Spiegel today has an article on the Lefebvrite Bishop Williamson who shows no indication that he is either going to disappear from sightand hearing or to change his views on the Holocaust. An interesting point in the piece is the fear that if the Society of Pius X is reconciled to Rome, Williamson might lead a group of Lefebvrites into schism. That a split would occur in the ranks of the Lefebvrites is apparent from websites such as these:http://www.novusordowatch.org/quo_vadis_sspx.htmhttp://www.traditioninaction.org/HotTopics/f029ht_SSPXRanks.htmhttp://www.traditioninaction.org/HotTopics/f030ht_OpenLetterSSPX.htmAnd you thought The Wanderer represents the right wing in the Church!

Rev. Joseph A. Komonchak, professor emeritus of the School of Theology and Religious Studies at the Catholic University of America, is a retired priest of the Archdiocese of New York.
