Here we go again--- v2'ers who think they know better than Pius XII...... :soapbox:

I agree with you Neil Obstat-
It's just that Bishop (then Father) Zendejas had said over a month before that Bishop Aquinas was working on the Consecration to Russia, so with the info at hand, I think it should be attributed to him.  That being said, it did sound very much like something Bishop Williamson would write, but then, great minds think alike!

If you heard that Bishop Thomas Aquinas wrote it, or even the "skeleton" of it, then that's probably the case.

I just noticed +Williamson's fingerprints on the final text, that's all. That's all I'm asserting.

I agree that it was probably a group effort. But which of the 4 is as good with English as +Williamson? Who else would be given the job of proofreading and making the text perfect? +W is not just a native speaker of English, he's your classic English professor, and an experienced one at that.

The text of the consecration was written by Bp. Williamson.  I know because the week before was spent fact finding for him the quotes and dates etc.  I looked over the version you posted and it is identical to the one he drafted the week prior which I have here still on my computer.

It would be great if people got their facts straight before posting things they only think they know.   The credit for the text goes to Bp. Williamson, eternal gratitude goes to all 4 bishops for doing the consecration.

To God be the Glory!

Thanks

Ouch! I stand corrected- no biggie, things change. I had a reliable source!
