  • There really is no other priest or prelate stating the truth about the ѕуηαgσgυє as Bishop Williamson did, other than Fr Mawdsley. 
    He seems to have taken the baton from +Williamson in the race against the enemy of Christ and mankind, the SOS.

     
    I only pray that Bishop Williamson did conditionally ordain him.

    Maybe +Bp.W gave the answer right there.
    I think it's more likely that James Mawdsley is still a married layman than a traditional-ordained priest.

    he was ordained by "bishops" (layman) who were consecrated in the invalid new rite

    Yes, but he himself admitted having had misgivings about the validity of the Orders, and I do suspect that he's therefore since sought conditional ordination.

    He had his marriage declared null ... so we can't merely assume that there weren't legitimate grounds for nullity (as there are some clear-cut cases).  Nor does marriage preclude valid ordination.  Even if the annulment had NOT been legit, but he received conditional ordination, he would in fact be a valid priest regardless.

    People needn't jump to conclusions without actual evidence, eh?

    Thanks for the response Lad. I feel much better in this regard.

    Apparently his marriage has been anulled.

    Who else can annul it? No one else has tribunals. 
    Whether it is legit or not is if he met the pre-Vll criteria for annulment, which I would say is difficult to do .

    So?  No one actually "annuls" anything but simply makes a declaration of nullity, and some grounds for nullity are quite clear and be accepted by even the most radical SV clergy.  Regardless, even if he were still technically married, that would not invalidate his Holy Orders.

    Perhaps it was discovered she had been married before, or there was some other obvious impediment.  It's also possible that this woman has since passed away (since that was 20 years ago).  Too much we don't know for doofuses to be shooting from the hip.

    thats fair. do we know whether there is docuмentary proof that the marriage was definitely invalid
