Another Eleison Comments this week, Chaos Deciphered, proves the point again of Bishop Williamson's lame view and intent to disparage the Church in Her missionary approach and ability to go out into the harvest...to find souls. Bishop Williamson tried to "answer" an edited question why things are fractured with a designed plot with a sequence of five descending groups all a part of a chaos having no purpose but to do nothing but pray. His Chaos Deciphered, drawn in his mind, allows the reader to associate there is a descending revolution of the (1) novus ordo, (2) SSPX, (3) sedevacantists, (4) "Resistance", (5) Fr. Pfeiffer’s group. " With more spits to come", he says, without correcting the understanding and providing where the truth is. In observation, I find it interesting he allows as (5) the unchanged work of Archbishop Lefebvre he has been trying to override and squash in the last few years leaving a denominator to go to the waste bin, as it is a decending choice. Just like the "resistance" for him is placed as (4). Because, those five choices for him are all "chaos", and leaves the reader with that thought. His following narration is quite partial to his own melancholy: This is true with himself giving up in 2012 not wanting fight anymore against the neo-tradition infiltration catholic thought, and not wanting to lead or resist the modern world anymore. -Developing an archive here Bp. Williamson Said He Wants NOTHING with the "Resistance" This is the same disparaged vision he expressed within his Banquet speech just after consecrating Bishop Zendejas, May 12, 2017: This is a voice of a Catholic bishop? Why are thoughts allowed in the Holiness of the Church to do nothing, sit, and let God on His own fix the problem without the help of His bishops to lead, like himself to get off his duff? Bishop Williamson acts in spirit like Jonah hiding from God to act and save the people. What was the point of BW being a catholic bishop if to sit on his laurels? It is quite disgusting. More so, he narrates a complete different story from the generations of the Church leading with an effort to convert others. The "resistance", he likes to put in quotation marks, is something he wants NOTHING to do with, and is a bunch of cat calls and infighting, so he said on Nov. 5, 2014, being a lost movement for the cause of God. Yet, he hijacks it for his own benefactor ends to steer it to do nothing so not to disturb his lame conscience. (sic) He also tries to put the work of ABL in a box through the ill attempt to describe "Fr. Pfeiffer's group" as a pinocchio off spin from his "resistance", so he says. The fact is the opposite, BW came later and tried to steal the "resistance" into a false brand of nothing-burgers. We see this over and over again telling people to lay down and only "pray", visit your local least contaminated mass center, and get the Five First Saturdays from anywhere you can; even from the novus ordo masses. Regardless if the faith is abused and doctrinally altered. For Bishop Williamson to be so disingenuous saying the "Pfieffer group" is a spin off from the "resistance" because the resistance isn't doing enough is laughable. Especially when it is he who knocks the resistance down in every chance he gets. Like this newest Eleison Comments. What is he doing as a Catholic bishop beside sitting on his laurels? Where is his ambition to teach at seminaries; or even encourage vocations...? What a crock of smelly aged fish. Why is he so stand-off just looking on as a spectator? Does this have to do with his same intent of July 2012 telling Frs. Pfeiffer and Chazal to "...take you punishment and do nothing for a resistance" because BW sought an "amiable separation" from Bishop Fellay? See here cor-mariae.com/index.php?threads/fr-pfeiffer-conference.3776/By the way, what is with all of these months of July's? It is extraordinary most of BW's radical explosions are in the month of July. And the only mindless thing his followers say about him is he preaches like a St. Stephen. (sic)

Dear friend,
To say that Bishop Williamson does nothing and sit on his laurels is very false. The good bishop visited Father Pivert last year and he gave the cassock to young men. During his sermon, he encouraged them to follow their vocation.
Also, we all know that the Bishop makes heroic efforts to travel the world and to give us sacrements. You don't realise how much it is difficult for him and how much he suffers. And it's perfectly understandable when we know he is 78 years old. The good bishop is completely exhausted by his ministry. He does what he can, not what he wants. However, any honest soul who listen to Bishop Williamson's sermons can't say that he doesn't care about souls. He certainly cares about souls more than any other bishop in the world and he would be ready to be martyred to save souls. "The act of charity to the predator [the ennemies of God] is not to play ball, is not to go along with it. The ennemies of God are crying out for real Catholics that will stand up to them and tell them what nonsense, what diabolical and dangerous for eternity nonsense they are getting into. That's what they need. [...] To save their souls, they need you and me to go to the death if necessary. [...] That's what you and I have to do.
