Sorry Marsha just saw this. In addition to what SSS said, I clicked the link in the OP which brought me to a list of 'letters of support'. The first is Dr. White's:

Dear Fellow Catholics.
 
I do wish I could be in London to participate in your conference this weekend, but I have a prior commitment to travel to Iceland, then cruise the Norwegian fjords, and continue to Copenhagen. I will be lecturing on Ibsen, as well as that great Norwegian novel by Catholic convert Sigrid Undset Kristin Lavransdatter, and Hamlet. I am actually very much looking forward to the cruise as I am one-quarter Norwegian and have never visited Norway before. I did, however, grow up with the smell of lutefisk in my nostrils as my dear Aunt Arlene cooked it every New Year’s Eve for my Uncle Bob (he was the only family member who would actually eat the wretched stuff). But the stench of the lutefisk is nothing compared to the stinking lies about you and your conference that have been cooked up by the father of lies and spread in the media. No doubt this vicious attack has caused you some consternation, but know for a certainty that such a public firestorm of false abuse is a clear indication that you are on the right side and doing Our Lord’s work. If you are being smeared by the media with the same brush with which they sought to tar your good compatriot Bishop Williamson, then take it as an honor!
 
In the last act of Shakespeare’s Cymbeline, when events look hopeless and the ghosts of the hero’s family cry to heaven in complaint, Jupiter descends on an eagle and rebukes them for not having trusted in Divine Providence. In fact, Jupiter states directly: “Be not with mortal accidents oppressed,/ No care of yours it is, you know ‘tis ours./ Whom best I love, I cross; to make my gift the more delayed, delighted. Be content...” I wish you and all of us holding to the fullness of the Catholic faith and carrying on the banner of the good Archbishop Lefebvre many, many more such crosses. They are indeed a sign of God’s love for us. And they make us look forward with greater and greater anticipation to that day when, God willing if we hold the faith in its fullness, we will find delight in God’s eternal gifts.
 
If I could not join you now, I certainly hope through God’s grace to join you then!
 
Your friend in the ongoing battle and yours in Christ and His Blessed Mother,
 
David Allen White

From a distance, I worked with a group of likeminded former parishioners. Although many of them had wanted to start their own chapel since the day my transfer was announced, I insisted on them taking the time to study hard. I wanted the decision to be based on convictions rather than on emotions. Therefore, they met every Sunday after Mass, studying the main docuмents related to the SSPX crisis, and some articles I wrote for them. I also had issues of the Recusant magazine circulated among the members. They all loved the clarity and the tone of the magazine. It has been a tremendous help for me and for them. Finally, on May 15th, when they became really convinced and strong, I left my latest hiding place and moved back to Langley to meet with the group.We all decided it was time for action.


The faithful did lots of study under Father's guidance, every Sunday after Mass!

A Sheep with his lambs.



Deo Gratias!
