Tom, I think we have established that Bp. Thuc asserted having performed those holy orders, even though he regrets doing so.
The author of the article in the Angelus magazine is either mistaken, misinformed, or incorrect for some other reason. You have failed to provide any evidence that what that author asserts is correct, and the burden of proof is on the one making an assertion.
On the contrary, the docuмents you yourself have provided disprove what you are saying.
What are you are doing (to explain for the benefit of the innocent reader), is imposing an artificial made up standard, so that you and the many other naive dogmatic sedevacantists can go on attending their CMRI chapels in peace without worrying about the validity of the confessions and their priests Masses.
There's a lot at stake here. No one likes to have to admit that. To walk away from your sede chapel that you have been going to for years is difficult.
And this is the last thing the devil wants. So he will fight furiously.
But I got news for him. The Truth fights back even harder. We must be absolutely without mercy on this mad LARPING. Souls will go to hell over this nonsense.
The Truth can be found in humility. And it takes humility to bring yourself back to a reasonable acceptance of this article as being a perfectly fine witness.
No reason to doubt it other than it wasn't sedevacantist.