And it may well come to that in two, three, four years. Some bangs on our door in the middle of the night, off you go... prison... electric shocks... the whole treatment... and you and I got to stand up to it, with the grace of God. And remember that God will not give his grace before the day it's needed. So, you and I don't pray now for the grace of martyrdom or the grace of strength to end up to martyrdom, You and I pray, today, for the grace to do our duty in each little detail today, to love God all day long, ect... And then when the day comes, when they start using the shocks and so and so on... then you and I start yelling out for some grace to stand up to it. Because without the grace of God, how can any of us stand up to it, to the fiendish tortures that they have today ? Terrible. But God is stronger. Again, great trust in God, forget about all these weaked human beings." (Bishop Williamson - Confusion Now Hath Made His Masterpiece Part 4)

John, you are not addressing the topic (nor the others you started). The topic is Chaos Organized created and maintained by Bishop Williamson. Sitting on his laurels is figurative and is one of its accidental effects discussing his obstinace to lead like a bishop in and out of season. We are fair and faithful to him by quoting his own words with NO interpretation. You offer a devotion to the bishop, but devotion means nothing before God without the substance of the faith. Do you read all of his Epistles and sermons pre and post 2012? If so, you would see and understand a coherent and deliberate change he professes...constantly. You or anyone else cannot change his course; but himself. Trying as you do to avoid this reality always wanting to recall his Dino years is a discredit to his post-2012 will and intention. Please read for yourself – we have been providing his own words to you but you are displacing them as difficult to accept. Which I can understand. Whether the bishop makes efforts, you call heroic, to travel the “world” for sacraments is basic and fundamental for a bishop to do. The part you are not addressing is the Bishing he is commanded to do by God -- which is missing since 2012. Even many of his followers recognized this…to their stated dismay. So it is not all “us”, is it? Taking another moment to address your claims, hoping you will address ours specifically at some time, the bishop may be 78 to your mind in excuse to his mental and physical ailment, but he does not mentioned any such thing for his spiritual ailment; which is the topic at hand. He never said he is retired or is retiring. With his attitude, we wish he had, but he loves to carry the baton without running the race (St. Paul) I’m afraid when I read your comments they are more to embellish the bishop with platitudes than to compare what the duties of a catholic bishop are to his actions than wanting a Shakespeare bishop. When the bishop returns to the Catholic mission to promote the Catholic faith than all the time he spends promoting alternatives, because, the sky is going to fall so forget about organizing; forget structure; forget seminaries… The only reason there is some structure and seminaries in some quarters was NOT because of him; it is in SPITE of him to do so. His efforts have been to discourage and tear down! That is an Eleison Comment admitted fact. So please, let’s place his epistles where he wants, on the couch of compromise. In effect, sitting on his laurels as a bishop. Do you see the figurative imagery? And BTW, thanks for the reminder to provide his mind is always in the boogy-man (jews and other...behind the unknown door), he remains hiding only to provide his secret sacraments no one knows about unless your on the "good" list. As Tobias reminds us John, can you not see the ecumenical mulit-sided gem in the post-2012 bishop where he desires to please everyone; including, to say what each wants to hear (sedes, novus ordoites, neo-trads, new-sspxers…) even though there is a contradiction? For him, he draws a commonality as an indult mentality so everyone can feel comfortable, as you do, with good feelings about him. So when you want doctrine like ABL, he offers, you want to live judging the pope, he complies, you want practical idols in the novus ordo, you can go to it..., you want neo-tradition, be happy. But remember, "it is dangerous" so says the "principled Dino". After consuming that stuff John, then what? When can we have a conversation about what Catholicism is? What our Lord’s mission is in the Church? What a Catholic bishop is for and what they do, and suppose to do? Do you really think, like him, “not to be too concerned to bring souls towards us because people just don't understand today.”? To be silent in the harvest? To punish faithful who have the charity and decency to help him not to lose his soul in apathy and omit his duty to provide vocations and seminaries for the Church? Where did he ever once promote vocations in his sermons and Eleison comments post-2012? Not once; ever! Where is his future? Where is ours in a dismissive attitude of a bishop? You can make an eulogy and un-official biography of Bishop Williamson as you wish, but remember, his own words contradict, plainly and specifically, your attempts to paint the picture otherwise. Let’s not play gander when the goose is loud and clear. “Put away your toys!; “The resistance isn’t going anywhere”; "I am not going to lead”. (Bishop Williamson Conference Q&A November 5, 2014 St. Catharines ON, Canada).

