  • Very well written article about these alleged NO miracles, including some citations from "scientists" who disagree with even the scientific conclusion:

    https://catholiccandle.neocities.org/priests/williamson-bad-fruits-miracles
    ... and ...

    It looks like the "Catholic Candle" website is run by a layman, who doesn't provide his name, and that's fine. He says that he attends a mass offered by a Fr. Rafael, from Mexico, but that they don't have a bishop, and that they are the "Real Resistance."

    Does anyone know who this priest is? He isn't sedevacantist, since the website owner warns against sedevacantism as being schismatic. The website owner also has big problems with the Resistance under Bp. Williamson, as well as the SSPX.

    Dear Sean,

    It is clear and repeated denial of true scientific evidence which renders anyone guilty of one of the unforgivable sins against the Holy Ghost. Let anybody in doubt look them up.

    Common sense says that precious gifts of God should hardly be handed out to people hardly able to appreciate reality.


    God bless, BpW.


    It seems to me that if the good bishop sincerely believes these miraculous fruits come from the Novus Ordo Missae, he should reconcile with the church who authored it. If the NO missae comes from the Church and is thus valid, good and holy (in some cases?), what was the purpose of defending the Tridentine Mass all of these years?
    For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul?

    That's a good question.

    But I don't think that the conciliar church would be the author of any supposed eucharistic miracle that might take place in it. God would be the author of that, if it were really true. If we believe that the Catholic Church is occupied by a Modernist sect (as a few of us on this forum do) rather than the visible Church in Rome being completely extinct, then it might follow that the Modernist sect that occupies the Church draws its life from the True Church that is being occupied. Bp. Tissier de Mallerias once likened this to a parasite which feeds off of a host. The parasite cannot live, except for what it draws from the lifeblood of its victim; in this case, the victim being the Catholic Church. The Church is still alive, but occupied. Maybe that's what +W is getting at? He doesn't want a schismatic mentality to prevail, perhaps? I don't really know. I do hope that he offers some clarification at some point.

    He's a Chicago attorney named John Pfeiffer (alleged distant reletive of Fr. Pfeiffer), former Pfeifferien, then former Hewkonian, then supporter of the confirming priest, Fr. Arrizaga, and (last I heard) current home-aloner.

  • I will gladly attack any eccentrics who believe in any dogmas proclaimed after 1950.

    Judging from Bp. Williamson's response posted by Sean Johnson, the good bishop has apparently become much more eccentric than usual lately.

    I have a huge respect for him, but somethings simply cannot be accepted.

    Bogus Marian apparitions, Valtorta, attendance at the Novus Ordo Mass, and now, the "reality" of a "miracle".:facepalm:

    Can you please quote +Williamson stating a dogma was proclaimed after 1950?

  • Yeah, scientific "evidence" is regularly being debunked.

    And, if there is one that stands up to scientific scrutiny, there's always the possibility that the devil could have simulated such "miracles".  It would be a very simple matter for the devil to swap out the bread for a piece of heart tissue, with the correct blood type (matching the Shroud, for instance), etc.

    I note you are always emphasizing the possibility the evidence could be tampered with, bunk, diabolic, etc.

    What you never allow is that it is possibly authentic (i.e., even the possibility is a priori unacceptable/impossible).

    That's YOUR error, not Williamson's.

  • Actually, he said the sin against the Holy Ghost is the "repeated denial of true scientific evidence" and not the "acceptance of NO 'Eucharistic miracles.' " The qualifying condition is that the evidence must be both "scientific" and "true." If the evidence is speculative, falsified, or even disputed, then the condition the bishop states regarding the sinfulness of the denial will not apply.

    Please don't bother them with pesky details like this.  They're busy pumping each other up, for the glory of sedevacantism and the last uncompromised priest on earth (Hewko).

    He should reconcile with the conciliar church since he believes that it’s “mass” is not only valid, but actually is to be highly lauded since it produces miracles.

    I have no exact quote, but it’s easily deduced from his staunch opinion that miracles are produced by it. Logically, it must be good and holy since God would never allow miracles to come from something that is not good and unholy.
    For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul?

    False reasoning:

    1) It is not the rite which (possibly) produces miracles, but God;

    2) It does not follow that because there is (possibly) a miracle, the rite is to be lauded.  

    For example, I give an exactly opposite reason why God would (possibly) perform a Eucharistic miracle at the No us Ordo:

    To instill belief in the real presence, which the Novus Ordo attacks.

  • I have a feeling that the same people who attack "dogmatic sedevacantists" will defend Bp. Williamson's new dogma and his anathema of all sedevacantists and others who believe God wouldn't approve the Bogus Ordo by miracles.

    I wonder if belief in Garabandal and whatever the other false apparitions Williamson promotes are also required for salvation.
    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.

    I agree and actually that is a charitable interpretation.

    Well, regarding just the issue validity for a moment, the SSPX and +ABL always maintained that the New Mass is valid. Does that in itself mean that whoever believes in the validity of the New Mass should reconcile with Rome? If that's the case, then maybe the SSPX should have reconciled long ago?

    I'm not sure that God wouldn't allow miracles from something unholy. How about all of the martyrs that suffered torture and death, often put to death by pagans or heretics, who were doing evil in killing Catholics. Yet good came from those martyrs; not only did some of their tormentors and killers convert, miracles were sometimes attributed to the intercession of the martyrs.
