Talk all you want about Bishop Williamson and the recent lifting of the excommunications.
Whatever people what to talk about, I'll let them talk about it here (within reason).
What good is a message board if you can't talk about the topics that are important to you?
(And yes, there is a point to all this -- "other Catholic fora" are currently forbidding discussion of Bishop Williamson)
Actually, since he made it a public statement, I'm going to quote it here. This is from Servitum, the owner of Angelqueen:
I need a break from Bishop Williamson. For the time being, I'll be removing any Bishop Williamson threads I see. The AQ management has better things to do than spend 24/7 moderating threads having him as the subject.
Some here have waited two decades for the excomms to be removed. Instead of celebrating and popping the champagne we're spending our time answering to H.E.'s foolish and extremely poorly timed statements.
Not only has this been a problem for AQ, but trads and SSPX supporters the world over. A seminary in Germany has been raided and European District Superiors are having to be interviewed by police. Of course these thuggish tactics are reprehensible, but thus is the world.
FWIW, I know for a fact that most his colleagues in the society - high and low - are furious with him.
What should be done? His Excellency should issue and apology for the problems he's caused everyone, then crawl under a rock for a while until this all blows over.
As for me, I'm done with him here for quite some time.
I disagree that everyone "high and low" is furious with the good Bishop. I don't think Servitum knows that many SSPX priests or Faithful. He has a tendency to make broad generalizations based on a small sample.
I know he's full of it for one simple reason -- he disagrees with the Bishop on most things. He is NOT somehow the "most Catholic forum owner" just because he runs a forum with primarily SSPX members. On the contrary -- a bunch of the members there dislike Bishop Williamson.
They don't hold as much truth as the good Bishop -- so that is a mar on their "perfection" -- not necessarily sinful, but they certainly have a less than perfect love of the truth. Maybe it's the influence of the world?
I, however, applaud the Bishop as a modern-day Athanasius and a brave, virtuous truth-teller.