Probably this needs to be another wake up call. There's no question Bp. Williamson changed course from the catholic teaching of Archbishop Lefebvre. He said so. He repeatedly declared he wants independence and people can be free to do what they want. But his followers behave like they don't even notice trying to portray the bishop as nothing had changed.
Even the The Remnant newspaper was honest they notice the changes in the SSPX when its followers don't. This can be applied to the false resistance too -Pretending like they don't even notice bp. Williamson had changed is like something right out of The Twilight Zone.

To Machabees
Dear friend,
Four months ago, I read all the quotes which are supposed to prove that Bishop Williamson doesn't care about souls, that he is not against ecumenism, ect. and at first, I believed the accusations made against the good bishop. However, one day, I decided to check by myself. I began to listen to some of sermons and conferences given recently (post-2012) by the Bishop and then, my opinion changed completely. I realised that the good bishop was really victime of false accusations.
You cannot take quotes from Bishop Williamson here and there and say : this one means that he is not against ecumenism, that other one means that he doesn't care about souls, etc. You can't because any honest soul who will listen to his sermons post-2012 will see that it's not true.
And what you call "devotion" to the Bishop is nothing more than my duty (and the duty of any catholic soul) to recognize the huge sacrifices made by the Bishop to continue to give us the sacraments that we need. You don't need to believe that the good bishop makes heroic efforts to travel the world, but it will not change the reality. (And if a can make a suggestion, try to do it when you will be 78 and after, please tell me if it's easy). I'm not trying to make an "eulogy" or to "embellish the bishop", I am here to defend the reputation of an innocent and honest bishop. That's all. So, if you want to know the truth about Bishop Williamson, you will find below a clear answer to each of your objections. All the quotes mentioned in my refutations are from sermons, conferences or interviews given by Bishop Williamson AFTER 2012.
1 - The chaos is created and maintained by Bishop Williamson
False. Bishop Williamson is doing everything he can to help the priests and the laity who want to resist to the slide of the SSPX. If there is a structure in the Resistance, it is because Bishop Williamson encouraged and approuved the creation of the SAJM.
"At the meeting of February 2016, Bishop Williamson invited us to a more precise structure. At the time, the organization of a structure seemed a bit premature. However, in the month that followed, the decision was made [to create the SAJM], with the agreement of Bishop Williamson and Bishop Thomas Aquinas." (Mgr Jean-Michel Faure, Les Nouvelles du séminaire n°4)
Bishop Williamson also visited the seminary of Avrillé in October 2017 and he said : "Bishop Faure was absolutely right to create a seminary and a structure, it was necessary." If the Bishop didn't create the stucture himself, it's only because he doesn't have the capacity to do it. It's already very difficult for him to travel the world at his age, he cannot do more. In 2016, Bishop Williamson visited fifteen countries (Eleison Comment : Fifteen Countries, December 31, 2016) and he gave sacraments to hundreds of souls. In 2017, only in Colombia (South America), Bishop Williamson administered the sacrament of Confirmation to 62 souls and he gave Holy Communion for the first time to 33 souls.
