Are there any of the ‘independent Catholic groups’ that didn’t get really liberal really fast when they split? I guess I don’t count SSPXpXxsRRXXwhatevers for obvious reasons. What about the Polish National cats? Do they ordain priestesses or what?

There is a so-called Thuc line of validly but illicitly consecrated bishops, named for the Archbishop of Hue, Vietnam, of the early 1960s, who was the brither of President Ngo Dinh Diem. He left the Church because he imagined the Church as complicit in the assassinations of three of his brothers including the President. IIRC, the Thuc line of bishops and their followers maintain quite traditional Catholicism other than their sedevacantist tendencies. No women priests.

Splitting off from SSPX were nine priests who were open sedevacantists (even LeFebvre and his servants did not buy ff on that one). Like SSPX, they say only traditional Tridentine Masses, preach orthodox Catholic morality but, unlike SSPX, claim that Pope Pius XII was the last legitimate pope. No priestesses. Except for the sedevacatist nonsense, they would be exemplary Catholics just as would be SSPX except for their defiance and disobedience to papal authority.

Polish National Catholics (in the USA) do not ordain women, maintain a reasonable level of orthodox belief but split from the Utrecht schism when it started ordaining priestesses in 1996 or so.

May God bless you and yours!
