hmmm October 7-9th is the Angelus Conference where the District Superior of the USA is supposed to be speaking, not only that but Bishop Tissier de Mallerais is supposed to be there aswell, he is theologically comparable to Bishop Williamson.

I wonder, LP, if they will still bring him to the meeting since this is/was sort of last minute, and I would assume take precedence? I remember speaking with +Tissier and driving him to the airport years ago with my father, when I was confirmed by him. A very humble and holy man. God bless him and all Bishops of tradition in these times.

Curious... will all 4 bishops be there?

I don't think so.

Firstly, it's a meeting of the superiors according to the press.

Secondly, Bishop Williamson is virtually not existing anymore for Menzingen, Stuttgart, etc.

For example, Bp Fellay's first assistant Fr Pfluger who's Krah's mentor and protector, visited the British SSPX district in March 2011. The German SSPX newsletter May 2011 published a photo with the following subtitle:
In March 2011 the SSPX first assistent Fr Niklaus Pfluger visitied the priests of Great Britain

However, the photo didn't show Bishop Williamson. So he's virtually not existing for the SSPX anymore. (Fr Schmidberger is the German district superior and before him Fr Pfluger was. See PDF May 2011, page 26, for the photo and the subtitle.)

That's different even to the freelancing priests who work for some SSPX districts whilst not being members of the fraternity. On district meeting photos they're usually shown however.

P.S.

Theoretically yes. Unfortunately however, practically Bishop Tissier doesn't dare to even uphold his script "The Faith Imperilled by Reason" about B16's heresies, because Menzingen forbid to criticise B16.

However Bishop Williamson does brings practically four (or five!) recent ECs explaining the script in details for the laity. What a brave shepherd! He knows that the souls vitally need truth and clarity, not half-truths and doubletalk, and that for a true priest or bishop to ignore that fact would be false obedience. God bless him!

Fr Morgan has stated the meeting is not to be "seen as anything untoward"

Rome meeting

As mentioned in the previous newsletter, Bishop Fellay and the two Assistants will be meeting with Cardinal Levada in Rome on 14th September with regard to the outcome of the talks which took place these past two years on the doctrinal issues.

It is speculated that the Society’s canonical situation may also be addressed at this occasion, but it is important to remember that Bishop Fellay has repeatedly said, for example, in his Letters to Friends and Benefactors that any practical agreement could not come before a resolution of the doctrinal questions.

The Superior General and the District Superiors will also be meeting at Albano, near Rome, from 6-8th October, but this has regard to media communications generally, and should not be seen as anything untoward.
