Thanks for posting Matthew. This interview contains some interesting insights into the neo-SSPX and the campaign against Bishop Williamson by the liberal Swiss superiors before the Resistance split:
After the solemn Mass, Bishop Williamson came up to me in the sacristy and we arranged to have coffee in the bishop's suite in Zaitzkofen on Thursday 30 October at 3 pm. Apparently, witnesses to this conversation reported everything to their superiors.When we returned from Lourdes, Swedish journalists arrived at the seminary. They were introduced by the superiors as friends of the Society who wanted to promote it through a TV report. The clerics were encouraged to give interviews to them. However, when I saw them entering the chapel without kneeling down or making the sign of the cross I knew that something was wrong here. They definitely did not make a good impression. On 29 October, the day before my scheduled meeting with Bishop Williamson, immediately after lunch I was summoned for an interview with the Seminary Rector Fr. Frey, who at the time was nervously ill, would not leave his room and appeared to be taking strong psychotropic medication. He ordered me to leave the seminary by 8 am the following day. He accused me of disobedience, distrust of superiors and organising orgies during the SSPX pilgrimage to Częstochowa, which was completely absurd. He did not present me with any evidence of my alleged guilt, only stated that my expulsion was requested by Father Pfluger and that all priests supported the decision. As it turned out when I went to talk to the priests, this was a lie.
I called to tell Father Stehlin [at that time SSPX superior for Central and Eastern Europe residing in Warsaw, Poland] about the situation. He said that it was completely absurd, as he had been on a pilgrimage to Częstochowa and that he would intervene in Menzingen and I should come to Warsaw. I had a few hours to pack up, practically no opportunity to say goodbye to the other seminarians. When I went to Father Pfluger with a smile on his face he said: we don't need priests like you in the Society. Actually, he should say in the Newsociety. In the evening I went to the music room. There was a beautiful bust of Our Lord with a crown of thorns made of white marble. I prayed and in my head I had words from the Book of Isaiah: for ‘my thoughts are not your thoughts: nor your ways my ways‘. I think it was one of the breakthrough moments of my life. The moment of true acceptance of the words of the Lord's Prayer: ‘fiat voluntas tua'.
The next day I was escorted to the train station and took a train to Warsaw. The Swiss superiors could breathe a sigh of relief. There was no longer any danger that their plans would be thwarted when Bishop Williamson found out about the discarded letters and the ‘Catholic’ journalists’. And in just a few days they asked Bishop Williamson at the end of a long interview about the dogma of the nєω ωσrℓ∂ σr∂єr, the h0Ɩ0cαųst. A trap cunningly prepared by the sons of this world.
