Talk:Donald Sanborn

sedeprivationist or sedevacantist?

The Wiki article on Sedeprivationism says "There is no real sede vacante since a man fills the role of potential Pope." Is it true then that his seminary is sedevacantist and he gives talks on sedevacantism?--Richardson mcphillips (talk) 16:50, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

SSPX Status

Apollinari Thank you for your clarifying edits, to the SSPX in 1975. I am a bit confused as to whether Sanborn had been ordained before or just after the SSPX had been "Axed". Could you take a second look at the sentence? –Zfish118^⋉talk 17:30, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

- Thanks, I will have a look at rewording it. The 'axe' fell in May (suppression within the diocese, it was primarily of 'diocesan right', so the first, main stage was suppression at diocesan level). The June ordinations should not properly have gone ahead but they did, Sanborn's included. The subsequent months saw Rome effectively ratify the suppression, mainly by rejecting Lefebvre's appeal to the May suppression. Apollinari (talk) 16:46, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

Neutrality tag

There appear to be no further major neutrality issues warranting the neutrality tag, removed here. The text makes clear that he is a former Roman Catholic priest, and an rector of an independent seminary. No position is taken in the text as to the correctness of his beliefs, but only a plain statement of his beliefs. The expert tag remains appropriate, as someone who is more familiar with Sanborn's history may be able to significantly improve the article. –Zfish118^⋉talk 18:37, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

Beware Careless Biased Edits

A raft of unfounded, unsourced, unexplained, inaccurate edits today. Not even the courtesy to explain or defend them. It is not up to any individual to 'judge' whether a person is a Roman Catholic bishop or not, it is a matter of objective fact. It is also clear that this living person would not claim to be a member of the US Catholic Bishops Conference or part of that church hierarchy. It is therefore inaccurate from every angle to describe him as such.

UPDATE: The article continues to be a fairly regularly target for unexplained, unsourced, inaccurate and possibly partisan edits. There is no excuse for this vandalism, and the lack of sources, courtesy, explanation says it all.Apollinari (talk) 15:18, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
