BUT!
This group is NOT IN ANYWAY connected to the Catholic Church, meaning it is NOT IN COMMUNION with the Bishop of Rome. (Get that Noah?)
With that said...
They have claimed that they can trace their orders back to the Apostles.
Does Thuc and Milingo ring a bell?
Considering that these group is one of those bogus claimants to the their "Catholicity", (hello Mark Bunag!), would you even be surprised if you read one of these entries.
Mar Yokhannan Bar Thoma and Mar Shimun-Artemus Bar Tooma consecrated to the Sacred Episcopate: Mar Basillius Bar Thoma (Bishop Fredelito Bendal Palmes – Joven y Vargas) for the Eastern Catholic Church Metropolitan See of the Philippines and All Asia on December 28, 2007 at St. Vincent Theological Seminary, Tandang Sora, Quezon City.Well, does St. Vincent care about heretics, schismatics?
Nah.
They are one!
You might say that the bogus "Easterners" just used the name of the school...
Nah.
Doubt that it is just using the name. There is a higher probability that IT DID HAPPEN.
But they call the SSPX schismatics and heretics.
Would they let the SSPX hold a Solemn High Mass in their premises?
Nah!
Would turn them all Vincetians to dust.
Will the Bishop of Novaliches ever discipline these Vincentians?
Nah.
The monstrance containing the Blessed Lord was taken stolen from the Adoration Chapel of St. Peter's Church and NO Act of Reparation was even done.
I think Bishop Tobias does not know anything about this, nor does he ever plan of disciplining the dissent factory called SVST.
So...
Nah.
Move along.
Our bishops don't care about Catholic schools teaching heresy and dissent.
Archbishops Thuc and Milingo at least we know have valid orders even if they consecrated priests and bishops illicitly. They were not episcopi vagantes. We can say the same too for Archbishop Lefebrve. They are all schismatics since they all claim to preserve the Catholic faith. Thuc as a sedevacantist, Lefebvre as a Vatican II rejectionist and Milingo, God knows what!
ReplyDeleteThe IFI bishops who consecrated these "Eastern Catholic" hierarchs have invalid orders since they trace their succession from the Episcopal Church in the USA which we know due to defects of intention in the papal bull Apostolicae curae. Thus these hierarchs can never be in Apostolic Succession with the Catholic and Orthodox churches.
These hierarchs trace their succession from Nestorian bishops too thus putting into even greater question the validity of their consecration. I think that these bishops are nothing more than episcopi vagantes. They probably have a Synod of bishops with just one or two lay members!
And if the SVT did allow this, I believe it is from plain ignorance. This is not excusable but I give then the benefit of the doubt.
