I think it is insane that the SSPX does not conditionally ordain all Novus Ordo priests who come over to the SSPX. I know of people at my chapel (including me) who would walk out if this man came to say Mass there (which may very well happen because sometimes priests from Ridgefield say Mass at my chapel) because of doubts about his ordination. I would guess that this is common. I guess it is more important not to offend Rome than to reassure those many SSPX faithful who have doubts about Novus Ordo orders.

I know that this man is traditional for a Novus Ordo priest but he is still a Novus Ordo priest. He should have to go to seminary for a few years so he could learn all the things they no longer teach in Novus Ordo seminaries and be trained to be a real priest and then conditionally ordained and then become principal.

I would just like to say that I once researched the ordination of Fr Sulzen in order to find out whether I could go to his chapel and receive the Sacrament of Confession. He was ordained (and the bishop who ordained him was consecrated) with the Old Rites.

I would like to throw up another interesting point on the academy. WHY IS IT NAMED PADRE PIO ACADEMY? I for one accept that Padre Pio is a saint, but the SSPX has a policy not to accept these post 62 canonisations because of the changes to the form. If anybody wants to debate this let them go ahead.

There is nothing wrong with giving Padre Pio's name to an academy. It would be wrong to call it St. Padre Pio or to name a church for him since it is not allowed to say a Mass in his honor as a saint. Since the changes in 1983 to the canonization process all saints "so-called" since that time are suspect. They include John XXIII, J.P. II, Jose Escriva, soon P. Paul VI, and on and on. You can't accept one without accepting them all. From what I know about Padre Pio I can't imagine that he would care to be included with many on the list since 1983. We know he's in heaven for sure and that is enough.

Watch to see if the SSPX changes their stance on this subject as it will be indicative of a change of policy to please the Romans.

Father Carl Sulzen?

They don't? Is that docuмented somewhere?

Not everything is docuмented. When we were discussing a name for our chapel we wanted St. Andre (the miracle worker of Canada) but it was nixed because he was canonized in the new rite.
Brother St. Andre is definitely a saint (he died in the 1930's) but we were over ruled anyway.

Father Sulzen has said Mass at my chapel a few times. He heard my confession once. I remember thinking that he gave me good advice during my confession. I believe he was always an SSPX priest so there should be no doubts about his ordination.
