Watch your mouth, that "man" is still a priest.

Plenus Venter is a priest?

Of course, in the sensus latus!

I am against the error of requiring a priest to be a member of some kind of association with promises or vows ON TOP OF whatever they are obliged to do under Canon Law.
"Obliged under canon law " like what ? Like the obligation to not be on his own and to be under a diocesan bishop or a religious (or assimilated) superior ? This is just canon law, not something extra... 
I do agree with a lot you said on pushing that too much and the evil side of some kind of sectarian spirit, and I also agree that priests who without fault of their own were thrown out, or had to leave their diocese/congregation/society would have valid reasons , for a higher purpose, to not follow this purely canonical prescription, but the case is different for young seminarians who start their priestly life: they were not thrown out of something, they have no excuse to not follow canon law, even when it prescribes you to be under someone...

My only disagreement with what the SAJM-Brazil is doing is how they assert supplied jurisdiction as a means of banning other priests and using it as a means to establish authority over faithful. Supplied jurisdiction could never be used to prohibit the sacraments or monopolize the Faith. The phrase “supplied authority” is even used, a novel idea at best.

In previous Brazilian dissenting there were differences of opinions regarding the crisis. So the different groups used the different positions to drive a wedge between the Faithful and keep their groups from receiving the sacraments from other priests during the weeks (or months) between Mass.

What is interesting now is that you have the same priests, all of the same Resistance position, asserting supplied jurisdiction as if it gave them the authority to prohibit the Faithful from receiving the Sacraments from other resistance priests who share the exact same positions.

I believe this showcases some of the problems that the Brazilian Resistance Catholics have experienced and why Brazil, a country with many Traditionally minded youth and surely as many vocations, has struggled to even form a group of more than two or three priests to spread the Faith throughout the vast country and most importantly, bring the Sacraments.
