Why hasn't Bp. Williamson publicly rebuked Francis, especially his comments that there is no Catholic God? The mainstream-media would be more than happy to give him, an "αnтι-ѕємιтє," a platform to do some real "resistance."

Let's pray he receive the necessary graces to do so.

As an ardent Bishop Williamson supporter over the years, I have to say that he is manifesting an incredible dereliction of duty in his silence over Bergoglio and all of his latest revelations. He is so engulfed in the politics of the SSPX that he has lost his sense of pastoral obligation. We have a man, who he claims to be and have the authority of the Vicar of Jesus Christ on earth, Peter, saying that there is no Catholic God and that the way to heaven for an atheist is to obey his own conscience and we're treated to Eleison Comment after Eleison Comment about how the SSPX is falling apart and about "the resistance." How about Catholicism?

The platform he has is a world wide one and people used to look to these weekly comments for integral Catholicism and use them as a little life raft to stay afloat amongst this flood of modernism, and now it's descended into totally useless musings and speculation about the SSPX, the resistance and expounding upon private revelations.

For a Bishop such as himself, who has made an episcopal career out of forcefully defending everything he has said by saying he has an obligation to speak about the truth, his silence on Bergoglio is one that is both ear piercing, baffling, disappointing and unacceptable. My personal speculation is that there is no further defense for Bergoglio and he knows it, but yet, he just cannot bring himself admit the obvious, because it would be too devastating for both he and his audience. There is no defense for Bergoglio any longer, and that is obvious by both his and the rest of the SSPX Bishops' silence. This man does not have the Catholic faith, it is plain and simple. He preaches a false doctrine which is not Roman Catholicism.

As a Bishop who loses no opportunity to cite Archbishop Lefebvre's name in almost every sentence he utters, does Bp Williamson think his role model and mentor would have remained as silent as he has on Bergoglio? I have no doubt in my mind whatsoever that if Abp Lefebvre were alive today, he would have called international press conferences to any that would listen to denounce Bergoglio as an imposter, a heretic, a Marxist ideologue imbued with liberation theology and to warn the faithful that he is a false shepherd. His summer of 76' comments on Paul VI would have looked pale in comparison to what he would have had to say on Bergoglio. And he would have done it because he would have known he had an obligation as a Bishop to do so.

Where is Bp Williamson? I hope and pray he gets back on track, and no better way to do that than to take his obligations seriously, shelf the constant ranting on the SSPX and start preaching about matters of extreme importance such as the man he believes to be the Pope telling Catholics across the globe that seeking to convert others to the one true faith that will save their souls is "solemn nonsense."

Dare I suggest that he isn't the leader we imagined him to be ? He certainly shirks the role when I have suggested it to him. He has also said as much in some ECs in the not so recent past.

Frankly, pardon the pun, Bishop Williamson's resistance is completely directed against Bishop Fellay and the SSPX of Menzingen.  

Yes, and that will be the ruin of the resistance if they do not stop fixating on Bishop Fellay and the SSPX.
They cannot save it or rehabilitate it.  
Unless they define a purpose which is greater than a fraternal conflict and move in a direction which will be a true service to the Church and turn to face the cause of the crisis and disconnect from what is now just another example its effectiveness, they will founder and dissolve into the morass of " Traditionalist resisters ".
Being purposed only with skirmishing against Bishop Fellay and the Society is not enough maintain a long term force. It is time to get off of the sideline spur and onto the mainline track.  
The errors of the Council are once again issuing forth from Rome and it is irrelevant if they are overtaking the Society, they are once again about to assault the whole of the Catholic world.

I think Bishop Williamson is saving his breath talking about things worth talking about. Franny the Fraud is making himself look foolish. The commenters commenting are not making him look any better. How could they? Could Bishop Williamson make him look worse? Sure! Must he? No, I think Franny is doing a good enough job making a horse's arse out of himself, that he doesn't need Bishop Williamson to help.

Bishop Williamson's audience is smart enough to know that when you go into the latrine, it stinks. 2+2=4, as they say. I really don't feel he has to say anything about Franny. Franny is doing a great job making himself look like what he is-- an apostate.

It doesn't get any better than this--you crack me up PFT!

An analysis from a friend of mine.

The Indult and Soft-Line SSPX Spin Doctors are hard at work, though.  Is the Pope a Catholic? Well He does not believe in the Catholic God: Father Son and Holy Ghost, three Persons, one being of Infinite Charity, so nope! "Does the Pope Sh*t in the Woods?" is how Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Put it.  Frank can go sh*t in the woods for all I care!

Thank you to the 45th power.

Is anyone close to these priests telling them this?
