BISHOP
WILLIAMSON CONFERENCES – n°2

Given that Protestantism,
Liberalism, Modernism and Neo-Modernism are all parallel, one piles on top of
the other, and Modernism contains all of Liberalism and all of Protestantism, Pius
X said that Modernism is the main sewer collecting the muck from all other
sewers. It’s the main sewer of heresies,
because it’s the disconnecting of the mind from reality and so it disconnects
the Catholic mind from all Catholic doctrine.
There’s not a single heresy that is not at home in Modernism. It includes all the heresies.
Neo-Modernism is the rerun of
Modernism, only the difference is that Modernism is now official. It’s Modernism made official. It’s Modernism that’s not only just a few
priests and a few laymen, smart and very dangerous men, but not large in numbers,
whereas with Neo-Modernism practically the whole Church has given in. There are scattered priests and a couple of
bishops that stand out - Bishop de Castro Mayer and Archbishop Lefebvre - but
the whole Church, the Pope, the cardinals, the bishops, the mass of priests,
they all follow. The result is that only
now Archbishop Lefebvre and Bishop de Castro Mayer, two bishops, hang tight and
hold on. Undoubtedly there are other
bishops that keep the Faith, but there aren’t other bishops that act on the
Faith they’re keeping. Cardinal Siri was
good. He may well have been elected pope
in 1958 and/or 1963, but the bad guys, the Freemasons and the Jews, put
tremendous pressure. They said that they’d
kill all his family or they threatened his family, and he said, “OK, I don’t
want to be pope.” I think he was elected
but he didn’t want to be Pope. That
seems very possible.
The Archbishop creates the SSPX, and
Bishop de Castro Mayer comes along to help out for the consecration of the four
bishops. It was a great moment because
the Archbishop immensely appreciated Bishop de Castro Mayer coming along for
the consecrations and to help him consecrate, because he said, “The presence of
Bishop de Castro Mayer is the proof that I am not just spinning all of this out
of my own head. I’m not creating my own
Catholic Church. This is the Catholic
Church that I received, it’s the objective Catholic Church, and the fact that
Bishop de Castro Mayer comes along is the proof.” Bishop Castro Meyer, in a marvellous sermon
that he gave at the consecrations, said, “I would consider I was committing a
mortal sin if I was not here today.”
Brilliant.
The consecration of bishops was the
moment when the SSPX really went its own way, but it belongs to the
Church. The six bishops were all
“excommunicated”, but the excommunications weren’t real, because in canon law
even if you’re mistaken but you act thinking you’re doing it for a serious
need, the Church punishment does not apply.
If you’re mistaken but if you’re serious and sincere, even if you’re
deluded but you think you’re acting out of supreme need, the sanction doesn’t
apply, and therefore the excommunications were not real.
Well, guess what happens? Once again the SSPX has got a considerable
movement from inside it, coming down from the man at the top, pressurising to
go the same way. This is my
opinion. If any of you want to listen to
the opinion of any of those who are going this way, starting with Bishop
Fellay, you’re absolutely welcome, as far as I’m concerned. I would impose my opinion that this is what’s
going on, but I would impose my opinion on nobody. I give you my arguments why I think this is
what is happening, and then somebody else can give you the opposite argument. You’re adults, you’re men, you’re responsible
for your own souls, some of you also have a family you’re responsible for - you
make your own decision. Listen to both
sides of the question and make your own decision. I’m not imposing my opinion on anybody, and I
don’t want to speak disrespectfully of Bishop Fellay or of any of the
authorities of the Society in Menzingen, but I seriously think they’re
wrong. I think they’re gravely
wrong.
There is a straight line, and
Archbishop Lefebvre and Bishop de Castro Mayer were the only ones that really
held this line. The Archbishop said at
the consecrations that this line was Operation Survival and to make an
agreement with Neo-Modernist Rome would be Operation Suicide. The Church authorities, all of these
cardinals, bishops and priests that have given themselves over to Modernism, Liberalism
and Protestantism - in effect that’s what they’ve done, moving parallel to the
Modernists and liberals and Protestants - all of those cardinals, bishops and
priests are on the wrong track. They’ve
lost the plot. They’ve lost the Catholic
plot. The Archbishop said, “If we don’t
go along with Modernist Rome, Conciliar Rome, with Rome of the Council, with
all of these Conciliar Church authorities that believe in the Second Vatican
Council, if we don’t go along with them it’s Operation Survival. If we do go along with them it’s Operation
Suicide, because all of these are losing the plot.” They’re all moving. They’re breaking left from the straight
line.
What were the fruits? The fruits are a very good test. You may remember on the Sermon on the Mount
that Our Lord doesn’t say, “I want all of you sheep to be theologians. I want you to read the theological journals. I want you to study St Thomas Aquinas.” What does Our Lord say? He says, “Judge by the fruits. A good tree cannot bring forth bad fruit, and
a bad tree cannot bring forth good fruit.”
A tree that’s half bad and half good will bring half good and half bad
fruit, so it’s not always black or white.
