MithLuin Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 Yes, I agree that Superior General counts for something. I guess I was just thinking that it's a bit of a delicate situation for a Superior General to discipline a fellow bishop. Not that religious orders don't have to deal with similar situations from time to time. (Archbishop Chaput of Denver and Cardinal O'Malley of Boston are both Capuchin Franciscans, for instance.) I guess I'm hoping that [i]all[/i] of the SSPX bishops can be in agreement over this, so the reunion can move forward. If Williamson (being a bishop) strikes out on his own, it will be the same issue as when Lefebvre consecrated bishops without permission, but with even less chance of reconciliation, probably. Prayers for everyone involved!
