Bishop Williamson- Rotten Apples

[B of Navarre]

Thank you, that gives me food for thought. What I don't like about the terminology is that is seems to assume or state that all people involved with the NO are formal heretics, and I disagree with that. And yet, the other Church is spelled with a capital "C" to indicate being a part of the True Church. It seems so confusing as to what is meant exactly. I am curious about how the Archbishop would have explained his use of two Churches, if it would have been along the lines of the Bishop's letter or not. I wonder why this terminology never trickled down into the SSPX a little more? Unless I haven't been paying as much attention as I thought I was, that's a possibility. I am more drawn to other topics.

No time to type much now, but just a few quick thoughts:

From all I've read of +AL & +BW (which is a lot), I don't think they think that or mean to imply it.  In fact, I'm sure if I dig around I could find quotes by them that show they don't.  Come to think of it, didn't one of +BW's recent "True Pope?" EC's say exactly the opposite about the Pope - that, while he may be a material heretic, he is not necessarily a formal heretic?  Anyway, I'm sure that neither +AL nor +BW thought/think that "all people involved with the NO are formal heretics." 

It seems so confusing as to what is meant exactly.

Yes, well it's partly confusing because it is!  (If you know what I mean.)  This is not an easy crisis in the Church to characterize.   Diabolical Disorientation about sums it up.

Last time I posted the above quotes by +AL, I think Nic? posted some info. from an SSPX website that explained how they look at it.  I don't have time to look for it at the moment, but if no one else does, I'll try to find it later.
