Are Australian Catholics No Longer Receiving Valid Sacraments?

Dear Australian Bishops

Please see the documents below.

If there is truth in the claim that the changes in the consecration of bishops in 1968 resulted in the invalidity of the sacraments administered by bishops and priests, then we are faced with serious consequences.

It is thus not impossible that Australian bishops are not validly consecrated, and are unable to ordain priests.  Priests have not been celebrating Mass, hearing confessions, or providing comfort to the dying.

Catholics have not been attending valid Masses or receiving the Blessed Sacrament.  Married couples may not be really married.

The only exceptions would seem to be those who attend sacraments celebrated by the SSPX, whose bishops would appear to be authentic.

I should be grateful if this situation could be clarified, because if there is any truth here, those attending daily Mass have been wasting their time.  And their sins are retained.

PS Is it possible that today's Masses and confessions are really the simulation of a sacrament? This is treated very seriously by the Church.

There are virtually no bishops left due to the new rite of episcopal consecration
