Yes, they are HIGHLY invalid ... as opposed to some other priests who may be only slightly invalid.

Right, but I can't rule out that he had recanted or formally repudiated those prior associations.  This here is present tense.
True.

I agree.
Ambrose Moran isn't just a con artist. He's an average, amateur, run of the mill, not particularly talented con artist. He isn't particularly talented at deception or covering his tracks. It was too easy to find out the real deal with him. A couple dozen Trads with Google access made short order of his scam.

How much intelligence or brains does it take to know and understand the differences between the different groups? He has mixed up the groups and their positions on several occasions that I can recall. He doesn't even understand the position of the Trad movement, and it's not exactly rocket science. He's kind of dumb actually.

I think when he first came on the scene, he was pushing that he had modern Conciliar or modern Papal approval about something or other. I remember thinking, "Does he know who he's talking to? That's not a selling point for Trad Catholics!"

A good con artist would have taken the 15 minutes to learn the Cliffs Notes version, at least, about the person/group you're trying to scam.

And since when do bishops (or archbishops) formally excommunicate lay Catholics without a trial? That's ludicrous. That doesn't happen in the Catholic Church, period. Anyone formally excommunicated like that always gets investigated, and gets the benefit of a trial first. Martin Luther, for example. And I'm pretty sure an average Bishop can't do all this on his own initiative.
You must admit that he is a very entertaining actor. His inflections and the raising and lowering of his voice is a natural talent!

Agreed; he is in fact a talented speaker and story-teller.

"you may attend the Masses and receive the sacraments of Fr. Possant [Poisson] whom we have certified and guaranteed as being a valid priest due to conditional ordination. You may not attend the sacraments of those where there is a doubt." -- moran, passion sunday 2019
 
 "[The priests and bishops of the SSPX line] are highly invalid" -- moran 4th sunday after the epiphany.
 
 So Moran says Fr. Pfeiffer is "highly invalid" and you may not receive any sacraments from him.
 
 I wonder why the Pfeiffer followers still accept Moran AND receive sacraments from Fr. Pfeiffer, unless fr. Pfeiffer was "conditionally ordained" by this non-bishop along with "fr." Poisson. Hmm...

Why should Fr Pfeiffer, Bp Williamson, Bp Zendejas, Fr Chazal or priests of the SSPX worry about an Orthodox bishop when the Orthodox split from the Catholic church a thousand years ago?
