While I was looking at one of the pictures, I could just picture a thought bubble coming from +Williamson:

(I don't know what either of them would think of this; it just tickles my own funny bone. I have a peculiar sense of humor, ok?)

Why would my opinion be seen as negative, America is not the whole 'World'

No, but it does have the second largest Catholic population in the world.

Someone pointed out --

Now the SSPX and Resistance have equal stature, in terms of number of bishops!

The SSPX has truly, definitively given up the fight, insofar as it has sterilized itself. Bishop Fellay is committed to not ever doing another episcopal consecration without Roman approval, whereas the Resistance meanwhile is fruitful for souls and committed to the survival of Tradition.

Viva Cristo Rey!

The SSPX was originally erected in Fribourg, Switzerland. Interesting that this consecration took place in "New Fribourg" (Nova Friburgo)

Do you know if this was just a coincidence?

Can anyone explain the unusual sleeve treatments on Bishop Aquinas' cassock?

Yes the sleeves are crimson silk. Of the three bishops only this cassock has the correct colors of a bishop's choir cassock. Bishop Faure lacks the sleeves, Bishop Williamson is the wrong color altogether. However, none of this is of any importance, what matters are the men inside them.

I just want to say that this is the second Episcopal Consecration and priestly ordination that I have been in the same "makeshift Cathedral" as Bishop Williamson calls it, and everytime when the priest or bishop to be is in the prone position a light shines only on him from the sun. There is no where even for the sun to enter and shine since it is closed and there are no windows, but only doors and a open area above surrounded by bamboo trees. Further, the sun could not shine only on the priest or bishop laying in the prone position. I've never said anything before and nobody else has pointed it out, but if I go back to all the pictures, I can find the pictures from the other ordinations. This is one example of what I am referring to...

You can check out about a couple hundred more photos here...

Did anybody see the server looking in the background? Nobody has commented on this. It is just one of those things that you see and have to wonder if it is the supernatural. After having seen it for three seperate occasions all at specific points, I am convinced.

I believe that God was pleased by (and gave His blessings on) this event, just as He blessed the 1988 Consecrations in Econe.

Remember, the reason we like these faithful Resistance bishops is because they are so steadfastly keeping the Faith. They have virtues perfectly appropriate for the Crisis were in, and some of these virtues border on (or cross over into) the heroic.

They are in love with the Faith, with the Church, and with God. They are steadfastly committed to the truth, rejecting all compromise and human respect.

In these ways (and others) they imitate Our Lord, who loved above all else to do His Father's will. He loved souls, and He bore witness to the truth. His whole life was about His Sacrifice on Calvary, starting the New Testament in His Blood. These bishops' lives are about preserving that Faith, that Church, that doctrine for future generations -- and delivering the truth (and consequently salvation!) to as many souls as possible.

That is the very essence of charity, also known as the love of God.

These bishops are truly good men. May God grant them many more years!

They need another bishop who is still young enough to travel, but old enough to be qualified, who is advanced in the spiritual life, prudent, wise, experienced, who knows English and Spanish, and who has significant ability as an organizer/administrator/builder-upper...

You spelled "Zendejas" wrong.

I thought the same and asked about this. I was told by a casual priest-observer that another bishop would seem excessive and that there wouldn't be another consecration for another 5 or 10 years unless there was a big influx from the SSPX.

You were told this by someone who is in the know and was informing you, or you were told as in someone was stating their opinion?
