lad:
Yeah, yeah, we know, Valtorta. I guess that if you don't like Valtorta that means you reject Bishop Williamson's "doctrinal positions".
Lad, I was beginning to have better thoughts about you. Then what do you do? You make another mess on the carpet.
Numbers of trads express disagreement with Bp. Williamson on a variety of issues, not just Maria Valtorta. I think you know that. One of the major problems with H.E., on the part of both the "resistance" priests and the faithful who follow and listen to them is this: The bishop sets up a new model of loosely federated independent chapels, served by independent priests. That really galls a number of folks in Tradland.
Another issue is his perceived "wishy-washy" stand on the New Order of Mass. He tolerates it, they assert, and even says that it's OK to attend the NO.
Another charge against him, which ties in with the his idea of independent chapels, is his seeming refusal to "take the lead." I've heard layfolk say this, and, of course, I've heard Frs. Pfeiffer and Hewko say this.
Another item, which really seems to rankle some trad women, is H.E.'s attitude towards a college education for them. Others go off on him for his perceived attitudes towards women generally.
Others criticize H.E, for having associated in the past with such non-Catholics, even anti-Catholic, figures, such as Texe Marrs, David Irving and Lady Renouf.
Still others go off on him on his famous remarks about The Sound of Music. I take umbrage at this myself, because I really liked Julie Andrews in her tender years. (Admittedly, she's turned into something of a wrinkled prune since then.)
