Bishop Williamson back in court, ordinations in any case
Prozess gegen Williamson, trotzdem Priesterweihen
On Monday, the appeal takes place against the Court of the First Instance sentence of Holocaust denier Richard Williamson, Bishop of the Society of St. Pius X. Two days earlier the Society in Zaitzkofen, where Williamson denied the Holocaust in front of the camera, will ordain four priests - against the express wishes of the Vatican.
On 4 July at 9 clock the appeal will be heard in the District Court in the trial of the member of the Society of St Pius X, Bishop Richard Williamson. He was convicted in April 2010 by the Court of the First Instance of denying the Holocaust in the Zaitzkofen Seminary of the arch-conservative Society. But two days before the trial, the Society will again openly provoke the Vatican, despite the request of the pope to no longer for the moment ordain priests by holding ordinations on 2 July in Zaitzkofen.
The Bishop of Regensburg has already described the most recent ordination as a "provocation". Two days before the renewedcourt proceedings which have caused an international sensation, probably the criticism of Pope Benedict and his efforts to reintegrate the Society into the Catholic Church will flare up again.

Obviously, the Vatican II ecumenism and Assisi Meetings haven't helped but increase the wrath of God.
Msgr. Lefebvre raised a seminary, with the appropriate approvals, but, because it was a success, the local ordinaries decided to attack Msgr. Lefebvre and the position escalated to that which is currrent.
The relationship between the Zaitkofen ordinations and +Williamson does not exist - he has been visited upon the UK, for our sins.
There exists within SSPX a 'Williamson' element which contained strains of an American over-the-top approach and set themselves up as little gods and demanding a subserviance redolent of the Scottish 'Wee Free' pastors on the basis of their own interpretation of Mother Church - which none have experienced pre-Vatican II.
The alternative to Zaitkofen, et al - Austria, et al? I personally know one bishop, ex rector of a seminary, who espoused non-belief in the ordained priesthood.
We are living in Alice-in-Wonderland times.
You really can't trust anything in the media. So many news outlets are just plain sloppy these days. Even the so-called "neo-con" ones like EWTN, which recently reported that the preamble given to the SSPX required them to submit to the "fundamental teachings of Vatican II".
