A person I baptized in the traditional rite in 2020 has requested a copy of his baptismal certificate from the church of his baptism in order to receive the sacrament of Confirmation. They called me wondering why for the reason that his Confirmation is properly recorded in their baptismal register.
Evidently he now belongs to an imitation Catholic cult which rejects sacraments administered by priests who were ordained by the wrong bishop or in the wrong non-antique rite.
My question: why is he not, in order to be consistent, getting himself re-baptized?
The answer is because he's trying to be a cult member within a canonically irregular ecclesial group that presumes in favor of the sacraments as Catholics do. That is the reason why they are requiring a copy of his baptismal certificate before administering Confirmation.
Perhaps he'll figure that out ...
