"believes their disobedience was very serious"
You made a mistake in the quote feature, Matto. I did not say that.
It goes like this:
He said that he did mention us as a family that had their children confirmed in Post Falls and he continues to warn everyone against the “Resistance priests” and Bishop Williamson. He believes their disobedience was very serious. I hope I have what he told me correct this time.
I had some comments on bvmknight's report. I suppose Fr. Johnson is one of
those who is not allowed to use the Internet, because if he could, it would be
great for him to come in here to give his version of this. And if he could, he
would have, already. And he has not, for if he had we would know it, even if
he were to use an unidentified username: we would know it is him, trust me.
And then, of course, there would be consequences. It seems to be the case
that he has chosen to avoid the consequences, and we can hardly blame him
for that. Still, there is some confusion boiling out of this and IMO it isn't doing
the Faithful any good, Resistance Faithful or NOT.
...........The screw turns...........
It seems bvmknight is worried that his family was mentioned in context of
having done something that they should not have done, and I can entirely
agree with that, because I would be concerned too, if that were said about
my family. I'll tell you this much: if I had a son or daughter who needed
Confirmation I would have been highly likely to have booked the trip
necessary for the sacrament in February as bvmknight did. I came close to
making the trip even WITHOUT having a confirmandus in tow!!
And I can assure you, I would not be afraid to take this up in person with Fr.
Johnson. This would be Fr. Michael Johnson. He is not one to be difficult to
speak with. I really hope there is some kind of misunderstanding going on.
...........Another turn...........
Remember, though, 'misunderstandings' can have serious consequences in
the SSPX. Fr. Hector Bolduc purchased all of St. Mary's Kansas parish
property with his own money, and started the parish there when there was
only two Faithful in the area. And he built not only the physical structure
but the people who support it. Then he went to Winona Minnesota and did
it all over again. Then he went to other places and got them started. He
did all that, with his own money, time, trouble and effort, and what did the
Society do for him? Expelled him. Why? It was a misunderstanding.
But did Fr. Bolduc ever complain about it?
Not a word. That's a tough act
to follow! If I were Fr. Johnson, I don't think I would even want to get started
down that road.