2 - Bishop Williamson is not against ecumenism
False. There are hundreds, if not thousands of quotes coming from the sermons and conferences given by the Bishop post-2012 which prove clearly the opposite. Here are some :
"the way to be happy for Eternity is to die in the arms of the Catholic Religion, in the arms of the Catholic Church." Bishop Williamson, Window On The World part 1
"if eternity in Heaven is salvation, then you have to go through Our Lord Jesus Christ who was the one and the only incarnate God, the one only time God took human nature, become human being in order to die on the cross and open Heaven for souls." Bishop Williamson, Window On The World part 1
"Our Divine Lord said : "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life " and he said : " I am God and if you want to get to Heaven, you must believe in Me". And that's not outrageous and Our Lord prove it wasn't outrageous by dying on the cross. He died a horrible death on the cross to prove his love for us human beings. He loved us even unto death and if we want to go to His Heaven then, we need to believe him and do what he says which is to believe, to be baptized and to be a member of His Church. And he got a right to say that because he's God." Bishop Williamson, Window On The World part 1
"[...] to put him [Our Lord Jesus Christ] in the same class as all of those leaders of religions is blasphemy, objectively speaking, is blaphemy [...]" Bishop Williamson, Last Sunday before Pentecost
"It's only by the grace of the Catholic Church, it's only by the grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ coming from and through the Catholic Church that any body can be saved." Bishop Williamson - 1st Sunday of Passion, March 25, 2018
3 - Bishop Williamson doesn't promote vocations in his sermons
False. Bishop Williamson visited Father Pivert on July 2017 and during his sermon, he encouraged vocations and he praised religious life. Here is an excerpt of what he said (I encourage you to read the whole sermon. It is in French but you can translate it in English with Google Translate).
"So, my dear friends, let us learn to live with God, let us follow a religious vocation - if God call us. It's possible even today. The world does not succeed in stifling God. He does his best, he succeeds with too many people, but he who wants God, it is impossible for God to abandon him." (Mgr Williamson : le monde ne réussit pas à étouffer le Bon Dieu, 4 juillet 2017)
4 - Bishop Williamson doesn't care about souls
Also false. Have you ever seen a Catholic bishop who is ready to be martyred to convert souls who don't care about souls ? Please, read what Bishop Williamson said in one of his conference on June 6, 2017 (post-2012) :
"The act of charity to the predator [the ennemies of God] is not to play ball, is not to go along with it. The ennemies of God are crying out for real Catholics that will stand up to them and tell them what nonsense, what diabolical and dangerous for eternity nonsense they are getting into. That's what they need. [...] To save their souls, they need you and me to go to the death if necessary. [...] That's what you and I have to do. And it may well come to that in two, three, four years. Some bangs on our door in the middle of the night, off you go... prison... electric shocks... the whole treatment... and you and I got to stand up to it, with the grace of God. And remember that God will not give his grace before the day it's needed. So, you and I don't pray now for the grace of martyrdom or the grace of strength to end up to martyrdom, You and I pray, today, for the grace to do our duty in each little detail today, to love God all day long, ect... And then when the day comes, when they start using the shocks and so and so on... then you and I start yelling out for some grace to stand up to it. Because without the grace of God, how can any of us stand up to it, to the fiendish tortures that they have today ? Terrible. But God is stronger. Again, great trust in God, forget about all these weaked human beings." H.E. Bishop Williamson on June 6, 2017
Than, ask to yourself the following question : Is it possible that Bishop Williamson doesn't care about souls ? Really, is it possible ?
So, let us not try to find an excuse to live without bishop. As Father Pfeiffer said a few years ago "there will be always, until the end of world, at least one Catholic bishop left." These words contradict plainly what he is doing now and he cannot erase them. Therefore, let us accept our dependence towards our bishops and let us recongnize the heroic act of charity that Bishop Williamson did by consacrating for us three bishops.
"My dear friends, congratulations to every single one of you - persevere - coming to mass here. [...] My dear friends, persevere, persevere. If you and I persevere there is Heaven at the end of the road." Bishop Richard Williamson - The Role of Church and State, March 2018

John (or really Samuel?), trying to re-narrate the bishop pitting himself against himself, and calling it catholic, is a poor attempt to serve the Church. You begin by introducing a non sequitur. Either you wish we marvel at your attempts to smear Catholic Genome or have us believe you are really so disingenuous and insulting to the bishop as to us not to read ALL of his own words provided to you many times? You manifest exactly what we have been saying – Bishop Williamson says one thing one day and the opposite on the next. He is an absolute duplicititist!! He tries to please every erroneous branch of trad-ecumenism at the SAME time you find favor with. Are you not honest to admit this? Why do you act like those in the novus ordo doing the same for pope Francis. Constantly silent to the errors of what the pope says one day only to cherry pick when he says something orthodox the next. Are you telling us you accept this thus promoting modernism? Do you deny the truth, like peter, to please self-satisfactions? You again set the bishop against the bishop. Bishop Williamson’s own words proves he is an ambiguous modernist contrary to your ill-attempts to paint him otherwise. [In response to your four titles:] 1 - The chaos is created and maintained by Bishop Williamson.
