I see you downthumbed various post(s) in this thread. Why?

If you have some problem with Black priests, the Resistance, etc. please comment in the thread. Be a man about it. Don't just do a drive-by.

But you went even further with this comment. You are making some kind of insinuation.

Hey this isn't Facebook or Twitter. You can't just post a "teaser" post like that, especially about a priest of God. If there is some LEGITIMATE problem with these priests, it has to be public. You can't just destroy someone's spotless reputation through insinuation and rumor. Especially a consecrated priest of God! Did you note they were conditionally ordained by a valid (Trad) bishop? That means they are consecrated priests of God with absolute certainty.

Yes, in the world of Tradition, where we HAVE no Church tribunals, oversight by the Church, etc. the Faithful must do their due diligence and share information about their priests. We're in a period of crisis, basically surviving in lifeboats. If a lifeboat has a fatal leak in it, you are duty-bound in charity (for the public good) to make that fatal flaw known!

But this works both ways: all a priest has is his reputation among the people. Unlike before Vatican II, there is little "force" from above imposing a given priest on anyone. Everyone can just leave and go to another lifeboat/chapel. So if someone wantonly destroys a good priest's reputation, making it harder for him to A) make a living/survive and B) carry out his apostolate, then may God have mercy on him.
