Father Moulin asks Bishop Williamson to go to the General Chapter despite the prohibition of Bishop Fellay:

| Quote: | Open Letter to Archbishop Richard Williamson
Bishop,
Please forgive the public nature of these lines that I would respectfully and kindly to send you, following the latter's internal mail Secretary General of the Society informing us of your exclusion to the next General Chapter Ecône.
Also, is it the personal friend of Archbishop Lefebvre, the Dean of the bishops of the Society, the former superior, Deputy Director of the Seminary of Ecône, my former professor of philosophy and theology, to a Brother elder in the priesthood and finally to the Friend of more than forty years of my family providentially met under the aegis of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, I respectfully ask you not to consider this letter, a likely consequence of and unfortunate misunderstanding about you, and not to give up to go as planned in Ecône for the General Chapter in July. It is true that in these difficult times through which the fraternity according to the charitable words of King Louis XVI expressed in his admirable will "often in times of trouble and turmoil, it is not master of himself."
To ignore the canon 1331 § 1 and No. 2 clumsily invoked against yourself as well condemn the "rebellion and disobedience" of Archbishop Lefebvre and undermine the legitimacy of his disobedience towards the modernist towards Rome who heads the Church since the last Council!
Real misunderstanding, if I judge my personal knowledge of our Superior General with whom I entered the seminary of Ecône there are now almost 35 years, which allows me to say that one who, for months, if one shows real kindness, understanding and charity towards former enemies of the Church and the Brotherhood, and accepts in an open dialogue with them since they seem to suspend their persecution against us ... can not now forgive his "colleague weapon" some differences of obedience after so many years of common struggles, faithful and heroic service of Christ the King, his church, Faith, Holy Mass and the priesthood in line of battle of Archbishop Lefebvre.
He wants more punishment that a real "Bishop talks" and responds modestly weekly legitimate questions of "Catholics perplexed" at this trend but positive long considered the conciliar church. When very delicate when they are asked to take careful and objective study of the texts of Vatican II, and "read between the lines' texts, press releases and decisions of the Roman authorities, in order to recognize these changes pleased that the bow, not secretly but discreetly, to review favorably on behalf of any tradition, fair judgment on provisions of the Roman authorities against us and sincerity to make some reform of their "church". For example, be attentive to the facts, such as that which occurred recently in Corsica, where the local bishop has generously offered to come and confirm the faithful in our chapel, according to the traditional rite ...
Moreover, as it is, my lord, that providentially you are not engaged in doctrinal discussions with the Roman authorities, it seems to me that our Superior, concerned about our future independence of words, and apostolic action Fraternity "intramural" can not but rejoice in your freedom of speech, authentic and traditional privilege of every Catholic bishop, both pastor, guardian and defender of the little flock against all enemies of the Church, both from outside from the inside. The Church shows us does not St Paul preaching the gospel doctrine "in season and out" to take seriously and forcefully even the great St. Peter himself? "When Cephas came to Antioch, I resisted him in the face because he happened to have strong ... I said to Peter in front of everyone ... "(Gal. II)
It is difficult also to imagine that our Superior General, who was one of the students more attentive to your lecture at the seminary of Ecône, and who owes you, and Bishop Tissier de Mallerais, the most of his solid philosophical and theological formation, can in this particularly critical for the future of our Fraternity, dispense your expertise and your lights at the next General Chapter which probably mark its history.
I find it especially difficult to conceive that our Superior, always anxious to unity in the Brotherhood, can legitimately exclude one of four bishops chosen by Archbishop Lefebvre himself without breaking the close and indissoluble union willed by him, and destroy their harmonious complementarity.
Your servant is personally convinced that you have been providentially chosen by our Founder, in order to effectively prevent, for your personal charisma and meritorious convert from Anglicanism, a protestant always possible "in our modest fraternity after attending powerless, to that made for fifty years in the whole Church.
I find it difficult to understand that he wants to go without your precious knowledge of subversive tactics, modernist, liberal revolutionaries and enemies of the Church. Training largely enriched over time by your contacts close and friendly with some men who have been providentially raised up to our time (although, alas, a number of them have become quite unpopular in our traditional media following the the structure of a certain "Gentleman Burglar"!) I think particularly to these gentlemen and Pierre Virion A.-M. Bonnet Viller ... and many others including John Vaquier ... who are all writers need to know about forming a good understanding of the terrible crisis of faith, social policy and we are going through and including our Superior can not ignore the writings on the recommendation of the Lord inviting his disciples to "be as simple doves and wise as serpents. "
I find it hard to imagine the last General Chapter without your distinguished presence, which could perhaps out of solidarity, to deprive him also of the presence of your two other Brothers in the Episcopate, but also to deprive our Superior General of your valuable advice in the final drafting of the underlying reasons that will necessarily move to the Roman authorities to justify the refusal of the Society to accept the terms of the latest proposal of Cardinal Levada he deemed unacceptable.
God grant that this misunderstanding promptly and happily dispelled, the General Chapter in its entirety, can find its legitimacy, and allow, in peace and unity to all the delegates to agree, both with time to meditate fruit this truth beautifully expressed by St. John Chrysostom said that "there is more to rely on the wounds of a friend than kisses from an enemy eager" to work and finally to ask the Roman authorities, with the lifting of excommunication of the two major Forget the full restoration of our revered and regretted 'founder Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre to whom we owe so much!
Hoping with all my heart that you take into account my supplication, please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my respectful and priestly friendship in Christo Rege and Maria.
