I am ready to put my bishop’s powers at the disposal of whoever can make wise use of them.
May God Bless Bishop Williamson!
English lesson:
Notice:
he did NOT write, "I am ready to put my bishops powers at whomevers disposal to make use of."
But H.E. has a lot more to teach us than proper English grammar.
With all his fortitude and zeal, I am rather concerned for his physical safety.
I'm sure that he takes reasonable precautions, but I have to wonder how he's
going to manage international travel when there are no doubt a number of shady
characters afoot who are ready, willing and able to 'interfere,' shall we say?
It seems to me that in order to most effectively safeguard his own effectiveness,
the most expedient item on the agenda would be the consecration of two or
perhaps even 3 new bishops, but only one would be equally dangerous as is the
current state of affairs.
Now, I don't know what goes into the practical end of having 3 new bishops. But
I'm sure H.E. knows. And I highly suspect that has a lot to do with why he's
putting that new address in the EC 277: St. Marcel Initiative, P.O.Box 764,
Carrollton, VA 23314, USA, and
www.stmarcelinitiative.com/.
This image has an address, "dinoscopus.org..."
Now, I have some
sad news to report.
I have it from first hand experience that there is an influential attitude afoot that
responds to the question of "what will Bishop Williamson do now?!" with the pithy
retort of,
"He's going to go into business." This is not a sentence meant to be a
vote of approval, if you catch my drift.
It comes from an attitude that is thoroughly convinced:
~ that +Fellay has done no wrong in his 'exclusion' of his brother bishop,
~ that +W has committed offenses (yet unable to specify the nature of his
offense other than 'anti-Semitism' and vague 'disobedience' - for what?
Not sure),
~ the 'division' in the SSPX is due entirely to +W's acts,
~ that "All philosophy makes the simple complicated."
It may come as some surprise to readers to know that among these false statements,
the one that stands out to me as being the root of the problem is the last one.
The reason for this is quite easy to ascertain for anyone who really knows the
score. And if it were at all possible, I would appreciate either Matthew or
Fr. Pfeiffer, or Bishop Williamson himself to explain this phenomenon, because if
I try to do it, I doubt anyone will believe me.
Thank you.