Chaos? See for yourself. The bad fruits drop under its rotted tree. The chaos is listed with his own words cor-mariae.com/index.php?threads/quotes-of-bp-williamson-supporting-the-new-religion-and-conciliarism.4457/ Created and maintained? See for yourself, the evidence of deceit is clear for all to see. "Resistant" Bishops Create New Congregation for Political ReasonsIt is further discovered Bishop Faure illegally created that congregation with powers he does not have – they maintain a true vagabond church. See here, thecatacombs.org/thread/217/sajm-approved-congregation-illegally-erected 2 - Bishop Williamson is not against ecumenism (that is your title, and I agree, he is NOT AGAINST ecumenism, he is all for it). I’m surprised you are treating Bishop Williamson like a little boy in your selected quotes. All catholics say those things. It is what else he says that is not catholic; already pointed out to you. Trying to white wash the bishop as you did here thecatacombs.org/thread/624/bp-williamson-outside-church-salvation doesn’t help the Catholic State. There is plenty of his manifest and pertinacious trad-ecumenism , see here, cor-mariae.com/index.php?threads/quotes-of-bp-williamson-supporting-the-new-religion-and-conciliarism.4457/ 3 - Bishop Williamson doesn't promote vocations in his sermons.
A). Thanks for your exaggeration and admittance you had to seek out under the bushel to find something even proximate to Bishop Williamson promoting vocations –in the French language. You admit by it in the English speaking world there is not one iota to promote vocations by him, nor in any other language, since he left the SSPX. Of course, because he didn’t want to hear or “herd cats”. B). How is that generalized un-linked quote you provided anything proximate to promote vocations? It is hoped he as a bishop and you as a follower of him can produce some real promotion and consistency for vocations for the Church’s needs instead of stalling and dragging his feet? One generalization does not make a house. Hopefully by our Catholic pressure over these 6 years is caving him in so he will one day really start promoting vocations as a Catholic bishop should – 24/7. BTW, your comment he said such, without a link, in a sermon for the other trad-ecumenist Fr. Pivert who supports, like Bishop Faure, sedevacantist seminarians and non una cum priests to say mass on their altars is not very creditable when it is for trad-ecumenism – is it? See here, cor-mariae.com/index.php?threads/bishop-faure-sajj-seminary-accepts-%E2%80%9Cnon-una-cum%E2%80%9D-seminarians-to-be-ordained.4493/ 4 - Bishop Williamson doesn't care about souls.
