An interesting similarity developing here with regard to the validity of confirmations. The Society would enter mainstream dioceses because conciliar confirmations were flawed. The bishop is continuing with this practice independently of the Society because he now regards confirmations conducted by the other three bishops questionable in view of their adherence to a new liberal agenda.
But what does that have to do with proper form, matter, and intent?
Apparently Wessex was coming from the
, where, at minute
14:00 H.E. explains that the problem has shifted. It is not now a question of validity
alone, but rather that the sacrament is being given by the other 3 in the context of
the Society making improper accommodations with false religion, since there is far
too much evidence of that recently in what has been going on. And +W is coming
to provide the sacrament in the proper context because the Faithful have requested
his help.
I might go so far as to take it one step further, and that is, IMHO, +W is showing
the Society that he's 'not just whistling Dixie', he's prepared to provide Confirmation
or whatever else a bishop does in the event the the Menzingen-denizens keep up
their campaign of subterfuge, for it is their doing to depart from the principles that
have been handed down to us from ABL, and it will have to be their doing to return to
the Faith by reversing this pernicious course of conciliarism. IOW, a 'shot across the
bow' saying,
it is your choice, it is your doing, so don't complain to me. Fix your own problem (as it were) and I'll be here when you come around (he may say).
