This month draws to a close with yet another illicit consecration in the Catholic Church. More minor in scope but extreme in position, the Papa Stronsay-based Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer (Transalpine Redemptorists) had their abbot, Fr Michael Mary Sim, consecrated by sedevacantist Bishop Pierre Roy. Bishop Roy stated that he asked Fr Michael Mary to accept consecration “despite some initial reluctance”.
Bishop Roy said: “Father Michael Mary will not be a mere dispenser of sacraments, as some today seek to reduce the Catholic episcopate to. He will be consecrated in the absence of an apostolic mandate, since the See of Rome is clearly occupied by the enemies of God.”