Once again John you wish to cherry pick the bishop still presenting another square peg round hole. Of course he cares about souls. The question is, how does he care about them? Brushing off as you do in these posts already providing you with his own disparaging words does not change the facts you wish to be otherwise. His words are self-evident: John, Bishop Fellay “cares” about souls too. So doesn’t pope Francis. So what’s your point? Because they say something orthodox every once and a while as throwing a bone to keep their docile followers happy? How is that catholic? How is it catholic to consecrate other bishops “for us” anything to do with Catholicism when it is set in a vagabond frame and only for a New Williamson Line? Sedevacantists consecrate bishops too for their own perverse ends. So doesn’t the false resistance. Not interested but for true Catholicism our Lord gave to us. BTW, Fr. Pfeiffer is not the end all as you wish he to be. Your rude statements to undercut the work of Archbishop Lefebvre manifested in those priests WHO NEVER LEFT THE SSPX, unlike those cheap priests and bishops who have and are deceivers to say otherwise, continue to do the work they were ordained in Statue to do. I do not know if you are a convert to Catholicism: #1, A bishop is not needed for salvation; never has. #2, A bishop and the magisterium is only an accidental to the faith. They are not the rule to the faith; as you surmise. Bishops are only present to UPHOLD the integrity for the faith, an authority to guide, and to sanctify souls entrusted to them: to Teach, Govern, and Sanctify. It is the rule of faith we follow as baptized Catholics; not false authority nor a false obedience you wish to implant. Bishop Williamson has no jurisdiction; neither does his other three bishops. Thus, they are not “our” bishops. As far as a bishop, we all have bishops entrusted to us by the Church in our own Diocese. Whether they are bad bishops means nothing. Please go and convert them back...to see our Lord they were consecrated for; as we try to do with Bishop Williamson. What remains for you and us john, is why is Bishop Williamson duplicit? The answer is simple when you see he wants to be a “conservative” and see things conservatively while putting up a camouflage of “tradition”. He sees the novus ordo as something legitimate and only “bad and dangerous” when it is applied liberally; but when sought for its conservative ends, he supports it. This is undeniable with his many statements drawn out here, Bishop Williamson: traditionalism or "conservatism"? If you want to understand his nexus why he does this, see here in his own words -- “he puts a ‘subjective excuse in the foreground is to put the objective in the background’”. cor-mariae.com/index.php?threads/bishop-williamson-dislodged-bishop-williamson.5725/ The fact we are having this conversation and you having to spend so much time trying to find a grain of something catholic from him proves the point we are making. Your trying to “patch up” a bishop instead of describing a wholesome bishop doing his duty as a Catholic bishop is the battle ground. Doing less seems to be the normalization of deviation for the false resistance so adamantly opposed to the Catholic faith. So john, you seem to be comfortable to have duplicit statements from a Catholic Bishop as ok and normal like Huge Akins only wanting to look at the “bad and dangerous” comments without addressing the encouraging and promoting of error present in the SAME sentence. Of course you already know this. You also accept the same duplicity from Fr. Chazal expressing himself in one transparent email as a sede-privationist to one audience and in a different non-transparent email to another as remote. Doesn't say much for these false resistance priests too does it? As another person pointed out, they are going to start losing a lot of credibility. Like the authors and implementers of the conciliar reform, Bishop Williamson knows well how to manipulate words and human emotions to suit his own agenda. On this occasion he directs the attention to a barrage of mixed comments to familiarize his followers to accept a double standard, according to his mind, without context or objectivity. So BW proves he orates different things, to different people, and different audiences. Just like Bishop Fellay is doing. See the conflict? It is Chaos Organized! So this dogging and propping up these false bishops in tradition does not serve the living God and His Church within this crisis. Instead, it adds more to the crisis. One cannot keep popping your head in and out like a jack in the box to quibble in dark glasses…when you like and don’t like to see the reality these bishops and priests in the Church are persecution Her by their novel independence trying to build a neo-tradition. Is this what you want? As another said, to say Bishop Williamson has not changed and pretending like you don't even notice when he told the world he has, repeatedly, is eerie.

Why do you act like those in the novus ordo doing the same for pope Francis. Constantly silent to the errors of what the pope says one day only to cherry pick when he says something orthodox the next. Are you telling us you accept this thus promoting modernism? Yes, sorry to tell you this this, John, but your way of trying to defend Bishop Williamson is ecumenical.5. “The practice which consists of only searching for traditional passages in the Magisterium (a kind of intellectual scanner which only detects traditional passages) is basically the same which supports ecumenism: to see only the good aspects of religions (so as to not risk harming an agreement which would favor reconciliation).“ (Full text can be found in this thread: thecatacombs.org/thread/548/on-duty-resisting-error “The Critical Ministry of the Society” (an article on the necessity of denouncing error) by Father François-Marie Chautard) Some important points to retain from Machabees' reply to John:
“Bishop Williamson says one thing one day and the opposite on the next.”
“I’m surprised you are treating Bishop Williamson like a little boy in your selected quotes. All catholics say those things. It is what else he says that is not catholic; already pointed out to you. Trying to white wash the bishop as you did here doesn’t help the Catholic State.”
“John, Bishop Fellay “cares” about souls too. So doesn’t pope Francis. So what’s your point? Because they say something orthodox every once and a while as throwing a bone to keep their docile followers happy? How is that catholic?”
