  1. The swell being served up by some anti-Thuc forces is designed to blow smoke in the face of Catholic truth in order to make it appear as though only one group of Catholic bishops and priests is valid. The Romans and those THEY RECOGNISE ONLY!

    It should be very revealing, as well as understandably quite shocking, for many traditional Catholics to realise that they have been deceived and misled regarding the true facts of the Thuc issue by certain highly-placed anti-Thuc agitators.

    Bishop Broadberry seems to express the conviction that none of the questioning of the legitimate status of Thuc-line bishops and priests would ever have happened if the whole dispute had not been created by anti-Thuc agitators among the clergy, who then spread their false story among their parishioners by way of their anti-Thuc writings and actions.

    Appropriately enough, you conclude your comments by saying that the priests who stirred up all the controversy about the Thuc consecrations of bishops “really shot themselves in the foot.”

    If any of the anti-Thuc bishops would realise how much they have discredited themselves by misinforming and misleading their unsuspecting followers!

    Archbishop Thuc - God Bless you and rest in peace.

  2. The Thuc issue ceased to be objectively controversial when all the facts became known and understood and then accepted by those of good will.

  3. The first fact that we need to recognize and understand clearly in regard to the Thuc issue is the power of consecrating bishops, as well as of ordaining priests, which Archbishop Thuc possessed as a Catholic bishop, a power which he never lost, nor could lose, neither on account of signing the questionable Vatican II documents, nor for at first consecrating unworthy men as bishops. No bishop can lose his power of consecrating bishops for any kind of reason, such as, for example, losing the faith or joining the freemasons or other anti-Catholic subversives.

    This should be no surprise for properly instructed traditional Catholics who learned probably already in their catechism days, that a man ordained as a Catholic priest becomes a priest forever. The pertinent Scriptural passage about the eternal priesthood that true Catholic should have no trouble remembering is the well-known; “Thou art a priest forever, according to the order of Melchisedech” (Psalm 109,5).

    In dealing with the Catholic priesthood, we are dealing with something divinely established, not with something established by man. The everlasting power given to priests is given to them by God, not by man. The indelible mark, or character, of the priesthood, received at ordination, belongs to the Catholic priest by the will of God, not by the will of man, and it belongs to the priest forever. Just as the indelible mark received at Baptism belongs to the Baptized Catholic forever.

    We are speaking here of matters clearly pertaining to the Catholic Faith and which cannot be doubted, nor questioned, nor denied without the risk of incurring the guilt of heresy.

  4. Those traditional Catholics who have at their disposal some reliable traditional Catholic religion book, or maybe an advanced Catholic catechism, or even a reliable theology book, would do well to turn to the pages that deal with the sacrament of Holy orders and re-educate themselves as to the nature and powers of the Catholic priesthood.

    Just to take one example of a good traditional advanced catechism, we can recommend Deharbe’s Catechism, first published in German long ago by Father Joseph Deharbe, S. J., and then translated into English early in the 20th Century.

    The fortunate thing about the English edition of Deharbe’s Catechism is that it was reissued in 1998 by Omni-Christian Book Club of America (P/O/ Box 900566, Palmdale California 93590-0566 – Phone (661) 274-2240).

    On page 303 of the 1998 edition of Deharbe’s Catechism, the question is asked: “Can a Priest be deprived of his ordination?” The correct answer given is this: “No, he can as little be deprived of Ordination as of Baptism, because it imprints an indelible character upon the soul.”

    And then Father Deharbe continues: “A Priest therefore, or a Bishop, cannot be deprived of the powers which he received in his Ordination or Consecration, to change bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, and to offer up the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, to administer Confirmation, Extreme Unction, and Holy Orders.”

  5. Knowing the everlasting nature and power of the Priesthood, no genuine Catholic of good will could honestly persist in holding that Archbishop Thuc’s Consecrations of Bishops were doubtful, or even outright invalid. Because the power of the fullness of the Priesthood is everlasting, there can be no argument, no questioning, no controversy about the undoubted validity of the Thuc consecrations of Bishops.

    You would think that the anti-Thuc militants saw that they had no other choice but to go silent and stop their anti-Thuc campaign. Yet, believe it or not, they did not stop trying to discredit Archbishop Thuc and the Thuc-line Bishops and Priests. Being the “geniuses” that they are, they had a dream. The dreamt that they could finish off the Archbishop by spreading around the made-up story that he was feeble-minded and therefore incapable of using his power of Consecrating Bishops validly.

