The four bishops that were consecrated have never been "regularized"/ "returned to modernist Rome.

[quote name='Extra ecclesiam nulla salus' date='Mar 26 2006, 01:25 PM']I support the SSPX, but im not "associated with them" anymore than i am "associated" with the FSSP or the Jesuits, or any other Fraternity, Society, or relegious order.

But yet, you are still in some way associated with them even if you just support them. What exactly do you mean that you support them. Do you think that the SSPX is in schism or not? Do you go to SSPX services? Do you donate money to the SSPX? How do you support them? Don't tell people that you are not in schism when it's pretty clear that you still are. It's kind of misleading. i pray that you some day return to Rome.

[quote]The Sound of Music

Bishop Williamson has frequently criticised The Sound of Music, arguing that far from constituting a wholesome family film, it is emblematic of the corrosion of Catholicism and Western culture in general. In a much-circulated letter of November 1997, he wrote: "The problem with The Sound of Music is that it is not just the innocent entertainment that it seems to be... all the elements of pornography are there, just waiting to break out... Dear friends, any supposed Catholicism in The Sound of Music is a Hollywood fraud corresponding to the real-life fraud of that "Catholicism" of the 1950's and 1960's, all appearance and no substance, which was just waiting to break out into Vatican II and the Newchurch. Right here is the mentality of sweet compassion for homosexuals and of bitter grief for Princess Di, of sympathy for priests quitting the SSPX for the Novus Ordo. Everything is man-centered and meant to feel good, the apostasy of our times." [25]

Williamson proposed that in place of watching The Sound of Music at Christmas, Catholics play games, talk, and read. Although he does not absolutely condemn the viewing of television, his analysis of The Sound of Music leads him to condemn it as unsuitable viewing material.

Williamson has used "Sound-of-Musicians" as a critical term for insufficiently traditional contemporary Catholics. Describing the state of modernity in April 1996, he wrote: "If only it was not so! If only I could be on good terms both with God and with the mainstream! How much easier life would be! What a nice picture! A huge speaker on each corner of my party-raft drifting downstream blasts out that the hills are alive with the sound of music — my friends and I smell an increasingly unpleasant stench of sewage in the water, and ahead of us, is that the thunder we hear of a great waterfall? My friends, turn up the speakers! Sprinkle more smell-killer! The party is to go on for ever!" [26]

At the end of a September 2003 letter penned on the occasion of his departure from the United States, Williamson attached a poem in which The Sound of Music is both criticised and, in its final line, quoted. The poem also provides a summary of Williamson's socio-economic teaching: [27]

Flee electronics. Stay with real life. / Give time, love and attention to your wife. / Forget "The Sound of Music", silly stuff / Of which the world has had more than enough. / So ends the last Newsletter I shall write. / Soon I must fly far south into the night. / Ah, my dear friends! - I feel like I could cry! / SO LONG! FAREWELL! AUF WIEDERSEHEN! GOOD-BYE!" [/quote]

That speaks volumes in more ways than one.
