  • Hmmm.  I don't recall having been there during this incident, but then I also wasn't always in the loop about what went on there.  I was there about 1989 - 1992.
    Off topic, but do you recall ex-seminarian David Sansome's ability to quite accurately mimic the voice of Bp. Williamson?

    Yes.  So, another one who could imitate pretty much anyone was my brother Steve ... and could imitate both speaking voices and singing voices.  So, later when Father Peter Scott was no longer a professor there, quite a few seminarians had never met him, but Father Scott was coming into town to do the weekend Masses, give a couple talks, etc.  So Steve started imitating Father Scott perfectly, including a very distinct intonation of the "Gloria in Excelsis Deo" in Father Scott's inimitable style (well, except for Steve), and Steve added the facial expressions Father Scott liked to make.  So then at High Mass on Sunday, Father Scott goes to intone the Gloria and you could see about a dozen seminarians clearly needing to bite their tongues in half to keep from laughing out loud, some of them turning red, since Steve had gotten it perfect.

    He did that once for Father Leo Carley, who also had a very unique way of singing the "Exsultet" at the Easter Vigil, and Father's voice is also very distinctive.  So Steve was imitating him before we went to serve Easter Vigil Mass.  Then, when Father Carley started singing, we were the ones nearly doubled over and biting our tongues ... even though we knew Father Carley and his tone did not come as a surprise, but Steve had hit it so perfectly that we almost couldn't help laughing out loud.  Why it was so amusing is that Father actually butchered the Excultet melody with his own version that flattened out a lot of the ups and downs (reducing it almost to a semi-monotone). Steve got every individual note correct, just as Father would go on to render it.  Not sure where he figured it out since we only hear the Exsultet once a year.

    Speaking of Steve and Bishop Williamson ... one time Steve and I were looking at the bulletin board there with various announcements, and Bishop Williamson came up behind us and started talking to us about something.  He got very close to where he was right in our faces.  After he walks away, Steve turns to me and says, with shock, and practically breathless, "Bishop Williamson has an ENORMOUS [his emphasis] head.  His head is SOOOO big.  I didn't realize it until he came up this close."  Indeed, His Excellency had quite the cranial capacity and made the fullest use of it.

  • Received a text from a friend who read that, “HE is alive and responsive”.

    So, in the SSPX Resistance kingdom, consisting of (7) Bishops, who might be the reliable public relations spokesman for health updates on the Bishop of Broadstairs?

  • Non Possumus: REQUEST FOR PRAYERS FOR MSGR. WILLIAMSON

    Yesterday, Msgr. Williamson suffered a stroke and a cerebral hemorrhage.
    He is hospitalized and has received, thanks be to God, the last rites.
    Update Jan 26, 25: Monsignor is still very serious and unconscious.
    Update 27-Jan-25: He spent a quiet night, always surrounded by faithful who pray the holy rosary.
    Update 28-Jan-25: Msgr. Zendejas arrived at the hospital yesterday. He tells us that Msgr. Williamson breathes on his own, that he gives intermittent signs of communication and that he gradually declines.
    8:25 p.m.: We are informed that Monsignor Williamson has gone into agony.

    Sean reports:
    From +Zendejas:

    “Bp W had a critical night but he went through it, then early in the morning he became stable, again breathing on his own. It is a very slow process. But he is fading away.
    All nurses could not understand or believe in what condition the good bishop is as of today. Certainly his soul is still within him.”

    Update on Monsignor Richard Williamson (19:00, English Time) – Gloria.tv

    The bishop's condition is slowly worsening, however from England comes the testimony of a faithful Catholic woman who stayed with him in hospital today, and by profession is a nurse.

    She reports that in many years of health care work, and having seen so many people in such conditions, she has never seen such serenity as His Excellency has shown in these hours, both in face and body, showing no suffering whatsoever.

    Prayers are arriving from all over the world, and this certainly bears good fruit. Let us also continue to pray for him.

    In addition to the Mexican Bishop Zendejas, God willing, this Friday Bishop Paul Morgan, an English bishop of the Resistance who currently carries out his main apostolate in France, will also join the Broadstairs hospital.

    His presence will be an additional comfort and assurance in prayer.

    Or God will heal him in response to prayer.  God is in charge, not the doctors or nurses.

  • Someone produced this picture here.  Not sure, but it could reflect the conditional consecration, given how both of them are vested.

  • Have you heard any other information about +Stobnicki's new position? I assume this would be under the auspices of the IMBC.

    I was wondering about the same thing when seeing the picture earlier. :pray:

    No, I just happened to see that post on X and shared it here.
