The
"vicious feverish fingers" strike again (off-site)
I wrote this in the last column: "Then on a liturgical note, I watched the midnight Mass from Rome. Most Catholics tune it in for a spell don't they ? Even sedes will do that so they can feast their eyes on any little aspect of liturgical "aberration" and report it on their blogs as fast as their vicious feverish fingers can type."
I never expected such an in-depth analysis to appear and with such vitriolic
wit ! If the Pope were to abolish Vatican II the sedes wouldn't accept
him as Pope even then ! It really shows (if you think about it)
how much they fear him ! With a dip of the miter to GW who gave
me the tip.

Fellay
nixes deal but remains "confident" (off-site) Confusing
to put it mildly ! If Fellay says "Nothing could be falser (...) Williamson and I are on the same line, that which believes that
we could hardly enter a Church as is."
Is this an admission that he and +W are schismatic (i.e. outside the
Church) ? 'Entering' by definition means being 'exterior' to something
! I never heard this before. Actually the Italian uses the expresssion
're-enter' !!!! "Niente di più falso - spiega in merito Fellay - io e Williamson siamo sulla stessa linea, quella che ritiene che
in una Chiesa siffatta noi difficilmente potremo
rientrare."
"Re-enter" means to have been in the Church and to
have left the Church !!! Remember this is a direct quotation
from Fellay's lips - WOW !!!!
