SSPX Response to Bishop Williamson
« on: January 29, 2025, 05:50:28 PM »
I am starting this thread out of a sense of curiosity. For those of us who, for one reason or another, still attend SSPX chapels/Mass centres, I am curious how your chapels/Priests are approaching the illness and death of His Excellency Bp Williamson.

When Bishop Tissier passed, there were many announcements, emails, Requiem Masses said, etc. it was the talk of the town, so to speak. Our Chapel had a public Requiem said for Bishop Tissier and custom Holy Cards made up. 

At my chapel, nothing was announced from the pulpit regarding Bishop Williamson, but our Prior did email out a brief request to pray for His Excellency. Most of our chapel attendees are long timers and have fond memories of Bishop Williamson visiting our chapel over the decades for confirmations, Church Blessings etc. many of us remember his letters from when he was the rector at Ridgefield and Winona, etc. so I am very interested in how this is approached in SSPX circles today.

I am curious what everyone else’s experiences are here?

This past Sunday, Fr. Gregory Pfeiffer (nephew of Frs. Tim and Joe Pfeiffer) announced about His Excellency and asked for prayers.

Kennedy Hall wrote on Twitter asking for prayers and acknowledging Bishop Williamson as devoting his life to the Church in a time of crisis and being very courageous.

Yes, I speculated that there would be little (if anything) official from SSPX, while individual priests may say something.

Sadly, His Excellency will not take his rightful place beside Archbishop Lefebvre at Econe ... not until we have a Traditional Pope who orders the exhumation and removal of Huonder, and his replacement by Bishop Williamson.  His Excellency toiled for decades and will be buried in obscurity somewhere ... while Huonder went on retrat for a couple years, doing next to nothing other than creating chaos by "consecrating" some oil and was almost certainly acting as Bergoglio's agent (since Bergoglio reportedly approved of his going there, despite hating Tradition).  I suspect that his next move would have been "ordaining" some priests, but God intervened to prevent that.

Shame on the SSPX, and +Fellay in particular for what he did to Bishop Williamson.

Not a peep / tweet out of them here since Bishop Williamson first suffered the hemorrhage.