    But that didn’t work. Thinking Catholics could at once object that neither Bishop Guerard des Lauriers, nor Bishop Carmona, nor Bishop Zamora complained that Archbishop Thuc was feeble-minded when he consecrated them. They saw that the Archbishop what the Pontifical Ritual required as to matter and form and intention. When the Consecration ceremonies were completed, these three men knew that they were validly consecrated Catholic Bishops. So in due time they proceeded to do what Catholic Bishops are empowered to do. That is, they consecrated other Bishops, and it was from them that the American line of Thuc Bishops developed.

    Where were the anti-Thuc dreamers when Archbishop Thuc was consecrating Bishops Guerard and Carmona and Zamora? They were in faraway anti-Thuc dreamland. That’s where they were.

    While anti-Thuc agitators are unable honestly to deny the validity of the Thuc consecrations of Bishops, they imagine they have a legitimate argument against the Archbishop when they declare that his consecrations were unlawful, or illicit, since he had no papal mandate or permit to consecrate Bishops.

  6. I have read many things concerning Thuc Line Bishops. What exactly is a Thuc Line Bishop?

  7. Where did Christ consecrate bishops for His Church? Maybe not hotel rooms, but not in formal churches either.

  10. Archbishop Pierre Martin Ngo Dinh Thuc

    "THE THUC LINE"

    In a letter to the Sacerdotal Fraternity of Monseignor Pierre-Martin Ngo Dinh Thuc (Chaillac, France), dated May 3, 1994, Cardinal Cassidy of the Pontifical Council for the Unity of Christians wrote the following significant words:

    "'the situation of the members of this fraternity is an internal affair to the Catholic Church. The fraternity is not like another Church or ecclesiastical community in the meaning the this 'dicastery'(?), but an internal affair of the Catholic Church.'
    Of course, the Mass and Sacraments administered by the priests of the Fraternity are valid. The Bishops are validly ordained -- although non licitly (without pontifical mandate). What is asked is the reconciliation with the Catholic Church and this is something greatly desired by the Bishop of Rome. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any sign of this being realized in the near future ..." (Excerpt of the letter of Cardinal Edward Cassidy, No. 1336/94)

    This quotation from Cardinal Cassidy is quite accurate. The important point is as the Cardinal rightly points out that -- the "Thuc Line" is an internal affair of the Catholic Church. Thus it is not a sect. We are advised that this same theme was re-iterated by Cardinal Antonelli in Libreville, Gabon on May 22, 1996; and by Cardinal Jerome Hamer on May 26, 1996.

  11. Today, many of the Thuc Line Bishops are sedevacantist -- ie, they do not acknowledge Francs I as the Vicar of Christ. However, not all -- it must be clear -- that Bishop Athanasius Maria Seiwart-Fleige and Bishop Bartholomew Schneider fully accept and profess their loyalty and acceptance of Frances I as the Vicar of Christ.

  12. There is a bit out there on Bishop Thuc. While he got involved(albeit briefly) with questionable, unqualified men that he ordained and consecrated, perhaps most notably those in Palmar de Troya, Spain, he also consecrated very worthy priests as Bishops, namely Bishop Guerard Des Laurier, O.P. and Bishops Carmona and Zamona from Mexico, all in 1981. He shortly there after moved to the US and stayed with Franciscans in the Rochester, NY area. He was taken away by some Vietnamese who were aquainted with him and ended up dying in Carthage, Missouri in December, 1984 at the former Seminary of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate.
    I recommend that you take a look at http://www.thucbishops.com It is a recent study on the validity of the Thuc line of Bishops, not withstanding that he dealt with some men that were certainly not worthy. It is online for free and easy to follow

  14. Did he cover for child rape and multiple abuse? Did he move them about, hide files and give them money and means to continue in term EVIL ways? Did he tell multiple lies about the facts of the Church for the 'good' name of the Church? Did he spend millions on a palace?

    No he was lead by Gospel values - HE wil do me.

  16. Recently learned Bishop Thuc's apostolic succession includes 4 different lineages.

    #1 Patriarch of Mossul

    #2 d'Estouteville line (which has
    records dating to 1400's)

    #3 Syrian Archbishop line.

    #4 Rebiba line.(1500's)

    4 different lineages is impressive given the SSPV Mendez line is just Rebiba.

    SSPX LeFevbre line is Rebiba and d'Estouteville line.
