Letter from the Rector
Clarification of Misinformation
Dear Friends and Benefactors,
Instead of another issue of "Verbum", the Seminary is sending you this month the latest issue of the "Angelus", from Dickinson, Texas.
Besides, maybe enabling you to get to know this monthly magazine of the South-West District of the Society of St. Pius X in the USA, this issue in particular offers to its readers several articles which will be of special interest to you.
In addition to the picture story on "Our American Seminarians" and "Ridgefield Diary" which concerns your American Seminary directly, "A Interview with Father Schmidberger" and "News from St. Mary's" give you the opportunity to make the acquaintance of the future Superior General of the Society, upon whom so much depends.
Above all, "Clarification of Misinformation" on page 2 makes the public dispute between the Society and the nine priests who are no longer members, takes a great step forwards, by making material available to refute many of the untruths and misjudgments currently circulating. Our thanks and congratulations go to our colleagues in the South for all that is so useful in this article, and in this "Angelus".
Also enclosed is an Subscription Form for the Spiritual Exercises being given by the Society in the Northeast this summer. Let us not be surprised if, following Our Lord, we run into all kinds of troubles, for "All that will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution (II Tim III 12)", but let us take up spiritual arms, for instance the Spiritual Exercises, against this sea of troubles: "Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, do manfully, and be strengthened (I Cor XVI 13)".
Thank you for all your loyalty and support, past and future – may Our Divine Lord bless you and His Mother reward you.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Fr. Richard Williamson
