Your Excellency-

Seeing that you closely monitor many traditionalist websites, I am reaching out to you on the chance you check in to Cathinfo.com once in a while.

I am wondering if you would consent to an in-depth correspondence interview?

I have yet to see Your Excellency interviewed by a fully traditional protagonist, but it would be a tremendous honor for me personally, and also flush out some answers to questions many people have who are currently on the fence with regard to supporting Your Excellency.

For my own part, I have no doubts regarding the authenticity and integrality of Your Excellency’s conversion to traditional Catholicism, but I do understand how the lack of interviews, letters, videos, or speeches tendered to fully traditional (ie., non-indult/Ecclesia Dei) sources -with the possible exception of Catholic Family News- could cause some to wonder what your positions are on several key points (even if, logically, such could/should have been inferred from Your Excellency’s writings).

Your Excellency could use a Bishop Williamson as an intermediary (and a reference).

Semper Idem,

Good move! My thumb up.

I believe you won't get an interview, but whether you do or you don't, your request is useful for many, whatever may happen.

Thank you Marion. 

I might be uniquely positioned as, on the one hand, +BW could act as a buffer, and on the other hand, I am aware of all the reservations some trads have (eg., Incredulous, Gladius Veritatis, et al), and I would ask His Excellency questions which would clarify things, one way or the other.

And, whatever one thinks of my books, I would also have a small degree of name recognition (at least within our small trad world), the endorsement/trust of the Resistance bishops, and am someone who has read everything +Vigano has written (or published in video form).

Its a fool’s hope that he would consent, but anything worth having is worth asking for, and I believe much good would come of it.

And my pledge to CI readers would be to be completely professional in my questioning (eg., leaving out my own opinions on controversial topics, and not asking any leading questions):

I want you to receive “raw +Vigano,” and base your decisions on that.

Excellent idea to write to +Vigano to request an interview. I hope he will at least respond to your request.

You mentioned fully traditional news sources, but how many fully traditional news sources are there? My memory is probably faulty, but I can't really think of any except Resistance news sources. 

They are admittedly obscure, and this lack of fully traditional media options is why I have contended in the past that +Vigano has been forced as much by default as anything else to make his views known by the likes of Marshall, Moynihan, Lifesite News, Tge Remnant, etc.

The Avrille Dominicans’ quarterly Le Sel de la Terre would be one good option.

Yes, the Avrille Dominicans quarterly would be a good option. I know that their English language website has featured several of +Vigano's articles. Do you think that they might possibly publish an interview which you gave, if that happens?

Possibly.  Problem with their English-language website is that they publish articles so infrequently, that, on the one hand, many forget it even exists, and on the other hand, some articles are old news by the time they upload them.

I would love to interview His Excellency in Latin ... since my Italian is not so great.

Sean, perhaps you should write this request in Latin ... or Italian ... to get his attention.  You’re well connected with Bishop Williamson also.  I would love to see a videotaped conversation between the two.

French, perhaps, but my Latin is simply not good enough (and my Italian consists in translating Latin to the ablative, which would come across to him like a machine translation).

I mean to post this request in Italian.  Surely someone could translate your request here into Italian.

Ahhh...I recall someone here being fluent in Italian, but not sure who it was.

Struthio perhaps?

Or Marion?

Vostra Eccellenza,

So che monitorate molti siti web cattolici tradizionali, quindi scrivo questo messaggio nella speranza che lo vedrete. Acconsentiresti a un colloquio approfondito? Devo ancora vedere Vostra Eccellenza essere intervistata da una fonte cattolica interamente tradizionale, ma sarebbe un grande onore per me personalmente. Anche per fornire alcune risposte alle domande di molte persone attualmente indecise sul sostegno a Vostra Eccellenza. Da parte mia, non ho dubbi sull'autenticità e completezza della conversione di Vostra Eccellenza al cattolicesimo tradizionale, ma capisco come la mancanza di interviste, lettere, video o discorsi possa portare qualcuno a chiedersi quali siano le sue posizioni su diversi punti. (anche se, logicamente, ciò potrebbe/dovrebbe essere dedotto dagli scritti di Vostra Eccellenza).

Vostra Eccellenza potrebbe usare il Vescovo Williamson come intermediario (e riferimento).

Semper Idem,
Sean Johnson.

È molto gentile da parte tua, Louie!
