I will miss Bishop Williamson.
A funny story, I was exchanging e-mail with him years ago to perhaps conduct a written interview in regards to a potential monarchy in North America in the distant future. This was around the time Charles Coulombe published Star Spangled Crown. Anyway, he said "nah!" He said such an interview would be utterly pointless, as there will never be any chance of a monarchy forming in this country, ever. Pure Englishman.
I'll probably look up one of his great sermons tonight, for old times' sake. Even my non-Catholic friends have heard of him and enjoyed a sermon or two of his. I'm glad I've kept all of his newsletters.
Star-Spangled Crown is enjoyable to read for what it is, but it really can't be taken seriously, CC had to produce a monarch some way, so he found one in the royal house of a small European country that is a thinly veiled
Doppelgänger of Luxembourg or Liechtenstein. It was also entertaining to read how the new American monarchy absorbs back pretty much any country where the US has had some kind of presence, such as Liberia, the Philippines, Samoa, Palau, and curiously, the "Sultanate of Sulu", a small, largely Muslim archipelago on the far south end of the Philippines, among others.
FWIW, Bishop Williamson's mother was American.
But not to derail a very serious thread about the Bishop, who now stands on the edge of eternity. Prayers for his holy death, which now seems inevitable.
