Does anyone know if there are any valid priests by the definition given at MostHolyFamilyMonasterydotorg that will hear confession in the Detroit, Toledo area or any area within 100 miles of these cities?

I am just curious. Thank you and God bless.

Is that the sedevacantist outfit from Bufflao?

It looks like they are about 50 miles outside of Bufflao…probably too far to be considered even a suburb.
So then the answer would be…no.
 
If we are talking about mostholyfamilymonasterydotcom, they are definitely sedevacantist. Avoid them.

I do not know if they are valid priests or not- but the priests at Most Holy Family Monastery are sedevacantists, and do not have faculties to hear confessions. Unless the person confessing is in immediate danger of death, and these priests are validly ordained, the confessions they hear are invalid.
 
Thank you all for answering.

They do not hear confessions at MHFM because they are brothers there, not priests.
They advise to seek confession by a validly ordained priest that is not in heresy (if possible).
I would hope to go to a priest that was ordained prior to 1968 but I am afraid that there are none.
OR to a valid Eastern Rite priest as any other priest may not be valid or may choose not to give absolution if validly ordained as there seems to be a lot of infighting among the traditionalists, some of whom may be excommunicated but claim to be in communion with the Holy See but I just want a valid priest.
I want absolution and don’t want to make another mistake.
 
Wouldn’t any parish priest fulfill the role of a “validly” ordained priest? And could you clarify what you mean by the potential of a priest refusing to give absolution? They can do this with a good reason, but why are you in particular worried about this?
 
Well, priests don’t refuse absolution anymore, so I am told. I will believe it.
But now I would like to say…
Please ignore this thread.
I was just confused about something. I’ll go and read more.

If you are so concerned, I would advise seeking a priest of the FSSP or Institute of Christ the King, who are ordained using the 1962 missal.

However, it seems you have deeper issues than what you feel you need to confess. If you believe that the Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI is not, in fact, the Pope, then you are schism with Holy Mother Church. Don’t let a group of misguided, often bitter people lead you away from the truth. I love tradition just as much as you do, I try to attend the traditional Mass whenever I can, but a huge part of being Catholic is being humble and obedient- we accept things even though we disagree. It may be hard, but if we are Catholic then the Pope is the Pope, the mouthpiece of Christ on earth. We can’t simply leave and have a tantrum because we disagree. Our salvation is put in more jeopardy by thinking we know better than the Holy Father, and leaving the Church than it is by the worst abuses at a modern Mass.
 
Most Holy Family Monastery (the Diamond brothers), by its nature is not valid, so whether they would consider something “valid” is meaningless.

Why? Priest ordained after 1968 no make strong juju?

I had to read that again to understand.

By Most Holy Family’s definition there are only two Catholics in the whole world who are not heretics- the two Diamond brothers themselves. They even say Hutton Gibson is a heretic and going to hell, even though he’s a sede too.

I can’t stress it emphatically enough- stay far far away from the Diamond Bros!
 
Don’t be affraid to seek Absolution. But you will have to ask for it. The younger clergy only know the Sacrament of Reconsiliation as pastoral duty more akin to a counceling session.

The simplification of the Rite of Ordination in the post Vatican II church did not remove the priest’s authority to absolve one’s sins. But it also no longer makes it a mandate of the Ordination. Priests Ordained after 1968 have been sent forth on a new mission. Primarily to celebrate mass. It is to us Catholics, cognisent of our sins to ask for Absolution from our priest bound by tradition and vested with authority to provide this absolution. Some of younger priests just don’t get asked. Train them. If we want an more solumn parish then we have to make it so. The Novus Ordo as a whole empowered us to do just that. Make the Rite our own. Some parishes have taken this too far, nearly invalidating the Rite by irreverent additions during the Mass. In many instances clearly suppressing the desire of older parishoners to attend a solumn mass.

It has been over 40 years since Vatican II opened the door for change. What sadens me is that we the Catholic faithful did not fulfill our role of participation in a more Orthodox fashion. For me and this is only my opinion, we went too far with these reforms. Theologically, at least from this layman’s perspective almost Lutheran in our undertanding of the liturgy if a Catholic doesn’t have faith in the authority of his priest.
