  • Don't get sucked in here by Johnson, who's deliberately changing the subject.  We've debated about whether God WOULD work miracles through the NOM.  Since we're not God, it's purely speculative on both sides.  I think Johnson is wrong, but that's NOT the issue here.  What's at issue is +Williamson's dogmatizing the NO "Eucharistic miracles", characterizing them as a requirement to be in "his Church", to receive Holy Oils, and to avoid sinning against the Holy Ghost.

    Sean needs to defend that assertion from +Williamson and not the possibility that the NO "Eucharistic miracles" might be legit.  He's been sidestepping that by distraction, arguing about the NO "miracles" instead.

    Nonsense: 


    You well know I have already defended Williamson's opinion in pp. 1-2-3 of this thread.

    You just got triggered and choose now to ignore all that (hoping the space between pp. 1-3 and now eliminates that from memory).

    Christ tells us, emphatically, that bad trees (i.e. new mass) cannot bear good fruit (miracles).  He also begins this lesson by telling us to "beware of false prophets".  It really can't get any clearer.

    15Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good fruit. 19Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast into the fire. 20Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.  (Matthew ch 7)

    6Give not that which is holy to dogs; neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turning upon you, they tear you.  (Matt 7)

    Agree, God has told us He would not act in this way.  Not even those that work miracles, are 100% from God.

    21Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. 22Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.  (Matt 7)

    “For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive, if possible, even the elect.” Matthew 24:24.

    You remind me of the Hewkonian fool "Macchabees" who used to post here:

    Plenty of zeal, but short on brains.

  • This fighting between two traditional men with Holy Orders is probably the saddest thing I've seen on this forum. Can't one of them take the high road? Is the counsel of Our Lord in the Sermon on the Mount just theoretical and not practical? "Blessed are the peacemakers..." We are supposed to be the Cream of the Crop among Catholics. No one ever said that the virtue of Charity is easy. What's happened to us? "...if you have anything against your neighbor, make amends before you bring your gift to the altar"....."Lord, how many times must I forgive my neighbor, seven times? "No, Peter, seventy times seven." I've lost tons of respect for both of them. And I do hope that +Zendejas doesn't figure in to Fr. Hewko's having to beg for Oils from His Grace. Why would FrH have to appeal to +Williamson way across the sea when he could receive them locally? Unless....

    What a fag.

    As if Williamson hadn't taken the high road 8 years ago (Oh, who was it again that publicized this private fight?).

    Please.

  • It's petty and childish, with little regard paid to the good of souls.  They're not even bickering about anything of serious import to the Catholic faith here.

    Agreed: Hewko is petty in the extreme to have publicized his disgruntled and emotional reactions.

  • This thread has little to do with Eucharistic miracles and everything to do with a defiant priest very publicly and energetically attacking the sole faithful bishop of the SSPX, to the point of "Fake Resistance", and then expecting his support.

    Why the attack on Bishop Williamson by this priest, Fr David Hewko? For holding opinions that are not forbidden by the Catholic Faith.

    This is not at all about Eucharisitc miracles - Bishop Williamson is as good as saying to Fr Hewko that he will come to his succour the moment he publicly apologises for his outrageous attacks and publicly reconciles with the bishop he should never have separated from. As the Bishop says, he needs to choose.

    Publishing this correspondence of his with the good Bishop is the latest of the miserable attempts of Fr Hewko at self-justification. Nothing could give BW clearer proof of his unrepentance.

    The idea that BW ought to accede to the requests of this priest without his publicly reconciling with him are utterly outrageous and neither for the glory of God nor the salvation of souls. Fr Hewko has led faithful all around the world down a dead end of no priests, no sacraments, no Church... there are faithful of his that are already effectively at this point, so isolated are they from this "one faithful priest" (!) that they will never receive another sacrament before they die.

    Only one thing must happen: this delinquent priest must fall on his knees and ask Bishop Williamson forgiveness and get back to work with the other good priests advancing the Kingdom of God on Earth.

    Let us pray that he does that.

    If this post was any more right, it would be wrong!

  • Right?  Could you imagine if this was Father Cekada or Bishop Sanborn?  :laugh1:

    On a serious note, however....is it possible that there is something seriously wrong with Bishop Williamson (cognitively speaking)? These comments seem totally imbalanced.

    In other words, the dogmatic sede wants revenge for SSPXers and Resistance questioning the validity of Thuc consecrations, and means to get that ball rolling here and now.

  • So you're saying that Bishop Williamson is a liar?  He stated very concretely that it is "all about Eucharistic miracles" (as you put it) in terms of whether he'd give Father Hewko the Holy Oils, that denying the NO "miracles" means that he's not in the "same Church" that he's in and that it's tantamount to a sin against the Holy Ghost.

    And yet the same schizophrenic Loudestmouth said in post #47:

    "Maybe, but, as Sean suggested, he really wasn't "speaking his mind".  +Williamson had other reasons for not wanting to help out Father Hewko besides the stated reason of his not accepting NO Eucharistic miracles"

    An interesting take, considering +Williamson explicitly stated that those who hold different opinions (than he -- not even necessarily the Modernists -- does) about NOM supposed-miracles are sinning against the Holy Ghost and not in the same Church he is.  I don't know or need to know Fr. Hewko or the background of this likely-silly situation (Traddieland is as Traddieland does) to know +Williamson's statement, made public ill-advisedly or not, is problematic and unfortunate.  I am rather embarrassed to see so many defending the indefensible.  He's wrong on a very important point here, even if he's right to oppose Fr H's requests for oils, etc.  He's human.  So be it.

  • Too bad he's a liar and completely distorted what Bishop Williamson said.

    ...except that you allowed (in post #47) that it was a very plaussible interpretation of what +Williamsson meant.

  • My personal observation is that Bishop Williamson is going down the Thuc way. I fear that his love of dwelling on matters not related to the Faith he insists must be taken as the absolute truth is going to confuse souls even further. It's sad.

    Gee, the Asian Accordist pretending sorrow for the "decline" of Williamson. 

    As if that wasn't predictable.

  • As an aside, has His Excellency stated his views one way or the other regarding the Flat Earth/Globe Earth debate?

    No, but obviously he would say that is only for dipshits (as anyone with a sound mind would know immediately).

    When you come around, which I know you eventually will, I will send you a really nice bottle of wine to celebrate :)

    If jokers like you are going to go around labelling others as Accordists just because they happen not to agree with everything said by your idol Bishop Williamson, I feel really sorry for you.

    gαy.

    I wrote a book and 250 articles about the SSPX changes, compromises, and contradictions in pursuit of a practical accord with modernist Rome.

    But nice try trying to flush it by associating SSPX opposition with fealty to Williamson.

    Take it up with Ladislaus.  I’m not into arguing about the matter.