There is grey. So what were the
fruits of the consecrations? The Society
expanded. Just like always, whenever the
popes and the, for example, Counter-Reformation, when they held to the Catholic
line the Church always began again to expand.
Then along came another round of corruption and another swing to the
left in modern times. That’s the way the
modern world is moulded. The modern
world is deeply moulded by Protestantism, the breaking away from God. It’s the great apostasy. It started with Protestantism, or you could
say with the humanist Renaissance before Protestantism. The Renaissance, the Reformation, the
Revolution - the three Rs. It’s breaking
away from the Church. It’s breaking away
from God. It’s the great movement of
apostasy. So what’s happened in the
mainstream Church since then is more and more apostasy, with obviously some
noble exceptions and some souls breaking away.
When souls want to be Catholic in the Conciliar Church, what do they
do? They break away to the SSPX. Up till now they’ve been able to find in the
SSPX a refuge from the Conciliar nonsense.
The fruits of the SSPX were Catholicism.
The ongoing fruits of the Council were more and more corruption and
destruction of the Church.
I think Malachi Martin used to say that
there are four Masonic lodges inside the Vatican, and Fr du Chalard said the
same thing, so there’s reason for saying that.
Malachi Martin said that in 1963, soon after Paul VI became pope, there
was a Satanic ceremony celebrated inside the Vatican. The big ceremony was in Charleston in the
United States, which is a big Masonic centre, but there was a branch office of
this ceremony, an offshoot of the ceremony, a little representative office
inside the Vatican. So the great
ceremony with blasphemies and horrors, undoubtedly, was celebrated in the
United States, but there was a little representation inside the Vatican, and
that established a lodge inside the Vatican, one of the four. Malachi Martin used to say, as best I recall,
that Pope Paul VI knew about it but could do nothing about it, which kind of
makes sense. That’s the state of the
Vatican. It’s full of devils. The Vatican today is full of devils. It’s Satanised, and if you get too close you
could catch it. You mustn’t get too
close to Modern Rome.
I’ve written several times over the
last 20, 30 years about the Sunday Catholicism of the Catholics of the
1950s. There was too much Sunday
Catholicism - in other words, Catholics who were Catholics only on Sunday. They had their religion for Sunday, and then
the rest of the week they lived their ordinary lives, not sufficiently heeding their
religion. Separation of life and
religion - God kicked upstairs, very pious on Sunday and then you don’t care
about it for the rest of the week. That’s one name of the disease - Sunday
Catholicism. I call it ‘50s-ism. There was something seriously wrong. It looked good. It was big, it was numerous and it was broad. There were a lot of decent-looking priests,
decent-behaving priests and decent-believing priests. There were a lot of sisters, a lot of parish
schools, a lot of seminaries, a lot of seminarians, and then the Council began
and the whole thing collapsed. The
termites were in the woodwork. There was
something seriously wrong.
The Council was a great fall. A great fall means two things. One, you were at a great height. If you weren’t at a great height you can’t be
a great fall. Two, you were on the edge
of the abyss and you went over the edge.
On the one hand, there was something good in the Catholicism of the
1950s. On the other hand, there was
something rotten in the state of Denmark at the same time. There was something rotten in it, and
therefore this whole thing, which looked so good and was in many ways still
good, but the heart of it wasn’t there and so it went down the tubes and it
fell.
During the 1990s the Society
flourished and grew, and the mainstream Church just went its own wretched way -
more and more destruction of the Church, more and more immorality, the
paedophilia and the homosexuality amongst the clergy. Of course, the media are in a real bind
because the media are promoting homosexuality – “It’s an alternative
lifestyle. There’s nothing really wrong
with it.” On the other hand, they want
to be able to accuse the priests of being homosexuals, but take your pick. If homosexuality is not so bad then it’s not
so bad in the clergy. If it’s bad in the
clergy then it’s bad in everybody else.
So the vile media found a trick – “This is not homosexuality. This is paedophilia.” Paedophilia is molesting children. Molesting children is horrific, but in many
cases probably the homosexual abuse amongst the clergy rather involved adolescents
than children. I don't know. I’ve not gone into it. I’ve not studied it. I just don’t believe it’s entirely as the
media tell. It’s not justified whether
it’s amongst adolescents or amongst children.
It’s one of the four sins that cries to God for vengeance -
homosexuality.
It goes back to the 1980s. It’s been in the clergy for a long time. I can remember when I arrived in the United
States in 1982, soon after I found this big volume by Fr Enrique Rueda on the
homosexual network inside the Catholic Church in the United States. That’s 1982.
It’s not recent. I know that Archbishop
Lefebvre would have said that the reason why the clergy fall for this, the
reason why they get into this is because they’ve lost their Mass. They’ve no longer got the proper Mass to
celebrate. It’s like a nuclear reactor
without uranium. The Catholic priest is
made for the true Mass. The Mass and
priest go together. This is what
Archbishop Lefebvre used to say. The
true Mass and the true priest go absolutely together. You take away the true Mass and the true
priest is all at sea. He would have pinned
the responsibility, I’m quite sure, on the loss of the Mass, the taking out of
the priest the heart of his priestly life.
