I don't think that's true about public prayers not being offered for Bishop Williamson.

Based upon?

Parish bulletin.

That's right.  They're covering up the truth to please a world that has gone insane.  Thank you for nailing the whole problem with the SSPX's compromising approach.

What "truth" are the "covering up"?  

From false premises -- that one should dialogue with non-Catholic usurpers to bring them around to being Catholic -- lead false conclusions -- that one must play nice with the enemy and be "diplomatic."

They're not "dialoguing" they are expositing sound doctrine to deeply confused men.  If these men convert from their errors, then all the better.  But since you've abandoned all effort at looking at this problem as objectivley as possible, to you they appear as mere "co-conspirators" willfuly deceiving people.  This malicious attitude will be your undoing.  

Sometimes "playing nice" is appropriate, other times it is not.  The infused virtue of prudence and counsel would shed light regarding approriate actions in concrete circuмstances.    

But if you accept the premises, if you accept that Bishop Fellay's approach is correct, as you must if you are in SSPX -- otherwise you'd be sedevacantist -- then he is doing the right thing.

 

It's the approach of the SSPX itself, to engage in this "talks" with men in positions of authority, the legal presumption being they still retain authority and that errors, no matter how grave, do not cast one out of the Church.  

You think in sweeping, rash generalities which makes for very great injustices.  

Don't blame me.  I am not the one who suggested you dialogue with Judaizers.  But if you do this, don't expect to insult their sacred cow, the h0Ɩ0cαųst, and get away with it.

See how you use sensational terms in order to foment anger and emotion.  They are not "Judaizers," they are Catholic bishops who have been poisoned by false doctrine and the spirit of the world, adopting strange philosophies as well.  The issue surrounding the so-called "h0Ɩ0cαųst" is just one small part of a much bigger problem.  

I cannot say for sure the SSPX are "part of the plot" but it sure looks that way.

Not too long ago you were "certain" of this.  Really, if you're writing a script that is detached from reality, if you wish to continue to fuel your fantasies informed by Hollywood, then you ought to keep them on as conspirators.  It makes for better entertainment.

But since you are such the great Evangelist for Truth, why do you run and hide when your opinion machine is confronted?

My opinion of the SSPX has gone pretty low. Bishop Williamson is a holy Bishop suffering grave persecution at the hands of his "brother" priests and bishops. He is like Christ.

My opinion of Mr. Hoffmann had gone low, but

THIS ARTICLE NHAS NAILED IT!

There has been dead silence on the part of SSPV and assorted SV groups, doing their тαℓмυdic thing.

Of late, mine has as well. I can't comprehend the ambiguous answers that he gives when asked if he's a Catholic or why his blog does not ever explicitly defend Catholicism. His blog is openly religious for crying out loud! There's no excuse.

His magnum opus, Judaism Discovered, is written as an appeal for Jews to convert to Christ - but he never points them to the Catholic Church! instead, he always defaults to the ambiguous noun/adjective "Christian" (as it is often used by Protestants).

He's even criticized the Novena of Our Lady of Perpetual Help because he says that it negates Fear of God!

Mr. Hoffman, if you are reading this and I have spoken falsely, I apologize in advance. But your silence is truly disturbing to me.
