Another Fake Resistance Bishop

[TheRecusant.com]

With so many doubtful consecrations, it would have been nice to have some video of the ceremony to be released at this point.

Not that I think that Bishop Williamson didn't correctly consecrate Fr. Ballini. But it sets a perhaps dangerous precedent. One that may not produce much good fruit with so many doubtful clergy wandering around. It may only encourage more and more clandestine ordinations and consecrations which may leave doubts in the minds of many laity.

Hopefully a video will be forthcoming.

Fr. Ballini's dream finally came true. Just like Fr. Pfeiffer, he had wanted to become bishop one day.

I sincerely hope that isn't true. Imagine *wanting* such a thing! Raising the stakes so dramatically, ensuring that when you die you have a far greater responsibility to answer for and a much harsher judgement than you would already have had, making it even harder for you to save your soul, ensuring in effect that every little fault and failing and sin on your part doubles, triples and quadruples its effects even further afield than when you were a priest, which is bad enough to begin with compared to a layman... I just can't imagine any Saint accepting such a thing without at least a certain degree of reluctance.
