Well, the question with those ordinations is the intent is it not? As the prayer used is virtually the same. The act taken by a legitimate bishop (see: OLD RITE) to ordain a priest would mean the intent is good and could be valid. The real question lies with the Episcopal orders , yes?
Intent? "Virtually the same"? You mean like the SSPX seems to believe?
Are you even keeping up with the thread
you started on the "validity of the NO"?
The issue is the form and "virtually the same" is not "the same". How is the new form of the ordination rite not
at least doubtful given the changes also made to the NREC?
And you didn't answer my question: do you now believe the New Rite of Ordination is certainly valid?
