Using him as a whip to scourge traditionalism generally--as Sinspur does--is ridiculous. Why? You use Weakland to scourge the true Church, and Weakland's gone.
You should denounce Williamson, as many of us have denounced Weakland, and every other episcopal enabler of child abuse.
I knew an old monsignor in my early college days who I thought was a wonderful, spiritual man. He told me one day that the Jews were behind all the problems in the world.
I never saw God in him again.

Dear sinkspur,
More to the point, ultima accused us, you and me, of SLANDERING this sick puppy by quoting him. NOW he admits that the man is the SSPX "hairshirt". Why the original accusation of slander?
We were SLANDERING this character by quoting him!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

I use Weakland as an example of the PAPACY'S refusal to discipline bad bishops. He was symptomatic of a greater failing higher up. Besides, other than airing some rightwing views in a few letters, how does Williamson compare with Weakland who mocked the Catholic faith and pushed the gay agenda in defiance of even Vatican precepts? Williamson's Masses are above reproach. His dealings with others are friendly and considerate--anything but radical. His letters I read and then discard--that pretty much ends it.
