Why do I like Bishop Williamson so much?

[Catholicmilkman]

I do take issue with his 9/11 conspiracies. I use to buy into that stuff when I was a liberal. It's a shame that so many right wingers have embraced the left's "Loose Change" propaganda.

What's the "loose change" propaganda? I thought he believes that the Zionist Jews caused 9-11.

"Sounds like you are describing our beloved Archbishop Burke. Now that's who we need."

Yes, we could benefit from Archbishop Burke. But we need Bishop Williamson a whole lot more.

Well then, we are going to have to agree to disagree, because to be up front and blunt, I couldn't disagree more.

"Well then, we are going to have to agree to disagree..."

Fair enough.

I couldn't listen to more than 20 seconds of that video. He's too intellectual for me. I'm very emotional.

I've never heard him say anything about Zionists. I do recall one of his letters implying that 9/11 was an inside job (American Zionists? ).

Loose Change is a documentary made by a couple of college kids. It was widespread among the left, who wanted to blame Bush for 9/11 and not the "innocent" Muslims. Now it's become popular among the far right. Many Trads (especially Sedevacantists) promote the documentary as well.

Listening to Bishop Williamson is like drinking 100-proof Scotch; you either like the bite, and appreciate the quality and flavor, or you don't. Some people prefer daiquiris. I will admit that he can be brusque and uncompromising. But the man is very well informed, and has a keen moral compass. I'd rather error on the side of his peculiarities than settle for milk-toast modernist bishops with nothing of value to say.

Agreed.  He's a kind of General Patton of Catholicism.

20 Seconds???  Hmmm,,, maybe it's a man thing.

I'm a fan of the Good Bishop. Like some of you are saying; I don't exactly agree with all of his thoughts and theories, but then again I don't think I really have to in order to still like him and also benefit deeply from his preaching. He certainly has a good grasp on what the real, traditional Catholic faith is. But he has an even better grasp and ability to frame what that Catholic faith means and is within the context of modern/modernist society. May he live a long, healthy and fruitful life of preaching the Gospel.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loose_Change_(video)[/QUOTE]I don't know anything about it but I think my SSPX chapel did have some of the faithful there showing a video like that or at least that's what my dad said. I personally believe Bush had something to do with it. His behavior that morning was just too stupid and suspicous to me. I don't know about the Left though because I believe the "Right" and the "Left" are two sides of the same coin. I want the "Middle" or rather Traditionalism or even better the Middle Ages.

Maybe it is. I'm not saying anything negative about him. I've heard him speak before and I don't understand him. He's just a very intellectual person, and I'm not.