“What remains for you and us john, is why is Bishop Williamson duplicit? The answer is simple when you see he wants to be a “conservative” and see things conservatively while putting up a camouflage of “tradition.””
“The fact we are having this conversation and you having to spend so much time trying to find a grain of something catholic from him proves the point we are making. Your trying to “patch up” a bishop instead of describing a wholesome bishop doing his duty as a Catholic bishop is the battle ground”
“So john, you seem to be comfortable to have duplicit statements from a Catholic Bishop as ok and normal …”
“Like the authors and implementers of the conciliar reform, Bishop Williamson knows well how to manipulate words and human emotions to suit his own agenda. On this occasion he directs the attention to a barrage of mixed comments to familiarize his followers to accept a double standard, according to his mind, without context or objectivity.”

Dear friend,
The quotes I mentionned above don't set the bishop against the bishop.They are rather the undeniable proof that you twist some statements of Bishop Williamson as you like to justify your erroneous position. To say that there is no faithful bishop left, to say that there is only two Catholics priests (Father Pfeiffer, Father Hewko) left in the whole world, to say that we can build a seminary without a bishop etc, it's sheer nonsense ! And that's also a denial of the indefectibility of the Church.
The good bishop is not a pertinacious and "duplicititist" modernist, he is a sincere and faithful Catholic bishop. I listened to the sermons he gave recently and it's clear amd obvious that the accusations made against him are VERY false. I gave you all the proofs you need to recongnize the honesty and sincerity of Bishop Williamson. May God give you the graces needed to come back to the good bishop as a docile child. We should all be extremely grateful to Bishop Williamson because without bishops, the true Faith and the true Church would disappear.
If you are not yet persuaded by my arguments, you can watch this interview given by Bishop Williamson in 2017 and see for yourself :
Here is the link to the sermon given by Bishop Williamson in Father Pivert's chapel (in French). You can read it in English with Google Translate.

John, It is noticed you are not answering questions but continue to wade Cinderella type attributes on bishop Williamson with a devotion amiss from a basic Catholic understanding to these fundamental questions. You can say he is not duplicit all day and make it normal vocabulary for you, that's what the neo-sspx people say when given the very duplicit texts of Bishop Fellay. We cannot help you but give you ALL the very quotes of BW you are turning a blind eye to. That's your free will.
We really wish you would stay with one topic and find a conclusion with it to move on to the next. It would be reasonable and logical to arrive as some understanding and common good of the Church to navigate what these bishops are distinctly causing in weekly confusion. Introducing as you are another non sequitur argument with a "denial of indefectibility of the Church" is way out in left field.
The bishops are legitimate as the pope is. It is their clear infidelity that is in question (like it was for Caiaphas and Aaron, Saul, and King David), which has nothing to do with the "indefectability" of the Church. I may ask you to reconsider your understanding on what the rule of faith is for a Catholic. The genesis of the Catholic Catechism defines clearly it is based on the faith - the Revelation of God - independent of others opinions or existence. It is NOT based on authority or the Magisterium you have been injecting. Authority and the working Magesterium are only attributes to the faith and are present as protectors and guardrails for the faith. Popes and Bishops were created only to: Teach, Govern, and to Sanctify those entrusted to them - period. That task is their stewardship they must be FAITHFUL to for their own salvation. The same goes for Bishop Fellay and the false resistance bishops. Their duty is one of stewardship; not one of hording and channeling a different profession of Faith into a convenient tool for their own ends.
To your comment: When these or any bishops or popes die, move on, or whatever, means nothing to a Catholic. The Church continues... Continuity is based on the Four Marks of the Church: One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolate. These priests, bishops and popes ordination or consecrations is only their vocation to protect and promote the faith; that is their only job. So the entire world of human life can blow up with one surviving faithful Catholic layperson and the Church continues in the Four Marks. It is the Faith that is the rule of indefectability; not a sinner dressed in a cassock mocking God. Ask the Japaneses people going through 300 years of an eclipse for them. Only the Faith is pleasing to God; nothing else.
