A priest of the SAJM tells me that not a single priest of the SAJM collaborates with Bp. B and that there were no Dominicans from Avrillé at the January ordination.

I just checked the SAJM website for the current membership and you are correct.  I didn't know they were no longer members.  And I didn't say anyone from Avrille was there but looking over the photos they may not have even been Dominicans because I can't tell if they're wearing habits.  But they were French. 

Thank you for correcting me.  I won't say anymore on the topic.

The bottom line is that many clerics do not like independent priests because they can't control them. That lack of control terrifies them.

What about the Bishop's grave responsibility before God for the priests they ordain? How about you look at it from that angle?

When a bishop ordains a priest, that priest now has supernatural power and dignity. He is now a leader, a teacher, and a vital source of guidance, truth, and the sacraments for the Faithful. A rogue priest could do *great* damage, cause divisions, destroy souls, etc.

Consider that such grave power and responsibility is a SERIOUS temptation for any priest who isn't already in the Unitive way (the highest of the 3 stages of the Interior Life). Temptation to over-socialize with Faithful, temptation to take worldly "consolations" here and there, temptation to avarice, gluttony, sloth... pretty much all 7 of the capital sins. But as a priest, he has opportunities and doors opened to these vices that *aren't there* for the majority of the Faithful. He is in a special place of authority and revered by the Faithful. He is a special kind of guide, leader, and confidant. He hears confessions and gives spiritual direction. He has opportunities to fall with women (for example) that the average layman does not. He is a single man with lots of free time and usually above-average brain power; this can be a problem. A priest can go in any of a thousand directions. He can be an amateur scholar, a TV watcher, a gossip, a wine expert, a Chant expert/nerd, a modern day Don Bosco -- all sorts of things good, bad, and in-between. And Heaven help him if he hasn't conquered all his faults by the day of his ordination.

And let's keep a Catholic perspective: the devils target priests more than anyone else.

And then there's the simple fact that a bishop is responsible before God for every priest he ordains. I'm sure many good bishops have been taken off-guard over the years when they find out just who they ordained. God alone knows, and God is the Just Judge. But nevertheless, a bishop must do his due diligence.

Some measure of control over the priest he ordains is actually a good thing, a Catholic thing, and a traditional thing. The idea of "independent priests" is completely foreign to Catholic thought. Have you ever been to an ordination? Remember the part where the priest puts his hands inside the ordaining bishop's hands, and promises obedience?

It is interesting that someone saw fit to downvote a post where I simply agree with another post here. 

Ever since an FBI sniper shot Vicky Weaver in the head while she was holding her infant daughter in the doorway of her home in Idaho because she was a traditional wife and homeschooling patriot opposed the NWO, we have been put on notice that the people who control the organs of power in the US and the rest of the developed world will unlawfully kill dissidents. Certainly they will kill traditional Catholic priests. 

I think that as another poster wrote above, we must prepare our priests for hard times, but we must also decentralize the organizations in order to make it harder to infiltrate and take down the sources of true apostolic action.
