  • Website Launch

    On the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary a website has just been launched on the Internet which could be of serious interest to regular readers of these Eleison Comments. It will be found at www.stmarcelinitiative.com. It will present the latest issue and all back-issues of the Comments in English and Italian back to 2007, and the latest issue and back-issues for the last five years or so in French, German and Spanish. And for readers who prefer reading on paper to reading on an electronic screen, the website will offer various means of choosing back-issues and printing them together.

    A second section of the website, “Books and Talks,” will make available recorded conferences and sermons of Bishop Williamson, copies on paper of the first two of the four volumes of his “Rector’s Letters” written in the USA between 1983 and 2003, and all extant literature seminars of Dr . White. Again, modern electronics will provide a variety of ways of reaching and downloading these recordings, but only a few are on video as well as on audio. Orders to purchase can also be made by telephone by dialling +1 844 SMI SHOP, i.e., 1 (844) 764–7467.

    Catholics – and non-Catholics! – not yet familiar with the literature recordings of Dr. White should seize this opportunity to see how he uses the classics of world literature as a bridge to connect the Faith to the world around us. The gap between these two grows greater every day. Conciliar Catholics have tried to adapt yesterday’s Faith to today’s world and many have lost their Faith in the process. Traditional Catholics are liable to scorn both today’s world as irredeemably lost, and world literature as irredeemably “unspiritual,” and the Faith of many of them has become quite detached from reality in the process. Dr. White has both a strong faith and a firm grip on the real world around us today, and his mastery of world literature has enabled him to make sense of both for countless souls, old and young, who felt otherwise hopelessly schizophrenic. Strongly recommended.

    A third section of the website concerns “Donations.” It will present a similar variety of electronic means of donating to help maintain an oasis of, one hopes, good sense amidst today’s wasteland of nonsense. It should allow benefactors to donate what they want, when they want, on the schedule they want, and with ease. To set up the website has actually been quite an expense on its own. We think it should prove well worth while, but it has been one more reason for us to appeal to your generosity. We thank you in advance.

    A fourth section is entitled “Information.” It will tell a little about the St Marcel Initiative, about how the website operates, and about what Bishop Williamson has been doing and hopes to do. However, news of his future engagements must be released with a measure of caution, because he does not have only friends around the world.

    The Internet has serious drawbacks and dangers, but there is no question that, by an astonishing variety of electronic means, truths can be found on it that can be found nowhere else. We gently hope that this new website will contribute to that fund of truth. A lot of work has gone into putting it together, and besides the contribution of the many workers, that of many benefactors has also been indispensable. We sincerely thank all concerned. May God repay each of them, each of yourselves.

    Kyrie eleison.

    This is long overdue.  

    Congratulations, Bishop Williamson!  

    Finally, a truly free and open resource for real Catholics to browse and for good-willed converts to become informed.   At long last.  Things are lookin' up.

  • PLEASE... date these issues and give issue number .  How hard can it be to copy and paste the heading the good Bishop puts at the top of his ELEISON COMMENTS.??
    He doesn't call his work EC.  and the issue number and dates are for quick reference.
    When we look for the good Bishops work we look for ELEISON COMMENTS  NOT the topic which we don't yet know ! ! ! !

    The good Bishop  doesn't need an editor

  • Thank you Adolphus.  I just found this site literally 15 minutes ago via EcclesiaMilitan's post with the current Recusant issue and followed a link on that website.  I haven't yet explored - just now listening to Dr. White's introduction.

    The header does not contain date nor issue number.  Also, since the header is an image, it cannot be inserted as the thread's title nor as its subject and cannot be copied and pasted as you suggest.

    Besides, I must say that I have not edited any of the ECs when I post them.  Not even if they come with typos or with omissions.

    I was referring to the subject heading of this thread, which you type,  where we here on CI look for subjects to read.  Putting the date and/or issue number helps greatly when 2 or more Eleison Comments have been replied to on the same day.
      And yes the issue number and date can be copied as it is directly above the text of the article, but that would show up only after one opened the thread. (see below)
