  • I can't get the link to Apple, but it is also on Spotify. It appears to be the same set of conferences in both places:

    Thank you.  I can't figure out how to download these ones yet ... seem to be evading the typical recording software I use (a browser plugin), so I'll grab a different one that I have LOL.

  • I ran into the same issue; I believe Spotify uses DRM software to prevent downloads. In Windows, you can route your audio output to a microphone input in Audacity to record the audio stream. The only downside is that it has to be recorded in real time.

    Thanks.  I have a browser plugin that'll do the same kind of thing, just record ... but also requires you to listen to the entire thing, which is fine, but takes much longer.

  • So, I decided to load the files onto my Google drive, so if you want the MP3s, you can download them here as a .zip file.  Caution that it's 899MB or so in size.

    Now Google Drive will warn you that it can't scan for viruses because it's too large.  Evidently the file size limit for virus scanning is 100MB, so eventually I'll break these down into sets of about 3 lectures at a time (for the 100MB) so people aren't put off by the lack of virus scanning, and also because it might be better to download than the single large file.

  • OK ... Google Drive stinks, so I went to box.com, but Box didn't provide the ability to do direct links with the free account so I bought an individual account here to his things.

    Here's a directly link the the MP3 versions for Lectures 1-27.

  • Wow! I am very glad I started this. So glad that Laudislaus is cleaning these up, Bernard Janzen interviews are posted, this is great. 

    And no, I have no connection to Fr. Trincado's website, other than I find it a good resource.

    Same.  Those recordings of his teaching class are priceless.  But the audio quality was terrible, where I could barely stand to listen.  But the clean up worked quite well, as we just had to wait for the technology to catch up.  There are a few spots here or there which get a little bit rough still, but they were spots that were completely un-decipherable, and perahps a second run through the de-noising algorthim will further clean them up.

  • That's amazing! I have a huge collection of old tapes of Bp. W, from the Doctrinal Classes and various conferences delivered all over the world. I know someone who can convert these to MP3, I will have to see what I am able to do with those. Trying to find working tape players these days can be a challenge, but SO worthwhile!

  • Interesting.  Do you have a link?  I'd like to collect as much of his material as I can.

    I have to ask....are you now a supporter of R&R? If so, that's good to hear.  
    "It is licit to resist a Sovereign Pontiff who is trying to destroy the Church. I say it is licit to resist him in not following his orders and in preventing the execution of his will. It is not licit to Judge him, to punish him, or to depose him, for these are acts proper to a superior."

    Nonsense.  Evidently you can't make the distinction between having a great respect for someone and having disagreements with him on certain issues.  I disagree with Bishop Williamson on aspects of his ecclesiology, his soteriology, as well as his opinions regarding Garabandal, Valtorta, and the NOM conferring grace.  In fact, I disagree with the vast majority of SVs on the ecclesiology and soteriology also ... though few of them promote Garabandal and Valtorta.

    WM Review also made the same distinction, where he too points out that he doesn't agree with +Williamson about everything, but still continue to have great respect for him, and the bulk of his teaching.

    As far as "R&R", Bishop Williamson has stated that the SV conclusion is possible and not unreasonable, and Father Chazal's position is impeccable from the standpoint of Catholic principles.  In other words, +Williamson isn't deranged about SVism (neither was +Lefebvre) where, like you, he would get triggered and begin foaming at the mouth at the mere mention of it.

    Wow, that's fantastic.  I'd be happy to "cleanse" the noise off those also but I'd need a digital copy, such as MP3, and I think there are outfits out there that'll do it, though it'll come at some cost.  I bet there's tech you can get to do this also.  If you're interested and I can track it down, would you be willing to convert them?  I'd be happy to do it, but it may be risky sending the tapes to me by mail, but if you're comfortable, say, overnighting them to me (with some reliable) carrier, I could pay the cost ... if I can track down the tech to convert these.

    What types of tapes are these, just regular cassette tapes or are they those mini-/micro- cassettes?

    EDIT:  Just looked and you can get devices on Amazon for between $30-$50 to convert cassettes to MP3.

    I sent you a direct message, but if these are normal-format cassette tapes, I found devices that will convert to MP3 for about $50 and would be happy to work with you on that.

    Well, I've stated too that the SV conclusion is possible, but still you have called me a heretic and schismatic on quite a few occasions. And I don't have a problem with anyone holding the SV position. I only have a problem when SV is pushed strongly, as if it's the only position that a true Catholic is required to have. 

    Bp. Williamson did not hold your beliefs regarding the papacy. Perhaps you are going to start saying that Bp. Williamson was really a sedevacantist, just as you say that +ABL was really a sedevacantist.

  • Lectures 1-37 are now available ... https://vladsarto.substack.com/p/his-excellency-bishop-richard-williamson

    There's also a link there to download a ZIP file with all 37 in MP3 format.
    https://app.box.com/shared/static/zijqjc3kc0tsbwjx2px8p7ave85xvl9t.zip

    Over the coming months, as I myself have a chance to listen, I'll try to provide brief synopses beneath each one, and possibly intersperse a few pictures among the embedded audios.
