The V2 sacraments (except for Baptism/Marriage) are already condemned by Quo Primum (and canon law). How do you not understand this?
I don't know what you are talking about here, but the sacrament was administered. It happened, condemned or not, moral or immoral, legal or illegal, it happened. Some rogue group, the Church's enemies, who call themselves and believe they are Catholic used the Church's sacrament in a manner and form forbidden. But it is done.
The new rite of ordination changed the form. The words of the new form are posted all over the Vatican website and in millions of new-rituals. There's not much investigating to do.
No one disputes this.
I'm not saying they are all invalid. I'm saying they are all doubtful...also illegal and therefore immoral. You keep equating doubtful with invalid. These are 2 entirely different theological concepts.
Invalid across the board is not doubtful across the board, I understand the difference.
It's the same argument Fr Wathen uses against the new mass, in one of your favorite books, "The Great Sacrilege". We don't know if the new mass is 100% invalid, but we DO KNOW they are doubtfully valid, illegal and therefore immoral.
We don't know if the *consecration* is always 100% valid even when done correctly, but the mass itself we know is sacrilegious, illegal therefore immoral.
The difference is, one cannot "conditionally re-say mass" so we stay away from the doubtful, illegal new mass altogether. But one CAN conditionally re-ordain" a priest and conditionally re-consecrate a bishop, so that's what is the safe step. That's the entire reason conditional ordinations exist. To erase doubt.
Apples and oranges. Without first investigating the ordination, i.e. "due inquiry" as the pope puts it, even a conditional ordination is sacrilegious. I showed you the pope teaching this in Trent's catechism. Believe him, not me.
