Author Topic: An interesting aside to the Priebke story... (Read 1732 times)

Thanks to the French site "Un Eveque s'est leve," a clear example of duplicity is demonstrated in the affair of Bishop Williamson's exclusion.

The Italian District of the SSPX also had to do some of its own damage-control following Erikh Priebke's funeral. On the district web-page is published an interview given by the District Superior, Fr Pier-paolo Petrucci, to a certain Marco Bongi.

The probing interviewer did not hesitate (at D9.) to establish a link between the attitude of the present SSPX and that of Bishop Williamson (and also with that of Fr Florian Abrahamowicz, who left the SSPX some years before).

Fr Petrucci replies : "I'd like to make it clear that both Bishop Williamson and Fr Abrahamowicz were excluded from our Society PRECISELY BECAUSE OF (proprio per via di) certain of their positions being incompatible with the vocation of the Society..."

Which is news to regular readers of the site since barely a year before the same District Superior had said in an official statement, concerning the exclusion : "the Italian District reiterates that this was justified by PURELY DISCIPLINARY motives, which had been ongoing for several years."

http://www.sanpiox.it/public/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=772:comunicato-del-distretto-ditalia-della-fraternita-san-pio-x&catid=53:attualita&Itemid=50

This at least concurs with the statement issued by Menzingen, via DICI : "Bishop Richard Williamson, having distanced himself from the management and the government of the SSPX for several years, and refusing to show due respect and obedience to his lawful superiors, was declared excluded from the SSPX by decision of the Superior General and its Council, on October 4th, 2012."
(Communique, Menzingen, October 24 2012)

So which is it, then ? PURELY disciplinary or PRECISELY ideological?

Fr Petrucci reproaches other journalists in his interview for making unfair "amalgams" of people with "buzz-word" ideas, creating "shock-horror" scenarios to destroy reputations and to make false accusations.

It seems, however, that at least in this matter, he is no more objective than them and just as capable of the same "spin" for opportunistic gain. He is not alone in the SSPX, alas!

The expulsion of +Williamson has been the most heinous, reprehensible act committed by the Sup Gen since the start of the crisis in the neo-SSPX...what's gnawed at me is this: Bp Fellay wouldn't have committed this act of treachery if he didn't know there was a plurality of corrupt district superiors ( mostly appointed by him ) backing him up...along with a degree of indifferent ( or worse ) laity...it has certainly cast a pall over the X-SSPX that, for me, will never really go away...
Add in some of my other favorite priests ( Chazal, Pfeiffer, Hewko, etc ) and it's certainly sapped my spirit..the avg Fellay-bots would say that I'm suffering fm misplaced hero-worship....they're, once again, wrong...Rather this whole affair has been an affront to my strong sense of justice...if only others shared the same.

Current district superiors toe the party which means them having to accept mainstream political positions somewhat at odds with those held in former times. Part of the new look; they are now running with the herd.

The treachery began for me hours after the infamous Swedish interview. That's when I finally pulled my head out of a dark place.

Likewise for me, but I would not say "the treachery began" but that it was when I became aware of the treachery. Even then, I did not so much assume treachery right away, but, to give the benefit of the doubt, weakness at first, I hoped. But as events & information unfolded, especially with the "Krahgate" revelations at the end of 2010, and then GREC revelations, it became clearer that there was indeed treachery, and with that, the realization that the "treachery" started much earlier.

The nose rings have now become visible and the Judaic slavers are tugging at the halters. The herd that was heading to Fatima is now being diverted to Auchwitz.
