I must apologize for the offense my last post must have caused some. I was dismissive and disrespectful towards one of the few traditional bishops or priests for whom I have left any real respect. Bishop Williamson is, and has always been, an admirable cleric and a courageous Christian gentleman. True, I disagree with his idea that any “glimmer of hope” may remain for the SSX. Nevertheless, I am persuaded that the good bishop consults his nobler instincts by holding out some slight hope.
Alas, it may be that Our Lady has already spoken from Heaven on the matter, indicating, in effect, that +Fellay’s Society was weighed in the balance after 2006 and found wanting. It really depends on whether one believes the words of a certain visionary.
In any case, Bishop Williamson deserves honor and respect. He is one of the few Cathholic clerics, IMO, who tries always to stand for the truth in the midst of the modern church’s almost utter ruin and resulting chaos.
