I had to look it up but this is what I found:

"On 24 July 1904, Solanus Casey was ordained to the priesthood by Archbishop Sebastian Messmer at the St. Francis of Assisi Church in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He will be ordained a “sacerdotus simplex” or “Mass Priest” which prevented him from hearing confessions or preaching doctrinal sermons because of a judgment that he had not performed sufficiently well in his seminary classes. Indeed, Fr. Casey had great difficulty in seminary as most of the classes were in German, with which he was not very familiar."

IIRC the story goes that after his passing, or not, anyway a piece of paper was found that was actually giving permission for him to receive all the faculties of priest.

Am not remembering more of this story, but there was some reason this didn’t happen then.

And we remember Fr Benedict Groeschel in seminary entering the chapel at night to see Fr Solanus , I guess, in ecstasy.
