In light of his recent passing (
Fr. Fulham), this post and others like it take on new significance.
.
It would seem Fr. P. had been looking for another priest he could make second in command so he eventually settled on Fr. Hewko:
.
I don't expect + Williamson to do everything but I would have joined had he started something concrete. I don't know or have contact with + Faure so I haven't thought about that.
As for Fr. P - he called me 2 years ago and started telling me that + Williamson was "controlled".
The reason as he explained to me was that he wanted + Williamson to do something as well but he was unwilling - there was something more but I cannot remember it now.
BTW if you also check passed posts you'll discover that I originated the expression "Calamity Joe" well before Pfeifferville went off the rails. Having been in seminary with him I knew inexorably where that would go. He is not a leader and he lacks self-discipline. It was he who tried to get me to join up - but with him as C-in-C - forget that !
.
C-in-C would refer to Commander-in-Chief.

I offered my not inconsiderable library to Fr. P who said his seminarians didn't need books. I recently related that to Fr. Chazal who wants them for his seminary in the Philippines. So any time he's ready he can come and get them.
As to skulls - that was said of priests (at diaconal retreat) it gave me pause for thought. Of bishops I heard it said that at the general judgment every bishop will be looking for someone else to put his miter on.
If you don't mind I'll PM you a copy of a message I shared with someone else last night because it may help you better understand some issues.

Speaking of his "not inconsiderable library," does anyone know what has become of that?
.
If his seminarians don't need books, then how are they going to learn to protect the Faith of Catholics?
