SSPX Response to Bishop Williamson

  • 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.

  • In Canada at least two SSPX churches announced his illness and requested prayers at Sunday Mass.

  • Yes, yes ... those are on the individual priests' initiative.  What about SSPX themselves, officially?  I've seen not a peep out of them.

    Same here. The priest at our chapel also spoke very highly of His Excellency, and said that he contributed a great deal to the traditional movement.

    Dear Parishioners,

    In your charity, please pray for His Excellency Bishop Williamson who has suffered a brain hemorrhage.

    It is being reported, as of noon today, he is in critical condition.

    May St. Joseph, Patron Saint of the Dying, assist him in his last agony!

    This.

    Some individual priests might be "good", and there are valid Masses and graces there. but the SSPX as an organization, in the abstract, is dung.

    Anything good you can point to is from God through one or more priests. The good comes IN SPITE OF the SSPX and its objective evils. The SSPX adds nothing, and only takes away, from the graces given by God through the ministry of SSPX priests.
    THEREFORE, if the SSPX were totally dissolved, say they were shut down by the government, sued for 500 billion and thus had to collapse, it would be 100% good, 0% bad, a total blessing for the world.

    Because all the priests would still be there, they would still be offering Mass. But the evil organization (SSPX) controlling them towards evil, leading them back to Vatican II, deceiving the people, attacking good priests, putting out propaganda and lies, would be gone. There are other evils the organization has perpetrated, which I won't mention here.

  • I would give it a few hours. It's not yet 3 in the morning in Menzingen, and it His Excellency's passing hasn't been announced on any of the 'official' resistance websites (so far only the facebook group and the telegram).

    You are right, they will surely make an official announcement.

    However, given Bishop Williamson's importance to the Society and the Church, there ought to have been an official SSPX announcement of his sudden life-threatening illness and a request for Masses and prayers. More than five days passed...

  • Let's be real. The SSPX is trying to memory-hole the good Bishop. They are all about "the good of the SSPX" as an organization, and other considerations (the good of souls, God's will, charity) come in a DISTANT second.

    As I said, the SSPX is rotten. Past tense, all the way to the core. It is salt that has lost its savor. The sooner the SSPX is dissolved the better. I'm NOT saying anything should "happen" to the priests, Faithful, etc. But every last one of them would be better off -- in every way -- without the SSPX organization in continued existence.
