But also because Absolution comes from the Bishop as successor of the Apostles, without his permission no priest can absolve in his diocese validly without his authority.Fr Ray Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05584140126211527252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-92053955807256447302012-05-29T15:57:21.412+01:002012-05-29T15:57:21.412+01:00Father,

I always knew that the adherents of +Williamson would never come over. How sad!<br />I know that this separation has not yet happened but if the reconciliation with +Fellay comes about, then it will.<br />I am always minded of the saying "Half a loaf is better than no bread".<br />Most would regard +Williamson as "rather eccentric" and so he is, despite his obvious talents. I have heard him preach and what he said then, was totally in accord with authentic Catholicism. However, I have not heard him proclaim his clearly eccentric, views so that is no recomendation.<br />He has many talents, but submission to authority is clearly not one of them.JARayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18138004129894177863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-42777801335984446912012-05-24T10:13:07.090+01:002012-05-24T10:13:07.090+01:00Well, in the UK the property is owned by a Charita...Well, in the UK the property is owned by a Charitable Trust.

Yet in every thing he says there is at least one nugget of profound wisdom.<br />What is so impressive about him is that he compromises where necessary but on the essentials he resists the siren calls of those who claim ownership of the truth and keeps his course straight.<br />I think this is what Bishop Fellay grasps and I pray both he and the Pope will succeed in bringing the bulk of the SSPX back into full communion.<br />It was Cardinal Heenan who remarked wryly that in the aftermath of Vatican II everyone had become infallible, except the pope.georgemnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-3129449968320338872012-05-24T07:54:25.909+01:002012-05-24T07:54:25.909+01:00Yes, wonderful words father but what is behind the...Yes, wonderful words father but what is behind them? They could be interpreted as implying that recent popes (Paul VI, Blessed JP II) have strayed from this position. This, after all, is what SSPX have been saying for decades. I pray for reconciliation but it's clear that behind the scenes this is a messy business and that SSPX is heading for some degree of fragmentation. And, yes, Bishop Fellay has the property.Amfortashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07580253432208073322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-10685703924894094952012-05-24T01:33:54.504+01:002012-05-24T01:33:54.504+01:00His Excellency Bishop Williamson will not take any...His Excellency Bishop Williamson will not take any property with him other than his vestments.<br /><br />We have offered him residence and will protect him as Cristeros protect all Bishops and Priests.<br /><br />Quickly, he will have a Seminary built as his residence, and the formation of Priests will continue.<br /><br />Here is a sermon that explains what many SSPX Priests opinion, even those that were strictly obedient to Bishop Fellay until recently:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXwBxgjxMmA<br /><br />Adultery for a Priest is communion and cohabitation of Truth and error in the mind.<br /><br />No legitimate 'babies' can be born of this; the growth of the Faith is dead.<br /><br />The babies that are born of that union are bastards.<br /><br />Truth and Error results in no potency to have legitimate 'babies' (Faithful Catholics).<br /><br />Bastards without Faith, they will be heretics.<br /><br />They are called Catholics, but their Faith is dead, and they do not want to know what real Catholicism is.<br /><br />They want their processions, prayers, devotions, and social events while receiving sacraments, but they do not have the Faith.<br /><br />A bastard is the result of the adultery when you have a 'baby' from this Priestly adultery.<br /><br />For this reason so many Catholics no longer obey Holy Mother Church.<br /><br /><br /><br />*Pablo the Mexicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09384415590309803327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-58066570901295537592012-05-23T22:23:00.037+01:002012-05-23T22:23:00.037+01:00FJH,

On the contrary, the pope's ministry is a guarantee of obedience to Christ and his Word. The Pope must not proclaim his own ideas, but bind himself constantly and bind the Church to obedience to the Word of God, in face of attempts to adapt and water down, as well as in the face of all opportunism. ...In his important decisions, the Pope is conscious of being linked to the great community of faith of all times, to binding interpretations developed through the Church's journey of pilgrimage. Thus, his power is not above all, but at the service of the Word of God, and on him weighs the responsibility to ensure that this word continues to be present in its grandeur and resonating in its purity, so that it will not be shattered with the constant changes of fashion."<br /><br />These words were uttered, in the literal sense of the phrase, ex cathedra.

So the chapel will go with the board of the association. Methink we'll see pro-Fellay priests kicked out of chapels where the board is pro-Williamson and vice-versa.<br /><br />+ PAX et BONUMHenrinoreply@blogger.com
