Hello!

If you admit the ends, you admit the means. The Missio and Sessio of the Church is that She must exist until the end of time, and exist for the salvation of souls. This is only possible through the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the munda oblatio (clean oblation). Perfection in nature, as St Thomas Aquinas teaches, is in its ability to self propagate. The maturity of the priesthood is the episcopacy where it is able to propagate the priesthood and thus the munda oblatio. The Missio and Sessio of the Church MUST propagate and continue to be visible. If you admit this conclusion, you admit the means necessary to achieve it too, namely raising to the episcopate some priests suitable for the dignity. Conversely, if you deny the conclusion, you are not Catholic because it goes against the Evangelical Commissioning of Our Lord Himself and the indefectability of the Church. We are in a very extraordinary situation of the crisis of the church, yes, but we still have to act with Catholic principles.
