Fr. Peter Scott identifies "lesser reasons". Doubts can vary in strength.

That FAQ page is very old and Fr. Peter Scott is generally viewed as "old school".
I believe bishop de Castro Mayer said much the same thing - who would have known better than des Lauriers. [I see you posted this already]

Still, it would appear the old SSPX viewed the Thuc-line clergy as questionable.

If Father Scott is being used as the measuring-stick, for the record he also held the +Mendez ordinations / consecrations to be doubtful.  Father Scott wrote Bishop Mendez about the ordinations, and Bishop "Gonzales" denied having performed them.  In a fit of hypocrisy, Father Kelly would attack Bishop Thuc over Thuc's fraternization with the Novus Ordo, whereas Mendez did nothing but and was full-blown Novus Ordo.

then-Father Sanborn here exposes the hypocrisy:

I don't know if I put this on this thread or a different one but apparently Fr. Bruno Schaefer, a Thuc ordained priest in 1981 (ordained after the consecrations) joined the SSPX without ever being conditionally ordained. i read that he was at one time the pastor at the largest SSPX parish in Paris.

Not that they matter much, but even the hierarchy don't question the Thuc line.
