I initially had hoped that it wasn't malicious, but when I look at telegra.ph, one can go on there and start posting with no account needed, no name to attach to it, no email, nothing. I posted something on there myself to confirm, and suspicions were right. Seems as if anyone can post there, no strings attached.

Add to that the odd English grammar for someone who ostensibly works for a prior in Britain and whose boss is a highly-educated Cambridge graduate... something is not adding up. It may just be someone being an idiot or getting wrong information, but something is not adding up.

I meant telegram not telegraph 

For what it’s worth…Traditio.com is standing by the following regarding His Excellency:

    THE TRADITIO FATHERS REPLY>>> A death announcement has been issued
by Regina Martyrum House, Broadstairs, Kent, in the United Kingdom, which
was Williamson's episcopal home base.

Please stop! This has already proven to be fake. Traditio is not a particularly reliable site.

Agreed. And Traditio is known to be against +W.

One just has to do a google search to confirm this.

And some of you jumped right onto the bandwagon to attack without bothering to spend 30 seconds to click the link and investigate whether this accusation was true.

Then you layer some additional slander on top, claimng Traditio is "against" Bishop Williamson.  They're against SSPX, but have been positive toward him ever since he split off from them, despite your false assertion that one need merely do a Google search to confirm, a search which you evidently did not perform.

This is what he writes beneath the above clarification regarding the conflicting reports.

Doesn't sound like he's all that "against" Bishop Williamson (copied directly from Traditio.com and keeping his formatting) ...

Williamson was just short of his 85th birthday. It is entirely fitting that Our Lord should have taken him on the Double Major Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul, as Williamson was himself a convert from Anglicanism and himself converted many souls.
Bishop Williamson consecrated eight bishops for the Traditional Catholic Movement:

• Jean-Michel Faure (2016)
• Tomas Aquin (2017)
• Gerardo Zendejas (2017)
• Giacomo Ballini (2020).
• Paul Morgan (?2023, in pectore)
• Michal Stobnicki (?2023, in pectore)
• perhaps two more in pectore

On June 23, 2011, Bishop Williamson, who was at the time in the midst an imbroglio with Bernie Fellay, then Superior General of the Neo-Society of St. Pius X, took the time to write the TRADITIO Fathers, conveying his "respect for you and your work on the TRADITIO site." That imbroglio with Fellay finally led to Williamson's abandoning the Neo-SSPX because it had strayed from the Traditional Catholic principles of its founder, Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, and had made overtures to join the apostate Newchurch of the New Order
Although Bishop Williamson has disappointed many Traditional Catholics by not taking on the mantle of SSPX Traditional Catholic Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and vigorously carrying on the Archbishop's work in contrast to Fellay's Neo-SSPX, which fell away from those principles, Williamson was a very decent man and did much for the Traditional Catholic movement.

Okay....thanks for the correction. I appreciate it.

But at least I didn't insist that the plug should be pulled on the *vegetative* Bp. Williamson, like someone else here did recently.

Does anyone have a clue who that "Miss. Madelyn" was from the post that announced +W's death?

I actually did some searches on "Madelyn" combined with various other words.  I could not find any trace of a person with that name associated with Regina Martyrum House.  Of course, that does not prove anything.  On the other hand, I have no evidence that such a person even exists.
