Commonweal on the SSPX statement

Grant Gallicho is right on the money here.

Shrewd move, as far as it goes. I would have preferred something stronger (”ill-advised” doesn’t begin to describe what Williamson spews), sooner (why did it take so long for Fellay to publicly condemn Williamson’s unhinged views about the Shoah when he has been repeating them for years?), and less, well, huffy (yes, yes, you’re respected the world over, but why not name the Jewish people in your apology to the pope and to “all people of good will”?).


I do think that the Superior could've chosen to say nothing. Grant is just as suspicious as I am about where the impetus for the apology really began though.
