:read-paper:Der Spiegel IS a magazine.
Okay, Der Spiegel is a magazine. But what does that have to do with
"threats" from +W? Did he make threats in that magazine?
What "things" were precipitated? How? What constitutes precipitation?
Rainfall? I doubt it. Oh, wait....

* January 21, 2009: Things are precipitated by the publication of Bishop Williamson’s statements and the threat of the weekly Der Spiegel.
I think Fr. Ceriani means that things happened rapidly due to the publication of what Bp. Williamson had declared about the gas chambers.
I'm sure you're correct, Adolphus, but I'm still lost. What "things" happened
rapidly? When Liberals are vague we criticize them for ambiguity. Well, this
is extremely ambiguous.
Which of these do NOT apply, and why?
Things that happened rapidly due to the +W interview:
- Jews got upset (Jews are always upset anyway - it's their hobby)
- Riots were threatened (they were?)
- Legislation was passed (what legislation?)
- Speeches were made (who made them? content?)
- The price of oil went up / or down (it did?)
- There was a famine (there was? where? what kind of famine?)
- Late night talk shows had new joke material (and the point is....?)
- Lots of e-mails got sent all over the world (and what else is new?)
- Farmworkers went on strike
- Israel sank another US Liberty using unmarked fighter jets
- Nuclear testing in North Korea (and that was related how?)
- Edward Snowden leaked secret docuмents (huh?)
- Peace-loving Mohammedans murdered another Christian
