I am new to Traditional Catholicism ( since 2011 ). and even newer to independent church or SSPX. I think issue of validity of sacrament such as baptism or priesthood are discouraging many to go to independent church or SSPX unfortunately. while attending Latin Mass at Diocese church , validity have been never questioned. That is anyone who are baptized in Novus Ordo are also allow to participate in Latin Mass. in my opinion Independent church and SSPX are pushing away parishioner, by saying they are not Catholic because questionable baptism.
I did not know SSPX position is that all Novus Ordo sacraments are valid. That is the answer I was looking for.
I find this troubling. We should not be looking for answers that we want. We should be looking for answers that are
True.
Of course the validity of the sacraments at a diocesan church is not going to be questioned. They are part of the Conciliar church which made
changes to
every one of the sacraments and some of those changes were in the very form, i.e., the fundamental nature, of the sacrament.
Frankly, I would rather that there be no problem in the Church. I would rather know that the Conciliar church is really Catholic and that there was no problem with it or any of its sacraments. I would rather be able to think that attending the traditional Mass or the Novus Ordo were simply a matter of preference.
I would rather that all these things be true, but they simply cannot be.
The fact is that the Conciliar church has changed a great many things and are leading souls to hell by their teachings. Most Conciliar catholics no longer believe in fundamental dogmas, e.g., the Real Presence, the indissolubility of marriage, that ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ acts are always a mortal sin, that abortion and artificial means of birth control are always mortal sins, that there is no natural law, etc., etc., etc. There are so many dogmas that are absolutely rejected by Conciliar catholic laymen and clergy that it would be impossible to list them all.
Now, an independent priest who declares that all Novus Ordo baptisms are invalid is a problem, for that also would be a denial of Church dogma for even a heretic or pagan can validly baptize. I think that, before we could help you with your questions, we would have to know on what grounds the priest says your baptism is doubtful.
But, please, don't simply look for the answers you want to hear. Search for the Truth. Salvation will only be found in Truth. It is not found in wishful thinking.
