Earlier this morning, I tried to open a new topic at Ignis Ardens. That didn't work. Because it had to do with Bishop Fellay and the Krahgate matter, Clare, the site's moderator, scrubbed it immediately. I reprint the contents of my original topic starter below:

Clare posts a notice from a British SSPX District newsletter. Then she immediately locks the thread. Very good, Clare! I'll try to re-open it, but am not expecting much success.

Fr. Morgan writes in part the following:

Whilst this file (Krahgate), which apparently originated elsewhere, was recently removed at the initiative of the Ignis Ardens moderator, the damage caused will be much more difficult to repair given the public nature of the internet and the propensity for calumny and detraction to spread.

In this regard Bishop Fellay does not exclude having recourse to judicial process, and this should serve a warning to those who think they can commit public slander via the internet with impunity.

Father Paul Morgan.

A short open letter to Fr. Morgan.

Fr. Morgan, I'll tell you how you can help arrest the "damage caused" by Krahgate. You can get it all out in the open. Just trot out Krah's ample behind in front of a bank of mikes, along with HE Bishop Fellay, and let the two do some explaining to the SSPX public and others who are interested in learning the facts. You have it within your power to help head off this "propensity for calmny and detraction" by countering with the truth of the matter as you see it. If William of Norwich is a calumniator, as you seem to infer, then prove it, Father!

And, ah yes, we are all well aware of Bp. Fellay's own propensitiy for "having recourse to the judicial process." Where does he get all that money to litigate, from us? You must realize at this point that HE has lost the support of many in the SSPX, including myself. I personally do not care for the way he operates. He is turning more and more from a shepherd of the sheep into a tyrant of the sheep.

Your truly,

Hollingsworth

For what it's worth, I'm quite happy with the notice.

And I don't think that going on about it is particularly helpful.

Now I await a ton of "Dislikes".

Another lucrative source of income from the SSPX: "We shall take you to Court!"

See the famous comedy, Les Plaideurs, the Litigants, by Jean Racine:

Monsieur Perrin Dandin….
Il nous veut tous juger les uns après les autres.
Il marmotte toujours certaines patenôtres
Où je ne comprends rien. Il veut, bon gré, mal gré,
Ne se coucher qu'en robe et qu'en bonnet carré.
Il fit couper la tête à son coq, de colère,
Pour l'avoir éveillé plus tard qu'à l'ordinaire ;
Il disait qu'un plaideur dont l'affaire allait mal
Avait graissé la patte à ce pauvre animal.

Mr. Perrin-Dandin… he wants to Judge us all one after the other. He is always muttering some nonsense that I don't understand. He wishes, at any cost, to sleep in his judge’s hat and robe. He had his rooster's head cut off, out of anger, for waking him up later than usual. He said that a litigant whose case (Bp W?) was looking dark had bribed the poor animal.

NEXT VICTIM? !!! :judge:

Quote from: SpiritusSanctus

Bishop Fellay basically cannot handle the fact that people -even SSPX supporters- are saying that what he did was wrong. I think the Society would be better off with Bishop Williamson as its superior general.

I have said elsewhere that I am not a fan of Bishop Williamson. However, he would certainly provide the Society with a public face more consistent with its founding principles and its founder.

FWIW, authority has to exist BEFORE it can be undermined. The SSPX General House has no authority, in the strict, canonical sense of the term.

Even from their own perspective, they are relying upon ecclesia supplet, etc., to do what they do until they are 'regularized' or whatever. Until then, their 'authority' is more like a mutual agreement involving many persons.
