The Society's marriage annulment tribunal is thus supplied with jurisdiction in each particular case, both to make a statement of moral certitude for the good of souls (i.e., there never was a marriage in the first place), and to give a decree stating this fact. and it is an illegal, schismatic act whenever SSPX pretends to do it. No such decrees can be given without jurisdiction.

<> correct. No Jurisdiction, No Ministry is axiomatic for Catholics. What is odd is this is exactly the same argument that Lefebvre made during Vatican Two. Then, he signed all the Documents, left the Council and said he didn't sign the documents and he started a ministry with jurisdiction WITHIN the legitimate Jurisdiction of legitimate Bishops.

Today, we refer to those acts as "Preserving Tradition."<>
