"These bishops constantly ordain to the priesthood men who have no preparation or training, who belong to no religious community, and who are consequently entirely independent of one another and all Church authority"
biggest issue I have with Thuc lineage.notsaying naything mean about Thuc, nor the men either, but the whole process, preparation,etc is questionable......
The statement quoted is not accurate.
This is:
SOME of those bishops ordain to the priesthood men who have no preparation or training, who belong to no religious community, and who are consequently entirely independent of one another and all Church authority.
Some Thuc Bishops are very careful to only ordain suitable candidates who have been seminary trained.
RomanCatholic is absolutely right here. I might even suggest that many of the Thuc-line bishops have been irresponsible about whom they have ordained (and consecrated).
On the other hand, I would also have to say that most, if not nearly all (and perhaps all), Conciliar bishops have been extremely irresponsible about whom they have ordained and consecrated. It seems that the last thing on the Conciliar Catholic bishops' minds is whether candidates are suitable OR trained in anything Catholic.
