for why the "ut" was in their way.

    But then your view of the Crisis is that it was just a weakness of faith rather than a deliberate destruction by design.

    Excellent point. Having no "ut" doesn't make it more modern or accepting by the modern world. This does scream conspiracy. There was no good excuse to remove that word. 

    I hope Sean doesn't really believe the Crisis wasn't a deliberate destruction by design. Most real Trads believe there was an infiltration by those intending to damage/destroy the Church, etc. Most real Trads believe in such a CONSPIRACY.

    Anyone too dead-set against "cօռspιʀαcιҽs" better be careful: Acts of the Apostles makes it clear there were cօռspιʀαcιҽs against the Church from the earliest days -- and perpetrated by the You-Know-HEWS just like today. Just read that book if you don't believe me. Keep in mind how small the "civilized world" was in 45 or 50 AD -- and how far geographically their cօռspιʀαcιҽs already reached.

    What a moron!

    Only in the delusional world of Loudestmouth can a transcriptionist’s mistaken addition of ut become part of the essential form.

    Yes....if the "ut" was so insignificant, then why remove it at all?  Maybe the anti-Catholics foresaw the possibility/probability of Old Rite bishops ordaining new rite priests.  Since they knew those bishops' consecrations were 100% valid, then the only was to invalidate their priests was to mess with the new rite of ordination.  All it took was one, "insignificant" two letter word.

    So, OP, I wouldn't trust that set-up either.
