Gerard,
How do you know this with absolute moral certainty?
[referring to SSPX absolutions being always valid]
Certitude is either absolute or moral. Absolute certitude is not possible in this life, therefore, based on my best and honest discernment, I have moral certitude on the issue.
And I didn't say they are always valid, because you still have to hear the proper absolution if you are suspicious of such things. You said "without a hint of a doubt".
This would obviously include absolute, and moral lack of doubts.
Without a hint...
You are not sure.
No. Moral certitude does not mean a person has doubts. It means a person could objectively be wrong but can act in good conscience. Absolute certitude means there is no possibility for error.
Doubt isn't even relevant to the discussion except in my reference to its absence. So again, you are not sure.

You don't understand. What do you mean by "sure"?

Sure has only one meaning.

Cut the bs os. When it comes to sacraments and theology there are levels of doybt and certainty. Positive vs negative doubt etc

Go thy ways, old Jack;
die when thou wilt, if manhood, good manhood, be
not forgot upon the face of the earth, then am I a
shotten herring. There live not three good men
unhanged in England; and one of them is fat and
grows old: God help the while! a bad world, I say.
I would I were a weaver; I could sing psalms or any
thing. A plague of all cowards, I say still.

When it comes to Ecclesial Jurisdiction one is either sure a priest has it or is not, based on fact.

No. That's B.S. Supplied Jurisdiction, common error, extraordinary circumstances are all there in Canon Law (and common sense).

Wait, does this necessarily refer to episcopal ordinations/consecrations?
