  • Catholic Candle's List of Priests & Those Who Claim to Be Priests
    Revision date: November 6, 2020 Catholic Candle’s List of Priests & Those Who Claim to be Priests This list primarily focuses on whether there is any doubt concerning the validity of the ordination of a priest whom the faithful might encounter. Note: Catholic sacramental theology requires that an ordination be treated as invalid if even the slightest reasonable doubt exists, concerning the validity of either the ordination or the ordaining bishop’s consecration. See the analyses elsewhere in Catholic Candle, which demonstrate the inherent doubtfulness of conciliar ordinations and consecrations: http://catholiccandle.neocities.org/faith/new-ordination-doubtful.html https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49oPuI54eEGd2RRcTFSY29EYzg/view https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B49oPuI54eEGZVF5cmFvMGdZM0U/view Also, in the list below, Catholic Candle flags sedevacantist priests (or supposed priests) of which we are aware. Sedevacantism is a grave error and is schism. See this article analyzing the sedevacantist error: https://catholiccandle.neocities.org/faith/against-sedevacantism.html This is not a list of “approved” priests. It is the beginning of a prudent investigation concerning a particular priest. Fr. Patrick Abbet From Switzerland. Ordained in 2002. Source: STAS.org website, where he was an SSPX seminary professor. Fr. Stephen Abraham As of April 2017, he lives in a house with Bishop Richard Nelson Williamson, in Broadstairs, England. There are serious problems with this SSPX-ordained priest.

  • The Bishop's Role of Pastoral Governance
    The Bishop’s Role of Pastoral Governance: Its Interpretation and Reception by the Magisterium since Vatican II Submitted for the Degree Doctorate in Philosophy By Paul G. Gadie Supervisor: Dr. Eugene Duffy Submitted to the University of Limerick, March 2015 Abstract Author: Paul G. Gadie Title: The Bishop’s Role of Pastoral Governance since Vatican II: Its Subsequent Interpretation and Reception by the Magisterium This thesis will assess the interpretation and reception of the bishop’s role of pastoral governance by the Magisterium since the Second Vatican Council (1962- 65). Historically, this episcopal role had been increasingly restricted from the Council of Trent (1545-63) to the First Vatican Council (1869-70). Due to Vatican I’s premature end only papal governance was legislated for. Subsequently, the increasing dominance of the Roman School of Theology and of Ultramontanism located the exercise of Church governance in the Pope and the Roman Curia. While the bishop exercised a small measure of governance within his diocese, he was portrayed as the local Church manager of the universal Church. Vatican II defined a new and more expanded role of episcopal governance, expressed in a pastoral mode. Vatican II described episcopal governance of the local Church, but also of the universal Church, shared with and always under the leadership of the Pope. Using a hermeneutical approach suggested by Ormond Rush, three key Vatican II documents will be analysed to reveal the process of authorship and their understanding of episcopal governance. Rush’s hermeneutics will also help to analyse the reception of episcopal pastoral governance after the Council.

    Combined Response March 19, 2020 St. Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church, pray for us! Greetings my friends, Praised be Jesus, Mary, and St. Joseph now and forever. Rather than give the names of some friends who wrote me emails and asked me to correspond with them and answer questions, in this letter on the public website I am only going to refer to them as F1 (as one friend), F2 (as another friend), F3 (as another friend), F4 (as another friend). F1 sent me an email March 5, 2020 and asked “What do you think of the following”; and then he sent information that was mostly taken from the CMRI website. Correspondence went back and forth for a while, and although I have other daily duties to also be taken care of, I will herein provide some information – although it will not be the complete in depth answers to explain about all of the articles accessed from the hyperlinks F1 sent me. Not long after F1 and I exchanged a few emails, another correspondence through email took place with F2. In the meantime, while I have been writing this letter, F3 also sent me an email asking me to comment on information from F4’s website. Because the subject matter for all of these email correspondences are closely related and intertwined; I have decided to see if I can address all of them in this one Combined Response to the questions asked in the emails.

  • The Frenchness of Marcel Lefebvre and the Society of St Pius X
    1 The Frenchness of Marcel Lefebvre and the Society of St Pius X: a new reading Brian Sudlow, Aston University ABSTRACT The case of Marcel Lefebvre and the SSPX deserves fresh perspectives. The current historiography is too franco-centric, focused on selective aspects of Lefebvre’s biography and the actions of isolated individuals, rather than with the life of the SSPX itself. After evaluating the current state of the historiography, this article proposes a new analysis of the SSPX’s political discourses in France and internationally and undertakes to reframe the relationship between Lefebvre’s life and his congregation by re-examining his African missionary experiences. Such new perspectives will be helpful as the SSPX moves towards regularisation under the pontificate of Pope Francis. KEYWORDS SSPX, Marcel Lefebvre, Action française, far right, missionary Catholicism, Pope Francis The Society of St Pius X (hereafter, the SSPX) is one of the most controversial religious organisations of French origin over the last fifty years. Rejecting many of the reforms of the Second Vatican Council (1962-65), it has risen from a minor irritation to Vatican sensibilities in the 1970s, to being the focus of a concerted reconciliation project supported by the last two popes. If, therefore, its significance 2 is beyond question, the meaning of its French origins, their importance and their influence have been the subject of constant evolution albeit largely homogenous critical judgment. This article aims to bring a fresh assessment of these matters to the academy’s attention, as official reconciliation attempts intensify under Pope Francis. The history of the SSPX is easily summarised.