If you judge by the fruits, the
Archbishop was right, the consecrations were right, and the Conciliar Church
continues to be wrong. That’s why the
SSPX expanded. Well, what do you think
the Devil is going to do? It’s worked
four times. He’s going to play the same
tricks with people’s minds, with Catholics’ minds. The particular pressure he’s going to bring
on now, that’s a pressure that he hasn’t been able to bring on before - “You’ve
got to belong to the mainstream Church.
You’re outside the Church.” Judging
by the fruits, that’s not true. Judged
by the fruits, the Council is not the Catholic Church. The Conciliar Church, judged by the fruits,
is not the Catholic Church. The SSPX,
judged by the fruits, is the Catholic Church, and that’s exactly what Archbishop
Lefebvre said. A question is, “Wouldn’t
the SSPX have been able to do more if it went back into the mainstream
Church?” And the Archbishop answers,
“What Church are we talking about? If
you’re talking about the Conciliar Church, that’s not the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church is One, Holy, Catholic
and Apostolic.” He goes through those
four points and says, “Look, the Conciliar Church, it’s not One, it’s not Holy,
it’s not Catholic and it’s not Apostolic.
On all those four points the SSPX is.”
Those are the four marks of the Church.
They are the four indicators of where you have the Catholic Church. Where those marks are present, you have the
Catholic Church. Where they’re not
present, you don’t have the Catholic Church.
Therefore this was the Catholic Church in a sense in which this
definitely wasn’t. This has the
authority. The Pope is Pope. This is a difficult question. The Pope is Pope, the cardinals are cardinals,
and the bishops are bishops, unless one or the other, or even maybe several,
went through an invalid consecration ceremony as bishop. That’s another can of worms. The modern situation is full of cans of
worms. It’s all worms. The situation is terrible.
The Devil is now playing games with
the minds of the SSPX, and you’ve got a lot of priests, in my opinion, that
want to go with the Conciliar Church.
They’re wanting to go in that direction.
Already you have the authorities inside the SSPX discouraging any
criticism of the Council, discouraging speaking against Assisi, and
discouraging or forbidding speaking against the Pope. That’s the way it’s going. When you see 500 years, 1517 to 2012, nearly
500 years, when you look at 500 years I think the pattern is clear. Let’s assume that this is the case, and let’s
assume that the bulk of the SSPX may go that way. How many of the SSPX are tending to go that
way, how many will go that way? I don't
know. God knows. I don’t.
The terrible thing is that given a few more years and once again the
same thing is going to happen again. It’s
just built into the woodwork. It’s a
pattern which is there for very good reason, because when the Devil tries to
trick once or three times and four times and it works, he’s going to come back
again. Exactly the same forces that
produced the ‘50s-ism, exactly the same temptation, are bearing even more on
the Traditional Catholics of the SSPX.
I remember reading in some spiritual
writing of a vision of some soul. There
was a town and then there was a monastery.
There were just a few devils hanging over the town, but there was a
crowd of devils over the top of the monastery, because if they could get the
monastery to fall, the rest of the town was child’s play. The monastery was upholding the Faith in the
town. These souls, acting like a
lightning conductor for God’s anger, were protecting the town, so the Devil was
working especially on the monastery and the priests. The Devil still had quite a lot of clergy to
work on at this point of time, but at this point in time he’s got far fewer
clergy to work on. There are about 550
priests in the SSPX, so there are a lot more unemployed devils because all of
this is now in the Devil’s hands, so there’s a lot of unemployed devils after
Vatican II that come piling on to a few priests of the SSPX. It’s only my opinion.
How is it going to develop? I don't know.
Then there’ll be a break again.
It’s going to get smaller and smaller all the time. At the end of the world, Our Lord says - this
is St Luke 18 verse 8 - “When I come back, shall I find the Faith upon the
Earth?” That’s a quotation that means
that the Catholic Church at the very end of the world is going to be very
reduced in numbers. That’s exactly what
we’re watching today - the diminishing and reduction in numbers of the
Catholics that are holding the course, that are holding straight and that are
not tempted to join the world and take the easy way.
Also the quote about in those days even
the elect will be deceived.
Yes, exactly. “If it were possible even the elect would be
lost,” something like that. Yes, that’s
it. It’s an operation of error; it’s an
operation of deceit, according to St Paul in Thessalonians. That’s an exact phrase for the media. The vile media are an operation of error,
exactly what St Paul says. People pay
too much attention to the vile media.
God bless the Internet in that respect.
The bad guys have not yet got hold of the Internet, and anyone who’s
looking for truth can still find truth on the Internet amidst a pile of muck,
amidst a pile of lies, but the truth is there.
If you’re looking for it, you can find it, and if you’re looking for the
truth you will find it. You will hardly
find it in the media any longer. The bad guys have got a stranglehold on the
media, and that’s why they’re vile, because the bad guys are vile. They really hate God and they want to get
every soul to fall into hell. That’s
what they’re about.
Don’t think whatever comes out of
this trial of the SSPX that the troubles are over. The Devil will get back to work. Every time the Catholic Church got its act
together, the Devil began to work at it again, and the Council was the greatest
triumph of all time against the Church.
