CI-

Just heard from Dr. David Allen White that he is currently spending most of his time writing a biography of Bishop Williamson.

Still waiting for a response on an ETA.

Good news indeed! What is it ETA?

This is edifying. Two fans of William Shakespeare are going to generate a
biography of our present age's Shakespearian real-life character, and not
make it into a 'play'. This could turn out to be not only great reading but
great literature by any standard.

(Something ELSE for Menzingen-denizens to get upset about, no doubt!)

(It might be interesting to see what happens if Dr. White presents himself
for Communion at an Accordista chapel.)

Elsa Zardini -- that's Air Traffic Control (ATC) jargon - three letters mean a lot more.

In order for this book to have a happy ending we'll need newly ordained bishops.

As long as they are carefully chosen and qualified for the task, then I agree.

Ordaining bishops too soon -- or the wrong priest(s) -- would be worse for Tradition than doing it when the time is right.

Just think of the harm a bad priest can do. Now magnify that for a Bishop.

Each priest has a "vocation" to that state. A similar vocation exists -- or doesn't exist -- for each priest called to the Episcopate.

Absolutely spot on!. What must be remembered is that no CV ( so to speak) is available on the current Resistance priests. No doubt Bishop Williamson will also seek character references from their former superiors.

...or his book even receiving as much as a whispered mention, never mind any type of review/advertisement by such self proclaimed Traditional Catholic publications as CFN, The Remnant, etc.

I wonder who would publish it.
