The now fairly infamous Bishop Williamson of the SSPX has, at the direction of Bishop Fellay, has been removed from his position as director of the Seminary of La Reja.
This is welcome news. The other day I criticized Bishop Fellay for not acting on distancing the Society from Williamson sooner, more to the point, before the lifting of the excommunications.
They should have done it then but they must do it now. Do the right thing and you will save the Society, save the Pope, and perhaps even save Williamson. Even if it saves no one, it is the right thing to do. Williamson has no business in any leadership position going forward.
Well, it seems that Bishop Fellay had already recognized the necessity of removing Williamson from a leadership position. I am very encouraged by much of what Bishop Fellay has done recently. I truly believe that reconciliation is his number one priority.
I will note that every time that I have written here urging the SSPX to distance itself from Williamson (starting almost 2 years ago), I have been roundly criticized in the combox by many. I wonder how many people who said that I was bending to the liberal media (even though I said it before the media had even heard of Williamson) or that my suggestion was “totally inappropriate” or even accused me (totally without merit) that I wanted the excommunication re-imposed. Silly all of it. What I suggested then was that he be removed from any leadership position. I wonder what the breathless commenters will say now that it seems Bishop Fellay agrees?

Dear david L. Alexander
I believe you are avoiding the core issue, that is “you has the right to your opinions” however your opinions must be the right ones: The number are 6.000.000 or you are out.
Think about that: Bishop Williamson does not believe in 100.000.000 victims of comunism He personaly believe just 50.000.000. Do you really think that somebody in the entire world would request Bishop Williamson recant?
The real problem is that Rome is under sionist control both ideological and economics.

“The real problem is that Rome is under sionist control both ideological and economics.”
That, and your vivid imagination.
Roberto, I have not missed a thing. An “opinion” can be a matter of conjecture, and can be right or wrong. A “fact” is objective and exists on its own. It is either true or not true, regardless of one wishes.
Stop making up conspiracy theories that you cannot prove. THAT is merely an opinion. Until you prove it, it is the wrong one.

David,
6.000.000 jewish died:
1)It is a fact no dout?
2)It is a new Catholic dogma?
3)It is a historical issue as Hiroshima o Nagasaki?
4)Is a jus a number and the actual number is 300.000 or what else?
5)Is the total number of WWII casualties?
What is the magic number of 6.000.00 wich causes Bishop Williamson disgraced?
Give me a good answer David Alexander please.

No offense, Roberto, but you need to get a better command of the English language before this can continue, because you don’t make a damn bit of sense. What little I can gather, is that you think I’m denying historical facts about the Holocaust. Let me make this plain: I AM NOT DENYING THE HOLOCAUST!!!
Other than that, this is as good as it gets.
