Catholics/Bishop Thuc's debate still around...
Expert: Griff Ruby - 1/6/2008
QuestionI read your answers about this topic, and I found them very insightful, clear, and hones. Unfortunately, controversies still remain today. The episcopal consecrations of Bishop Thuc still brings debates. But your presentation has been very clear. Thank you! I assist to SSPV Masses, but I am also tired of their fights and arguments. At this point, as a lay person, I would like to see both sides reconciled, in peace. There is too much work to do today, so many souls to help, to be in this ridiculous debate.
The main reason seems to be the bishop's mental state. However, there is a letter from his hand, in Latin, affirming and confirming he did what he did, and saying he meant to do it. What do you know about this letter?
The rest (unlawful consecrations) still cannot be argumented against since even in that case, validity remains.
Finally, is there any letter or any type of document from other bishops confirming Des Lauriers, Carmona, or Zamora consecrations?
Thank you again. Hope you do well. God bless you. In Christ and Mary.
AnswerI would like to see that kind of peace too, and the best thing we can do now is prayer, persistence in prayer.
I can't help you as to any handwritten letters by Abp. Thuc, but no doubt the bishops consecrated by him would be able to document their pedigree.
Given that no substantive reasons have ever been presented to question his "state of mind" the continuance of the supposed "debate" is nothing but a publicity stunt and can be summarily ignored. Pay it no further mind, and continue to pray.
Sorry if I have not been more helpful, God bless!
