Lefebvre-Thuc line
« on: March 06, 2018, 10:34:05 PM »

This popped into my feed somehow. Familiar with the subject and interested to hear the opinion expressed, I have to say that those guys were fair and balanced. They've been known to go out in left field a time or two (or ten). I think they even subscribe to the Siri theory and offer compelling evidence that something is there to uncover, but here they really just left it plainly out there and offer a few interesting facts for those that are not familiar with the case raised against the validity of Lefebvre or Thuc line bishops. Both valid- end of story. No positive doubt ever existed.

Even if Lienart was a freemason, the ordination was valid.  Lienart followed the rite of the church in conferring the ordination.

OK, I know that Wikipedia is not the most reliable source of information but I was able to learn the names of Abp. Lefebvre's two co-consecrators: Alfred-Jean-Félix Ancel, Jean-Baptiste Victor Fauret. So, even if Card. Liénart withed his intention, he still performed the correct form and matter and most likely one of the two co-consecrators had the  right intention. In my opinion, Apb. Lefebvre always was a true Catholic priest and a true Catholic Bishop. May his soul rest in peace.

Yes, but Lienart ordained +Lefebvre to the priesthood on his own, and if +Lefebvre wasn't a valid priest, it's doubtful that he could be validly consecrated a bishop.

Nevertheless, there's no doubt whatsoever about his validity.
