Now if only we could READ the .pdf in the OP we could see what it has to say about the understanding of Pope Francis in regards to the necessity of consecrating traditional bishops in the Western Church, or if it says anything at all about that.

If you click the pdf it opens a larger copy and if you click that - a really large copy.

Poche, when are you going to tire of trolling here?

It's been how many years and you still pretend you have learned nothing of the intricacies of the Crisis in the Church?

This Mandatum is given as an explanation as to why the law of the Church is being violated and refused.
These men, and we must include all neo-Traditional Bishops SSPX, sede, and otherwise were consecrated unlawfully and their status will remain as illicit until said "Catholic Pope" appears and grants forgiveness and acceptance of these orders by the Church.
This paper has no authority or meaning other than it is a self generated statement of opinion by the participants, and does not advert to acceptance of the Church's authority as represented by the Conciliar rulers, who it is proposed that they obey these popes in all but sin.

JPaul, this is a forum for TRADITIONAL CATHOLICS.

You seem to have a problem with the legitimacy of the Traditional Catholic movement. What are you, one of those "home aloners" who hates the Novus Ordo but also considers the "Traditional Movement" not legitimate, and so they stay aloof from it as well? (By the "Traditional Movement", of course I mean priests going independent or forming small organizations, and setting up networks of unapproved "lifeboat" chapels to help laymen keep the Faith)

What is your position in all this? Who are you rooting for? Said home aloners?

This is a forum for supporters of the Traditional Movement. This last posts suggests you are NOT one of those supporters.

I allow ALL Traditional Catholics on CathInfo. But those who hate or don't believe in the movement can hardly be considered "Traditional Catholics", can they? Just hating the Novus Ordo isn't enough. You must be seeking Mass from any valid priest who will offer it (SSPX, Resistance, independent, CMRI, SSPV, etc.) You have to have SOME favorite group within the broad group of the Traditional Movement.

I pity the home-aloners I describe. They are smart enough to see the evil/problems of the Novus Ordo and new Modernist/Freemasonic religion, but at the same time they have cut themselves off from Mass and the sacraments, under the guise of obedience to Authority. To these sad dupes I would retort: The Church never intended for us to starve ourselves of grace, much less lose the Faith. We need to save our souls NOW, but we can't fix the Crisis. If the Crisis were to be solved by laymen, then maybe the Church would light a fire under our butts by refusing us a temporary stop-gap solution like the Traditional Movement. But as it stands, the Crisis is NOT something that we laymen can fix. And the Church, like Christ Himself, is all love for the precious FAITHFUL souls in her bosom. If a human parent wouldn't allow his children to starve, how could the Church, which is our Mother? Ergo...

If you're saying that this consecration isn't "normal", then that goes without saying.

But these are not "normal times". Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Bishop Zendejas' consecration was as holy, meritorious, called-for, and proper as any other emergency Consecration that's taken place over the past 50 years. It's absolutely the best that MAN can come up with, given the Crisis in the Church.

If you're arguing that this consecration is somewhat imperfect, I'll grant you that. Any position or action short of the Pope converting back to the True Faith -- a re-marriage of Truth and Authority if you will -- is a distant second, an imperfect or temporary solution.

But it's the best we (as human beings) can do.

As I said, it isn't for us humans to fix the Crisis in the Church. All we can do is deal with it. After all, we have to save our souls.

Well, that was a flop.

One more time..............

OKAY ............ if you go to the first try and hold Control while you press "-" three times, it displays all right.

Am I correct in believing that this "Mandate" is the "permission" given to consecrate a bishop to provide the sacraments of Holy Orders and Confirmation?. Is there anything else involved?
