I have to wonder why HE spends so much time focused upon +Fellay and newly elected SG Pagliarani. No great wisdom is needed to understand that Fr. P. will never turn things around in the Society. I think that most of us know this almost intuitively. Pagliarani is a company man, whose appointment had to pass muster with +Fellay & Co. This is not rocket science. So why does HE bother to explain that which most dialed in trads already realize?
At this point, I speculate, neither +Fellay or SG Pagliarani mean anything to most of us, and more importantly, they mean little for the restoration of true Catholic tradition. Their time came and passed. Hopefully, most have moved on as best they can. For those who long nostalgically for the good ‘ol days of sspx, please get over it. Renew devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Say more Rosaries and be patient. The Beast’s days are numbered.
BTW, if it is true that half the sspx seminarians were “modernists” in the 80s, don’t both Bp. Williamson and the Archbishop bear at least some responsibility for that? After all, they were in charge of the formation of these prospective priests.
I’ve always greatly admired and respected Bp. W. But I get a little concerned by his frequent references to a has-been, compromising bishop like +Fellay and an effete new sspx leader like Fr. P. Let us all look forward to the eventual triumph of Mary’s Immaculate Heart. I, for one, refuse to look back at what was, or, alas, may never have been.
Pray for the true Consecration of Russia and a period of peace to follow.
