Why "Father" Williamson but "Archbishop" Vigano? One-hand ordination? Annulments. Saving Trump.

Houston, is there a Problem?

  • This letter was written back in 2012 by Father Egregyi as an eyewitness to the ordinations in 1976:

    For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul?

  • Wow.  So, he not only questions Bishop Williamson's consecration, but he also questions his ordination.  I didn't see that coming.  In fact, his viewers didn't ask him about that, but he chose to go there.  And yet he never tells us who his "source" is.  He only refers to him as "that individual". 

    So, according to Fr Jenkins, the SSPV must be the only group who is without doubt, eh?

    Good to see.  But weren't there any pictures?  Videos?  Assuming these ordinations was a public event, why wouldn't there be plenty of hard evidence rather than having to take this or that person's word?

  • Cardinal Joseph Mindszenty was imprisoned by the communists in Budapest in 1948.  While in prison he ordained several priests: no holy oils, no sacred instruments, only lay witnesses, no Mass, no Roman Missal.  Card. Mindszenty had memorized the preface and he imposed the hands and said the words of ordination.  Imagine some person saying, "Well, did he impose one or two hands?"  Really?

    In 1976?  VCRs didn't exist, neither did camcorders.  Picturewise, what existed then?  Polariods?

    OK, no video possibility at that time perhaps.  But I grew up in the 70's.  There were most certainly cameras and pictures other than "Polaroids".  Were they used?

    I'm sure they exist, but they aren't exactly "shareable" online.  Someone would have to scan them all into digital format.

    Here is a history of home movies.

    Maybe they didn't have the money to have the equipment.

    And there are companies that digitize old media.

    Dear 2Vermont,

    In Sacramental Theology, the burden of proof rests with the accuser.  Fr. Jenkins repeats secondhand (hearsay) the testimony of an unnamed person who did not swear to him the veracity of his account.  Quo vadis Domine presented the photo of a handwritten, dated, and signed docuмent by a witness to the Ordination.

    Until Fr. Jenkins presents his source as a witness in person, or with similar docuмentation, the evidence provided by Quo vadis Domine out-weighs Fr. Jenkins' story.

    And if they exist, they should make it public in that way.  It would put to bed these accusations, no? Wouldn't that be worth the effort?  Or are you against this?

    I doubt there exists photo evidence of the "exact moment" of the laying of hands.  The people who were sitting in the front pews (who could take such pictures) would be priests and I'm sure they were praying and watching, not "capturing the moment" (which is an odd phenomenon only made "normal" in the last 15 years, with the advent of smartphones).


    People just didn't record/take photos back then, like today.  Most photos would've been done AFTER the ceremony, not during.

    Dear OABrownson,
    This is an interesting story. Could you please share the source? Thank you.
