    • Benedict said in a new book, Light of the World, that Williamson was "never Catholic in the proper sense" because he converted from Anglicanism to the SSPX. "That means that he has never lived in the great Church" under papal authority, he said.http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20101120/ts_nm/us_pope_traditionalist_Jєωιѕн

    Williamson conversion story:
    http://truerestoration.blogspot.com/2006/10/interview-with-bishop-richard-n.html

    Note-Williamson has never denied the Papacy, nor stated Benedict is not Pope. That said, does this mean a well meaning sedevacantist is not Catholic? Granted, the book and the news writer may very, that is true and one has to wait for the book, compare Englsih/German translations, but if it is accurate…

    • What needs to be answered is this: Was Ratzinger ever a Catholic "in the proper sense"?

    Did he have the Faith and then succuмb to heresy and/or apostasy at some point, or has he always been a phoney?

    • And Benedict's definition of the "great Church" is the counterfit one that is full of Protestantism and even Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ? Yeah, thank goodness Bishop Williamson isn't a part of that church.

    • That was good detective work by Gerard.

    I wasn't aware that BXVI was incorrect in that statement.

    He also raises some good points.

    • I rather liked Gerard myself in days gone by. I really like Bishop Richard Williamson and it saddens me to see him abused as he is.
