Sean, Your literacy is noted! A question of personal interest, devoid of any underlying motive other than the origin of names, Sean of course is Irish/Gaelic for John. Johnson on the other hand is an English or Scottish name. You yourself live in America, thus my interest is peeked as to where your family originated from in the UK/Ireland? Of course, it really none of my business, so if decide not to divulge such information, no problem!

@Sean Johnson> That is you interpretation. To clarify, my reference to Williamson's Anti-Semitic position was the inappropriateness of uttering his position unwisely to the media thus creating 'scandal' for both the SSPX and the wider Church. Being outside of the Church is related to one being Sede vacantist. Denial of that being Williamson's position is contrary to his behavior. He was expelled from the SSPX, thus, he is not aligned with any other recognised church body of Priests, and he openly denies the legitimacy of Pope Francis Papacy, that makes him a Sede. That being said, I have no more time for Pope Francis and his regime than other like minded Catholics. The Church in its history, has experienced a number of 'dysfunctional' Popes, Francis, in my humble opinion, is one of them, but unless he is found guilty, by the appropriate Church body, of open heresy, he remains as our legitimate Pope. Trust that makes my position clearer.

God protect us from such an apostate. The damage Williamson and his cronies did in Ireland makes me angry to even think about it. Up until now I have avoided commenting. on the subject beyond a few curt remarks. For your education, Williamson has placed himself outside of the church. Period! He is an Anti-Semitic, Holocaust denier, who appears to have no idea of the divisive side of his nature which caused harm to a number of families in Ireland. Beyond that, I will say no more. It is clear to me that you are a follower of his, that being the case, any advice from me or any one else, would not be solicited by you, so, I wish you well, and please keep in mind that the Catholic Church is still in existence and will be so, till the end of time.
