Right.  I know he's not a sedevacantist, and I know that many sedevacantists call him "Frank" ... so I was merely amused by that expression coming from his lips, precisely because it was incongruous.  I would not have batted an eye at Bishop Sanborn calling him that.

Either +Williamson had been reading some sedevacantist stuff or else he just slurred his words a bit, thinking ahead and conflating two sounds.
But… but… but he said to call him "Jorge."
Call him “Jorge”
 
“José María del Corral, director of the ‘School of Neighbors’ educational program in Buenos Aires was one of the Pope’s special guests at his Inaugural Mass…. When Corral ‘bumped into’ the Pope in the elevator, he asked, ‘How should I refer to you now?” The Pope answered, ‘Call me Jorge, what else?'”

I guess the thing is I see a distinction between probable sedeplenism and dogmatic sedeplenism.  It seems to me that Williamson and Lefebvre are/were probable sedeplenists rather than dogmatic ones, regardless of whether they are right or wrong.

Like yes they certainly thought the pope was the pope.  It just doesn’t seem like they thought it was absolutely certain

Neither Bp. Williamson or Archbishop Lefebvre ever referred to themselves as being "sede" anything. They don't think, and didn't think, in those terms. They are Catholic. They have no interest, that I know of, in defining themselves into sub-groups, like the Protestants do.

So....not being absolutely certain means that they were probably sede-somethings, in your view?

Why such a great interest on the part of the sedes and sedewhatevers to remake +ABL, +W (and even Fr. Chazal) into something that they clearly are not? It's dishonest. I mean, it's a main focus on this forum to remake +ABL and the Resistance clergy into sede-somethings. It reminds me of the ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ agenda, where the homos try to insist that someone is 'gαy' even when they have not said so. And the homos especially like to insist that certain deceased people were ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs, when it was unlikely that they were. Same type of agenda with the sedewhatevers.

It causes me to wonder if sedevacantism and sedewhateverism is intrinsically disordered, since they seem to suffer from the same type need to deceive as the ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs do.

Meg, the term sedeplenist is simply the logical opposite of sedevacantist ... used for the sake of convenience.  When using that term, all we mean is that they were the opposite of sedevacantist.   Sedeprivationist is also a term coined by someone that many so-called privationists don't really like, but it's stuck and everybody knows what you mean by it (adherents of the Cassiacuм thesis).  You're reading too much into this term.

BTW, the church building is very nice.  Of course, as a former altar boy, the high altar (and stairs, including a 4th tier) scare me ... as there's always the risk of stepping on the hem of your cassock as you get up from a kneeling position and flying backwards down the stairs.  Or any trip & fall could have serious consequences.   :)  There was one I served at that not only had the height, but the stairs themselves were extremely narrow, where you could barely fit your entire foot on one.

Some of the sedeprivationists and sedevacantists would not pass up an opportunity like this to try and show that +W may be a closet sedevacantist. They will "infer" that there is a connection to sedevacantism. Although why it is that they have a need to continually do this is beyond me (with both +W and +ABL).

Oh, come on, Meg.  This was a JOKE.  Do you have any sense of humor?
