An interesting similarity developing here with regard to the validity of confirmations. The Society would enter mainstream dioceses because conciliar confirmations were flawed. The bishop is continuing with this practice independently of the Society because he now regards confirmations conducted by the other three bishops questionable in view of their adherence to a new liberal agenda.

Catechist99, how did the Bishop seem?. In the photo you have posted his eyes look "tired". Is he generally in good health but just tired?

I would say that His Excellency may have been a bit travel weary (I would be too) but his drooping eyes are an anatomical feature rather than caused by fatigue. He was gracious to all and mixed well with everyone present. I was touched when I saw him quietly giving counsel to an young woman off away from the crowd.

He has a great dry sense of humor. I found him charming but dignified. His great stature was overwhelming to my youngest son who burst out in tears upon meeting HE.

Here is a photo I took of The Bish signing Confirmation certificates surrounded by many babies. Faces are blurred for privacy.

Francisco, I'm pretty sure Bishop Williamson is just tired from the travel strain.

Because in the beginning of this month the good bishop was in excellent shape.
See for yourself in the following video in two parts. It shows a home fixture of the English Lion. One great hour of lecture at the London Forum :

Main part:
Extra Min:

Around the 6th minute (+/-) he gets so angry with one of the few liberals in the audience that he nearly gets into a fistfight!
What a bishop!
(Most listeners are not yet Catholic, it seems, but for sure they invite the good bishop to learn something from him, so they're open for the truth and willing to think about it! Whilst 90+ % of the so called traditional Catholics betray this good bishop.)

"Liberals are rats!"

... direct quote from the bishop during Q&A at the London Forum. Doesn't sound very tired... :-)

~ 23 minutes:
"Do you want to go on the counter-attack?"

“yes” said by voices in audience

“Go back to almighty God! Go back to His Catholic Church!”

~40:24

“My dear friends, … proposition of common sense and faith: if you want to restore order, go back to God. Think about it; think hard and long.”

~1:02 "...that’s the lesson He’s trying to teach all of us in our rotten modern world by allowing it to get more & more & more rotten... He is saying, My dear friends, My dear children, My dear creatures …you are not going to find answers with yet another revolution; revolutions are not the way; you’ve got to come back to Me.”

:applause:

03:06 The ideal state

Just in itself the best situation is when you have the whole society which is going the same way. It also helps to unity, to peace, to everything. And of course religion is a major part in the human heart and if you are one in the religion, it helps to have this peace and I may say, well, that’s the commandment of our Lord to his Church: We have to go to all nations and teach them what our Lord said. Now, when you are in a situation which is a mixed situation, which is, let say, the reality, I would say, well, that's not the ideal but that's the situation which you are. And that's, let's say, where you have to do your job, your duty as a Christian. So you have to give this witness to the others, you must try to help them. We want everybody to have that wonderful happiness of heaven and trying to bring them to this knowledge.

Needless to ask, which one gives a clearer understanding of how to fix the terrible sickness of our poor modern world?
