A close acquaintance of mine received an email recently addressed to "Mr. Q."  Obviously, "Mr. Q." is a pseudonym, selected by +W himself.  The true identity of this person can not be revealed at the present time. 
Before reading +W's email reprinted verbatim below, you might want to quickly review the two reports, (discussed at length on other Cathinfo threads), which HE's email addresses.  These reports had been emailed to HE earlier for his perusal and comment:

1) The short update from Prof. Arthur Butz: http://mauricepinay.blogspot.com/  Monday,  (Scroll down a bit)

2)The article entitled Maximilian Krah and Menzingen: A Cause for Serious Concern?
http://www.cathinfo.com/catholic.php?a=topic&t=13316

Following is a copy of that email, word for word,untouched and unexpurgated from His Excellency.  I guarantee, as a traditional Catholic and an SSPX chapel member, that it is not a forgery:

Dear Mr. Q,

The reports, (i.e. referenced above) you send are essentially accurate, give or take a few details.

As for the confusing events, here is my version:--

I employ Nahrath. BpF sends Fr Angles to tell me (Friday mid-day) that unless I give up Nahrath he will expel me from the SSPX. It seems to me that my appeal can only go ahead with either a non-defending lawyer approved by Menzingen, or a truly defending lawyer that will not be approved by Menzingen. On my behalf Fr A e-mails (about 13h00 GMT Friday) to BpF that I give up appealing in front of the German courts, and ironically I add that it would be a kindness if Menzingen would pay the fine. BpF soon e-mails back, "Deo Gratias. No problem for paying the fine" (Friday, about 15h00 GMT).

On Saturday at a time I do not know, BpF has the SSPX Secretary make the Press Declaratiuon that unless I renounce the "neo-Nazi", I shall be expelled. But also that afternoon, I learn that I could for instance make a Declaration in front of the Regensburg court, hardly needing any lawyer except to be there physically present (German law requires somebody to be there to stand for the accused). The dilemma above mentioned is solved. I decide to continue with the appeal, because Lawyer Nahrath is not after all the only pebble on the beach, but I do not go back on the decision to renounce Nahrath himself. He perfectly understands the whole shemozzle.

BpF does recognize my right to defend myself. He only does not want the SSPX in any way to be associated with "neo-Nazis". That is why I acted the willow on Lawyer Nahrath, but the oak on the appeal.

I hope that makes things more clear. By all means share these details with anyone else who may be confused.


All good wishes,          +Richard Williamson.
