"Calls the shots" is what you mean. The Holy Father may want to speed things up because Fellay's term runs out in 2006 and Williamson may end up being the Superior.

Yep.

Which is why he was sent to Argentina, at the bottom end of South America. To prepare him for his stint as the next superior. Good call.

The SSPX mainstream recognize him for what he is. A loose cannon. Ironic really. We have the supposedly excitable French talking in calm and reasoned language while the supposedly urbane Englishman continues to churn out the inflammatory rhetoric. What was it you said again? "Good cop, bad cop"? That's a keeper. I never realized Fellay and Williamson were a double act.

If Williamson is really going to be the Superior, then I'd think that it's SSPX which may want to "speed things up." There's no telling where Williamson would take your group.

As I suspected, your threat to abandon FR was short lived. Not much traffic over at Angelqueen, is there?

You mean to run a seminary in one of the larger Catholic populations of the world?

It's amazing how one letter from Williamson forced the Vatican to acknowledge the meeting. And of course he was really out of the way when he and Bishop Fellay both toured the U.S. over the last year.

No. That's just the spin machine from the Neo Catholics who are going nuts at the thought of the SSPX getting respect from a Pope. And it's also funny how suddenly there is a "SSPX Mainstream" it's the liberal idea of sowing discord.

Ironic really. We have the supposedly excitable French talking in calm and reasoned language while the supposedly urbane Englishman continues to churn out the inflammatory rhetoric.

Again comes the liberal neo attempt to set up "factions" in the SSPX.

What was it you said again? "Good cop, bad cop"? That's a keeper. I never realized Fellay and Williamson were a double act.

You never realized? That's why I'm here. To clear the confusion. Fellay and Williamson were together less than a week ago in Fatima with the other two bishops. Some factions. They were both being publicly abused by the Fatima staff of kooks and nutcases. They know who the real enemies are. You can buy into the "factions" fiction if you want. I'm actually being a bit of a spoiler by letting it out.

If Williamson is really going to be the Superior, then I'd think that it's SSPX which may want to "speed things up." There's no telling where Williamson would take your group.

Williamson is brilliant, charitable and saintly. Hopefully the situation will be resolved and Williamson will be available papabile for the next conclave.

I don't want to give up on you. It's a trait I share with St. Francis of Assisi. And there's plenty of traffic over there. Less confusion about Catholicism though.
