I'm sorry that you took an hour out of your day to retrieve Hutton's argument, but that isn't going to keep me from defending Archbishop Lefebvre from the absurd slanders and calumnies of an extremist layperson.
Funny how the Novus Ordo crowd always labels traditionalists as extremists. As far as slander and calumnies, the fact Lefebvre was ordained by Lienhart is a fact, Lienhart, by his record was an infiltrator and most likely a high-level mason. The latter allegation according to Gibson Lefebvre accepted as fact. No slander so far.
Not only did what you quote suggest that the Archbishop was not validly ordained, but Hutton even dared to say that Archbishop Lefebvre was in heresy and that he was in "masonic entanglement".
Unfortunately, this is also worthy of speculation. As much as I like Ron Paul I'm not that naive as to believe that he is wittingly or unwittingly being used as controlled opposition. Lefebvre decision to consecrate Fellay is a bit troubling and there are other things too. Just look at the society now.
In a situation like this, we should not "leave it up for people to analyze/discuss". No, it's best to put arguments like that in the trash bin where they belong.
Well that's the policy at Catholic Answers.
