Bishop Williamson allegedly criticises Motu Proprio.
The majority of the Lefebvristes are against an agreement with the Pope. So said Richard Williamson, the controversial bishop of the SSPX. As the Italian daily La Stampa quoted him, the recent motu proprio is a 'poisoned cake ". The declaration of the Pope should be thrown in the bin, according tp Williamson. - On Wednesday, Pope Benedict XVI had prohibited further acts of the SSPX such as the ordinations to the priesthood in Zaitzkofen. In the letter, the Pope united the "Ecclesia Dei" Commission, who is responsible for the SSPX, to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. With the new papal decree Benedict XVI has created the canon law structure for SSPX dialogue with the Vatican. The motu proprio of the Pope is entitled with his Latin words which begin the document "Ecclesiae unitatem "(The Unity of the Church).

The founder of the Legionaries of Christ, Fr Marcial Maciel, molested his seminarians, so the Pope should have all of its 800 priests locked up in the Vatican dungeon. The logic is quite irrefutable.
Scott:
Yes, as soon as the FSSPX are regularized, along with around 50% of the worlds episcopate, who are even more obstinate and belligerent, and outright disobedient and heretical.
Give us a break, and get lost.
A raging heretic like Cardinal Roger Mahony and a flaming homo like retired Archbishop Rembert “I didn’t know nailing young boys was a crime” Weakland are considered in “full communion” with Rome. Yet, the SSPX, who upholds every single doctrine of Holy Mother Church, and believes as every Catholic (and Pope) around the world did up until 1965, are somehow still not in “full communion” with the Church.
Makes one say, “WTF, over!”
