Here it is on YouTube.
I wonder how they got it. Who IS Catholic Trumpet, anyway?
I don’t want a name, just want to know if it is Fr. Hewko’s mouthpiece or Fr.’s non-warlock version of P the M.
https://youtu.be/VmmijiP5SJY?si=0r-DDpi3Xs5DVfXuI’d never heard it before. I sent CT a message objecting to its posting at all on YT since it is from a man now deceased who cannot reply, explain, or defend himself.
The intended recipient of the call we do not hear at all.
It was intended for the ears of then Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer, no one else, certainly not the general public, whether it was intended to be specifically confidential or not.
We don’t hear the Bishop’s words preceding or after what is posted, so possibly makes the listeners hear one thing when another was intended.
Others are mentioned by name, one of whom is also deceased. Bp. Williamson did not intend his comments about them and their actions to be made public at the time of the call.
The call was made in 2012, shortly BEFORE the SHTF in public.
While I am not defending the actions of one person in particular, and of the SSPX as a whole, Bp. W. had the prudence not to speculate on future actions of the SSPX in public, only to Fr. Pfeiffer, the intended recipient of the message.
In my mind, this is like writing someone a letter, ie. “snail mail.” Everyone knows it is illegal to open and read, much less make public a letter addressed to a specific person. Even if you are too young to have ever heard of this US law, common sense and common courtesy tell you that this is an invasion of privacy. If the recipient later says to another, or himself has permission of the sender to go public, then there’s no problem. While this may have been the case in this instance, judging by the contents, it is highly unlikely.
To me, this begs the question, who is the one who “leaked” the letter to Catholic Trumpet?
Or did CT know about the prior publication and since it was already public, saw no problem in resurrecting it 13 years after the fact? If the original publication was morally wrong, then surely republication is questionable.
Much has changed since 2012, the context of the message, in the SSPX, with Fr. Pfeiffer, his associates, the others mentioned in the message, one of whom is said to be seriously ill and two of whom, most notably, the messenger, are deceased!
The response I received from CT asserted that a voice mail is not private.
He also stated that by the republication of this voice mail from 2012, “many souls will be saved.”How so? Which souls has he in mind?
I received no response. I may not be the brightest bulb in the chandelier, but that makes no sense to me. If anyone out there in CI land understands it, please explain!
“Inquiring minds want to know!” If any CI readers recall the origin of the above quotation, you’ll recall what type of publication used it for a TV advertisement! The entire CT video seems to me the tradcat version of that supermarket cashier aisle rag.
