More acrobatic endeavors by the conciliar-SSPX to whitewash their new direction of rarely conditionally-reordaining priests from the Novus Ordo.
And yet, most traditional Catholics, especially the Old Guard if you will, the ones who spent many years fighting against modernism, know that the weak excuses proffered in this podcast on behalf of the SSPX are just utter rubbish. For example, Bishop Tissier de Mallerais in a 2016 Ordination sermon had this to say which makes the argument quite plain really:
Quote:Now my dear faithful that prayer, this rite of transmitting the power to forgive sin, was simply deleted from the new rite of ordination. There is no trace of it. So this new rite of ordination is not Catholic. And so we will of course continue faithfully transmitting the real and valid priesthood – made valid by the traditional rite of ordination.
As a reminder: Petition re: Conditional Ordination of Priests Transferred from the Novus Ordo and of course, Archbishop Lefebvre - On the Doubtfulness of the Conciliar Sacraments
"So let us be confident, let us not be unprepared, let us not be outflanked, let us be wise, vigilant, fighting against those who are trying to tear the faith out of our souls and morality out of our hearts, so that we may remain Catholics, remain united to the Blessed Virgin Mary, remain united to the Roman Catholic Church, remain faithful children of the Church."- Abp. Lefebvre

From The Catholic Trumpet, "Fr. Robinson Speaks for the NewSSPX on Novus Ordo Ordinations | Fr. Hewko Speaks for Lefebvre":

In his sermon for the Sixth Sunday after Pentecost [July 20, 2025], Fr. Hewko brings up many important points about the New Rite Sacraments, including the following Letter to Friends and Benefactors by Archbishop Lefebvre:
Archbishop Lefebvre
Letters to Friends and Benefactors
April 1980
Dear Friends and Benefactors
Today, at the novitiate of the Sisters of the Society of St. Pius X in St. Michel-en-Brenne, eight postulants took the habit and four novices made their profession. Next year eleven novices will make profession. One would have to be frankly prejudiced not to recognize the fervor and profound faith of this community, as well as its radiant joy, so clearly the work of the Holy Ghost. Here one is indeed far from Pentecostalism or the charismatic movement, but simply in line with the great tradition of the religious life in the Catholic Church.
What is important in the Church today, as yesterday, and tomorrow, is to live from faith, so as to live from grace and thus prepare oneself for eternal life. St. John, in his first epistle tells us, in today’s Mass, “He who was born of God has vanquished the world, and the victory which has vanquished the world is our faith. Who indeed has vanquished the world if not he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.”
If the above is the resume and substance of our faith, then we must honor Jesus as God in all our Christian life, and thus, as the Church has always taught and practised, we must refuse to make Jesus equivalent to the founders of false religions, which would be blasphemous. We must refuse to compromise with those who deny the divinity of Our Lord, or with any false ecumenism. We must fight against atheism and laicism in order to help Our Lord to reign over families and over society. We must protect the worship of the Church, the Sacrifice of the Mass, and the sacraments instituted by Our Lord, practicing them according to the rites honored by twenty centuries of tradition. Thus we will properly honor Our Lord, and thus be assured of receiving His grace.
It is because the novelties which have invaded the Church since the Council diminish the adoration and the honor due to Our Lord, and implicitly throw doubt upon His divinity, that we refuse them. These novelties do not come from the Holy Ghost, nor from His Church, but from those who are imbued with the spirit of Modernism, and with all the errors which convey this spirit, condemned with so much courage and energy by St. Pius X. This holy Pope said to the bishops of France with regard to the Sillon movement: “The true friends of the people are neither revolutionaries nor innovators, but the men of tradition.”
If only the innovators of the Council and those since it would understand this language which is, after all, that of the Church since the time of St. Paul.
One cannot hope for a real renovation of the Church without a return to Tradition. The Church cannot content herself with doubtful sacraments nor with ambiguous teaching. Those who have introduced these doubts and this ambiguity are not disciples of the Church. Whatever their intentions may have been, they in fact worked against the Church. The disastrous results of their industry exceed the worst examinings, and are not lessened by the apparent exceptions of a few regions. When Luther introduced the vernacular into the liturgy, the crowds rushed into the churches. But later?
It is consoling to note that in the Catholic world, the sense of faith of the faithful rejects these novelties and attaches itself to Tradition. It is from this that the true renewal of the Church will come. And it is because these novelties were introduced by a clergy infected with Modernism, that the most urgent and necessary work in the Church is the formation of a profoundly Catholic clergy. We give ourselves to this work with all our heart, aided henceforth by our eighty young priests, and encouraged by the presence of our two hundred and ten major seminarians. The countries of South and Central America give us hope.
The Church was saved from Arianism. She will be saved as well from Modernism. Our Lord will triumph, even when, humanly speaking, all seems lost. His ways are not our ways. Would we have chosen the Cross to triumph over Satan, the world and sin?
Our forty houses throughout the world demonstrate that God can bring much out of nothing. God wills to make use of us. He makes use of you, as well, dear friends and benefactors. May God bless you and keep you in His love and peace.

There are so many ways to deceive and the SSPX has gottin real good at it.
Fr. Robinson only mentions the word valid. What we were instructed by the the SSPX Priests in the 1990's and early 2000's that the new mass, novus ordo priests and the novus ordo sacraments were illegitimate!! Thats what Archbishop Lefebvre said.
Read his books for yourself, because there's some deceiving going on.
What good is a "valid" priest if he's not legitimate?
It was from the many SSPX priests on retreats and in their sermons that we learned what the Archbishop said.
From my retreat notes- we were told: read the OPEN LETTER TO CONFUSED CATHOLICS
read THEY HAVE UNCROWNED HIM
Archbishop Lefebvre wrote:
"The rite of the new Mass is a bastard rite, the sacraments are bastard sacraments. the priests coming out of (Novus ordo) seminaries are bastard priests."
Fr. Robinson leaves out about whether the new mass, N.O. priests and sacraments are legitimate. Archbishop Lefebvre said very clearly they are illegitimate!
The eastern orthodox have a valid Mass and some have valid priests but Catholics cannot go there because they are not legitimate. Super important that word, but Fr. Robinson and the SSPX omit those all important words, and focus the trusting faithful on what the New, Conciliar SSPX want you to think and not realize there is more.
Be vigilant when it comes to the faith.
Archbishop Lefebvre: "Catholics in this latter part of the Twentieth century have a duty to be more vigilant than their fathers were." (referring to our "fathers" who let Modernism take over the Church via Vat II under false obedience and that the clergy knew better than the lay people)
Who led the faithful to accepting the changes in the Church at the time of Vat II? THE LOCAL PRIESTS.
Please Fr. Robinson, stop talking down to lay people who simply want valid and legitimate priests who do not compromise with modernists.

I listened to that SSPX interview with Fr. Robinson the day it posted on the SSPX youtube channel and I read the comments below the video that day.
Today not all of the comments are there that I read the first day. In particular, there was a quote posted in the comments section of Bishop Tissier de Mallerais proving Fr. Robinson wrong. That post in the comments is now gone.
