Does Williamson speak French?

I would imagine so, however, how would this allow Fr. Aulagnier to keep an eye on him and his activities within a predominately English-speaking continent? Hence I must disabuse UR of his thought that Aulagnier was sent across the Atlantic to keep tabs on Williamson.

Additionally, unless we see a reversal in Aulagnier's fortunes, I doubt very much we will ever see the SSPX reconcile. This is just, in my opinion, the latest example of Fellay and the SSPX capitulating to hard-liners like Williamson. This is not surprising, given that Fellay's election as Superior General shortly after Lefebvre's death came about as a capitulation of Lefebvre's prohibition against a bishop assuming the Superior General's office within the SSPX, and establishing their own marriage tribunals present another capitulation. Unfortunately, the SSPX's followers will continue to buy into it as the SSPX hierarchy alleges the "state-of-neccessity" to justify one capitulation after another.

Perhaps he was sent to minister to him and bring him over to the reconciliation with Rome camp?

Hence I must disabuse UR of his thought that Aulagnier was sent across the Atlantic to keep tabs on Williamson.

I would like to believe this is the case but I really don't know. As far as the SSPX goes, I'm an outsider looking in. Maybe I'm just being optimistic.
