Gerard's list of enemies of the Church was once standard fare of the SSPX before it started being nice to them. He now suggests doing otherwise marks one out as a bitter and hardened traditionalist. This is having your cake and eating it. By all means vaguely admit the Church has had enemies but do not dare to identify them today in case it causes personal discomfort! I am sure many elderly SSPX priests have now adopted this policy whilst the young ones have no idea what a freemason is!
That's quite the load of crap. The enemies of the Church are the enemies of the Church. It's not my fault that Pope Francis is one of them in his words and actions and Fr. Cekada is another in his words and actions. They are just two sides of the same coin.
This is typical Williamsonian script: enemies to the right of me, enemies to the left of me. A quest for moderation. Be careful you are not becoming a brand, one that would be intellectually painful to define!
I have noticed a pattern here where the latest breakaways from the SSPX have to claim moral superiority over previous ones. This would be quite an analysis considering the huge numbers that have passed through its portals. Since I parted company in the 1980s, I must be higher than Fr. Cekada's group but lower than the FSSP. And so I have to warn good folk that the next batch of defectors will occupy the high ground for awhile putting Bp. W's particular disaffection in the shade! Should Bp. Tissier ever escape his chains, he may well create his own French-based network suited to his own revivalist style. And so it goes on .......
It's typical of ignoramuses to call principles taught bySt. Thomas Aquinas, "Williamsonian" or even "Modernist" by some.
I guess absolutely no one can err by exaggerating the crisis and no one can err by underestimating the crisis.
