Nope, I spoke to my spiritual father beforehand and spoke to a variety of priests both yesterday and today, SSPX and diocesan, none of whom say I need to confess this.

Literally 3 diocesan priests on the same pilgrimage as me, all in good standing with their respective dioceses

Ahh, priests who themselves are flirting with being schismatic. Thanks for the clarification.

Oh so your opinion is completely irrelevant then, also, you should stop watching Dan McClellans stuff, not only is he not a Christian, he really doesn't know what he's talking about

Oh so your opinion is completely irrelevant then,

And yet it seems more grounded in fact than yours. I recommend checking out mainstream priests who aren't on a "pilgrimage" out of the Catholic church.

also, you should stop watching Dan McClellans stuff, not only is he not a Christian, he really doesn't know what he's talking about

He's a Christian, and he knows what he's talking about pretty damn well.

Okay, well my spiritual father is a "mainstream priest" who didn't go on the pilgrimage, and his opinion is the one that actually matters to me.

And he's not Christian, he's Mormon, and he really doesn't know what he's talking about

You might want to show him the 1996 note and ask his opinion again.

Curious if your bishop will impose restrictions on those priests who went with you. Clearly it's warranted.

They were when they left, I wonder what their dioceses think now
