Is it possible to get some screengrabs or some incontrovertible proof of this newsletter from Schmidberger?

I'm not doubting it, but we can't expect anyone else to believe it just because it's written on a forum.

I hope you're as proof-hungry about other topics claimed by the modern world as you are about this.

But seriously? Fr. Schmidberger's words and actions are SO HORRIBLE you can't believe they're true? You would sooner believe that someone in the Resistance went out of his way to compose several paragraphs of likely-sounding German from scratch, which exactly match Fr. Schmidberger's position, just to damage Fr. Schmidberger's reputation by implying he uttered such scandalous words?

Can we agree that these words are scandalous then? And if we find out they are truly Fr. Schmidberger, can we all agree that the SSPX has fallen and we need to set up alternative Mass center options all over the world?

If there are people who believe that this letter is a "fαℓѕє fℓαg" or a "conspiracy" (ever heard of Occam's Razor, guys?), I guess we're making progress! At least we can all agree those words are un-Catholic and quite scandalous.

He had difficulty reconciling grace and nature. On the one hand, he was very willing to give credence to messages, apparitions and other supernatural phenomena; on the other hand, he tended towards a certain naturalism, giving politics and contemporary phenomena an excessive amount of space in his sermons and lectures.

Yes, Bp. Williamson did give credence to apparitions, perhaps more than he should have, but isn't Bp. Fellay guilty of the same? Bp. Fellay gave great credence to the locutions of Madame Rossiniere, and, if I recall correctly, Fellay wanted to change the statutes of the SSPX so as to incorporate Rossiniere's teachings, which was quite appalling. Of course Fellay wasn't successful in this, but at least Bp. Williamson never wanted to change the statutes. Nothing even close to that.
