Reflections on Anti-Catholic Hatred following the Lifting of the Excommunications

God bless Pope Benedict for lifting the excommunications. God bless him also for refusing to cave in under extraordinary media pressure which sought to reverse this action. Yet this only underscores two points: 1) total ignorance of Church law, and more importantly: 2) the anti-Catholic nature of the anti-papal attacks. The Pope can no more re-excommunicate Bishop Williamson for his private opinion than he can "re-incommunicate" him if he re-examines the historical evidence. Will the media be now calling for the excommunication of Armenian and Ukrainian Holocaust deniers/negationists etc.? And let us not forget, this latter group contains legions of followers. 

With reference to Bishop Williamson, it is curious that the "freedom of speech" crowd (as no doubt they would be very proud of calling themselves) is denying the bishop his "freedom". Is one only free to express (indeed regurgitate) only what has been decreed permissible by powerful international forces - such as the "media"?

Nonetheless, God is drawing good out of evil, as 40 years of Vatican II "ecumenism" and "dialogue" has been exposed as a fraud. "Ecumenism" and "dialogue" have now been seen for what they are  conformity of the Church to the world and false religions - and not the conversion of , for example Jews to the one, true Faith. 

Alas, vitriolic Zionist hatred of the Catholic Church has been exposed. A search of the internet makes this very clear. Following closely - yet more insidiously - is the hatred of Catholic Tradition (in reality, Catholic Truth) by numerous materially heretical so-called Catholics who are raging against the lifting of the excommunications (many behind the facade of opposition to Bishop Williamson; as if his private opinions have any reflection on doctrine). 

Quite enlightening is the warped, unhinged approach of numerous nominal "Catholics" who wish Bishop Williamson be thrown out of the Church, yet cannot seem to raise themselves to call for the expulsion of priests and bishops who are teaching heresy. Surely denying the Divinity of Christ is infinitely worse than denying the Shoah? Surely rejecting Humanae Vitae is likewise infinitely worse - just look at the number of deaths by comparison! 

It is now imperative that indeed a true dialogue (St. Thomas More defined dialogue as "two friends who swear to each other to yield to the light and only the light") commence on the various questionable aspects of Vatican II. It should be re-emphasized that this Council was pastoral, that acceptance of a number of highly questionable doctrines be re-examined for the greater good of the entire Church. 

May God bless Pope Benedict. May God bless Bishop Fellay. And yes, may God bless Bishop Williamson, as well as those who hate the Catholic Church. May they, as Christ wishes be brought to the fullness of Catholic Truth.