Regarding those two priests (Frs. Hewko Pfeiffer) your group seems to personalize ad nauseam, they are nothing, and who cares how feeble they are. It proves the power of grace through weak vessels all the more. It is the objectivity they maintain in their Catholic priesthood continuing exactly the same path as they were ordained and trained providentially by Archbishop Lefebvre within the SSPX. They continue in the SAME mission of building and preaching the faith. What you are not addressing John is the change of Bishop Williamson he had repeatedly stated to the world he left the path, doctrine, consecration, and structure of the Church from his founder ABL and you are mad at those two priests, and us, for not changing with him. It will not happen; ever!
I find it ironic you try to hold BW as some magnificent prelate and doctrinal pillar but not have the same courtesy to see other Catholic priests standout in their doctrine and practice of the faith uncompomised but to call it down to proffer up another. Is the Church divided and at war with Herself? Seems that is how the false resistance pits the Church and Her perennial expressions as meaningless against the modern revolution of Bishop Williamson fostering to go into the back door of Vatican II while Bishop Fellay is going into the front door.
History is short and is in the Hand of God. The documented proof is Bishop Williamson was the one who made war with Tradition at the end of 2012 starting in his Eleison Comments, and perpetuated ever since, going independent away from his consecration as Bishop Fellay has done in another front.
So which side of history will you be on in the end?

3 - Bishop Williamson doesn't promote vocations in his sermons
False. Bishop Williamson visited Father Pivert on July 2017 and during his sermon, he encouraged vocations and he praised religious life. Here is an excerpt of what he said (I encourage you to read the whole sermon. It is in French but you can translate it in English with Google Translate).
"So, my dear friends, let us learn to live with God, let us follow a religious vocation - if God call us. It's possible even today. The world does not succeed in stifling God. He does his best, he succeeds with too many people, but he who wants God, it is impossible for God to abandon him." (Mgr Williamson : le monde ne réussit pas à étouffer le Bon Dieu, 4 juillet 2017)
Are you kidding? That sermon was pointed to some existing seminarians. One receiving the habit and two receiving minor orders. Talk about a far stretch of the imagination saying B.Williamson is calling for a revival of vocations outside that venue by the one statement. It was melancholic at best. As usual!

Looks like john is here just to push B.Williamson's un-discerned stuff. Where are the other bishops to speak out against his modern views? Bishops Faure - Aquinas - Zendejas

John what part of B.Williamson's statements have you not understood is a clear contradiction? Do you actually agree what he is saying?

Understanding Bishop Williamson is much like understanding the sixteen documents of Vatican II.
Both are sandwiched with lots of Catholic thought and teaching. But buried in there are errors and - in the case of Vatican II - heresies.
No one denies that Bishop Williamson can and has said very, very traditional and Catholic things. That's not the problem. Its the uncorrected/unretracted errors that are the problem. Machabees has, for several years now, done an excellent job pointing these out and always directly quoting the Bishop. No opinion pieces, no personal interpretations...direct quotes.
And yes, we can all quote mine to find very traditional-sounding quotes from Bishop Williamson. That is not the issue. That he stands by his errors is the issue.
Imagine the strength of a unified resistance under a Bishop Williamson, who acted like a St. Athanasius. Who combated the errors of the Conciliar Church [and now, the conciliar SSPX], who didn't hold conferences on Wagner and Shakespeare but constantly and without ceasing, fought for Our Lord and His Church. The Resistance would decimate what the SSPX is doing. It would pick up the cross abandoned by the Society and keep trudging up the hill to Calvary in combating the errors of modernism both within and without the Church. People would flock to the fight. But instead Bishop Williamson rests on his old laurels and encourages people to stay where they are, decries the end of the world and that the sky is falling and that's it. He sows trad-ecumenism everywhere he goes, 'I'm ok, you're ok, we are all ok' - allowing all sorts of errors to creep into tradition.
They say you get the priests you deserve. Apparently we do not deserve a St. Athanasius as a bishop!
May Our Lady help Bishop Williamson see the harm he is doing.

This discussion with John is going nowhere. John needs to address the errors of Bishop Williamson if he wants to talk seriously. He is purposefully ignoring them. This isn't honest.
