I stand to be corrected but in the video didn't the woman ask about Novus Ordo Masses only during the week and elsewhere, that she was well aware of the Traditional Mass? If so, that plainly shows that she was not ignorant of the true Mass.

Yes, she was aware of the TLM, because she attended it on Sundays, if I recall correctly, and I'm pretty sure I'm recalling it correctly. She asked +W about attending the New Mass on weekdays, if it was alright to do that. He said "Yes."

I don't have a problem with someone attending the New Mass on weekdays. That may be trad heresy, I know. +W has been convicted of the same. 

There was quite a bit more than, "Can I go to the new Mass?  Sure."

To refresh your memory, begin listening at 1:01:44.

 

He begins precisely as M. Taylor said was correct (and in line with Msgr. Lefebvre) in 1996: Distinguishing between principle and practice; the objective principle and subjective circuмstances.

Can anyone explain why Msgr. Williamson's position was correct in 1996, but erroneous in 2015-2022?

M. Johnson had it right all along: Abbes Pfeiffer/Hewko saw an opportunity to exploit their simple faithful, in an attempt to get the resistance to head their way.

Keep in mind that Pfeiffer/Hewko were already publicly at war with Msgr. Williamson for two years regarding:

-They were angry he would not place Pfeiffer in charge of a seminary
-They were angry that he would not endorse their "red light" position
-They were angry that he would not organize on the basis of a traditional congregation, calling the independent enclave plan "stupid"
-They had been publicly accusing him of "sheep stealing" since 2014, when he supported Msgr. Zendejas servicing the Ridgefield area resistance chapels
-They were criticizing him publicly for confirming Feeneyite faithful
-They were resistant to his requesting them to separate from the Mexicano

By the time Mahopac rolled around, it was one more complaint to fill the pews.

Fortunately, M. Taylor has refuted all this business by showing the incredible consistency in Msgr. Williamson between 1996 - 2022, which he is clear to state was the position of Msgr. Lefebvre.

Archbishop Lefebvre only admitted to validity. Everyone should know that validity does NOT equal grace (see the Church's teaching on attendance at VALID Orthodox sacraments that nevertheless are not allowed).  See also here for how +W and Johnson are wrong on this issue according to Church teaching. https://fsspx.news/en/content/32569

I've been around long enough to recall when both +W and Johnson used to say the opposite of what they are saying about grace in the New Mass. It's actually well docuмented, particularly in +W's case. Maybe the fight has gone out of him?

And yet the Resistance accuses the SSPX of going liberal.

Don't believe fairy tales: One lone Hewkonian hiding out in the anonymous forum casting unsubstantiated lies may be representative of Hewkonian "sanctity," but absent any substantitive backing. The Claim against Williamson was self-refuting, against which the Hewkonian could muster no response, and the claim against Johnson was completely gratuitous (a lie).  

Then you have no problem with someone attending the New Mass.  Period.  At that point, why are you a Traditional Catholic again, refusing submission to the lawful hierarchy of the Church (as you see it)?

I do have a problem with the New Mass. It's not like the woman in question was fulfilling her Sunday obligation at the NO. And some New Masses are worse than others. Way worse, so it can be, to a certain extent, a subjective matter. 

And just maybe, I like to see smug laymen on this forum (who claim much more authority than the Church gives them), go ballistic.

LOL. Why is going to a NO on Sunday bad but on weekdays good?

What does this post have to do with the thread?  Nobody here is promoting the new Mass.

To divorce the idea of grace from the New Mass from the New Mass itself is kind of schizophrenic. They are inextricably linked.
