If Bishop Williamson only wants to have a "loose association" with the resistance under his moral authority, that would seem to rule out the possibility of ever consecrating a bishop in the existing resistance. Without a bishop, the resistance is doomed for eminent failure unless they wind up reaching out to another group like the sedes for a consecration and that would undermine everything they stand for.

Why would it rule out the possibility of his ever consecrating bishops?

It sounds like Bishop Williamson is worried about exceeding his authority by consecrating another bishop without permission.

Put it into context. He's talking about the pope calling him to give him a regularized position within the officially recognized Church. He's saying he would go to Rome to get it in writing if some miracle phone call giving free reign to Tradition took place.

Assuming people are reading and not skimming, everyone should know this.

For the record, if Bishop Fellay did this same thing (accepted a unilateral/one-sided official recognition and blessing from Rome, a rubber-stamp for all the SSPX is doing) no one would have had a problem with it -- least of all me.

Father Hewko rejected this kind of thinking out of hand.

Says you. Source?

I listened to the sermon posted in this sub-forum. It's in there.

I'm guessing that my comments about Bishop Williamson collecting money for a lavish residence may have been misconstrued. I'm talking about the fact that it was touted as a kindof "headquarters" for the Resistance, but Bishop Williamson refuses to create any kind of true organization, so what kind of "headquarters" is needed? This residence wasn't meant to be just living quarters for Bishop Williamson but a lot more than that. To what end?
