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.

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.

Fr. Sulzen was ordained in 1998 by Bishop de Galarreta.

(Incidentally, there is an interview of Bishop Williamson in this issue)

I noticed another priest mentioned in this issue. Unless I missed it, do we know if this Fr Crane was ordained by an Old Rite Bishop and was ordained in the Old Rite?

Both Fathers Sulzen and Crane were ordained in the SSPX. They were in the same year at Winona.

In fact, the pdf linked here shows their SSPX ordinations. Are you missing something here?

Probably...lol. Sorry. Thanks for clarifying and good to know.

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.

In Christo
Ark.

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.

It's actually called St Padre Pio Academy though.....

I know people have begun to call it that and the Society has evidently not corrected it as they would have done (and did) in the past. It would be informative to know if the decision to start using "St." came from the people or from the priests there.

That would be interesting. I wonder when there was a name change if any. If it happened in 2012, that might be a clue.

Ha. I was a bit surprised by it. It must be a NSSPXer.

You do know that any reference to down thumbing results in more down-thumbing though, right?
