    15 decades and prayers for the dying on the way. A brain hemorrhage is a stroke, right? Bp. Tissier had the same thing, result of a head injury. May Our Lady be at his side.

    Yes. Internal bleeding in the brain from a burst vessel.

    It is early morning in the UK: 8:47 AM, about six hours ahead of the US. Hopefully, there will be some news when North America wakes up. It does not have to be positive news; sometimes God's plans are not what we hope for. But any developments are welcome.

    As His Excellency has received Last Rites perhaps in our charity we could pray the Prayers for the Dying from the Rituale Romanum (1944)


    Great idea!  :pray:

    He did have some mistakes, but his knowledge, education, courage, sermons are so valuable, at least for me. God help him and bless him.

    • Death is the great equalizer.  Doesn't matter if you were Pope, Bishop, President, or bag boy at the grocery store.  Everyone appears before God "naked" as it were, and he'll just be "Richard".  We know that those in authority and influence (even if he didn't have strict authority) have more room for mistakes, and that is why we pray more for priests, bishops, and popes, since they're more in need.  Bishop Williamson had received many talents, and he'll be asked to show a greater return.

    I recall when Wojtyla died and all the Novus Ordites were declaring his immediate entry into heaven, saying things like (Groeschel of EWTN), "I'm praying for him but not too hard." ... meaning he felt Wojtyla had passed straight into Heaven.  We don't pray for Popes, Bishops, etc. because we like them, or think they were "nithe".  Nor do we NOT pray for them (as Groeschel) because we've DECIDED that they were holy.  At the end of the day, we do not know what goes on in any one's internal forum.  So let's not be complacent for that reason either.  People might consider the Popes and Bishops lucky to have SO MANY praying for them, but that's only right since they had the opportunity to influence (and harm) THAT MANY MORE people, and they'll be judged for anything downstream that they were accountable for.  So, for instance, Bishop Williamson, to some extent, will be reponsible for any priest that he ordained and anything he did, such as, say, etc.  Thus the higher up you are, the more in need of prayers you are.  So we should pray fervently for Bishop Williamson, for Richard.

    • So, many of us knew Bishop Williamson, so we should go through and think about all the graces and other benefits we received through Bishop Williamson, and "remind" God of them, as it were, and, conversely, we can express to God that we forgive him for any wrongs or harm we may have endured, and please with God to not judge him for it.  I can go through my own mind all the great things I received through him, from the classes he taught, his example, the spirtual conferences at the seminary, and the many things I learned from him that have helped defend me against the lures and snares of Modernism.

    +Richard Nelson Williamson is a prelate above other prelates in this generation. Whilst I do not agree with all his opinions, I have no greater respect for any other bishop today, not even the best of the sede bishops and priests with whom I share common opinion.

    • I would have never left the Consiliar Church and sought out Reality if it wasn't for Bishop Williamson.
    Even when I was still in the NO in the 1990's, I was aware of "This Bishop" who spoke such uncompromised Truth that it pierced my heart.  The world was scandalized by him, but I was elated and intrigued by his words as so many were.
    When I finally did meet him in 2014, I was surprised to see that the "Lion" was so very kind and gentle and humorous! Certainly one of the greatest Churchmen( a term he likes) of our time.
    While some may disagree, to me Bishop Williamson is the true heir of Archbishop Lefebvre and it's a honor to be in his "realm" even in the smallest way.

    A comment on X about the Bishop :
    God must be preparing for [His] wrath if He chooses to take Bishop Williamson

    I never met him personally, but I have heard him described as a lion in pulpit and a lamb in the confessional.  That struck me as the way a priest ought to be.

    His loss really would feel like the end of an era.
