This whole video is shameful beyond words. Specially at the beginning of it, when asked about the Jєωs, Bishop Fellay adopts the attitude of a little boy trying to excuse himself, not even looking at the malicious journalist straight at the eye.
I'm looking about for a dictionary entry even more expressive than "shameful." I don't think "shameful" quite does Bp. Fellay justice. His simpering, deer-in-the-headlights response was beyond shameful. Of course, Sebastian, all but perched upon the SG's nose and staring malevolently into his eyes, starts things off with the Jєωs. +Fellay wilts like a flower in the hot sun.
I mean, my goodness, all the bishop said a couple of years ago was that the Jєωs had been enemies of the Church for centuries. The Church has declared nothing less from the beginning. Why did this 'leader of men' have to suggest that his remarks had created "unnecessary controversy?" Why did this SSPX commander and chief have to turn his own earlier words around, amending them to mean (incorrectly) that it was the Jєωs themselves who look upon the Church as an enemy. In other words,
"It's not us, Mr. Sebastian sir, who view the Jєωs as enemies. No, no! it's the Jєωs who view us as enemies.""Maybe I was not expressing myself correctly........" he finally whispers. This is a finger-down-one's-throat moment
Yes indeed, he is like a "little boy" caught with his hands in the cookie jar, afraid to express and reaffirm what his own Church has taught since Her inception.
