Hah! I was thinking about contacting Archbishop Chaput about whether or not he used genuine olive oil. 1) He might not remember 2) I probably won't get a response. Regardless of whether he did use the proper matter, the form of the sacrament is still dubious.
Thanks, Lad.

I asked Bishop Williamson to conditionally confirm me right before I entered the Seminary ... without having done ANY investigation whatsoever, and His Excellency was happy to oblige.

Request it regardless, it’s too important to leave to chance. The sacrament of Confirmation is especially important in today’s apostasy

At the seminary, when the subject came up, I left it completely to their discretion. I stated simply and factually the circuмstances of my Confirmation (the local Novus Ordo Bishop, using the old Rite in Latin, under auspices of Institute of Christ the King) and they decided to have me conditionally confirmed by +Williamson.

I wasn't technically AT the seminary YET (so I compressed and simplified what I wrote) ... it was in the month of May BEFORE I entered.  I had already communicated my intention to enter in the Fall.  +Williamson was doing confirmations at the SSPX chapel I was attending (at college in Chicago), and I asked him, and he did it without questions.

Surprised the SSPX is still doing conditional confirmations these days.

I would agree with Ladislaus: Better to get it done while you have the chance.
