Many argue that Bishop Williamson's ideas are not the ideas of the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX). This is theoretically true. The SSPX's statutes and theological positions do not touch upon Fascism and Antisemitism. But there is an undercurrent among many of the faithful and priests that tends in that direction. This undercurrent has been exacerbated by thirty years of indoctrination from Bishop Williamson. It has also been saddening to see that the SSPX has done little publicly to curb or even denounce the radicals that make use of their organization.
The SSPX is in a precarious situation. The current leaders, if we take them at their word, want the Bishop Williamson problem to go away and they apparently want to focus on the religious nature of their cause and organization. However good their intentions are, there is the reality that Bishop Williamson is not silent and many faithful are rallying behind his person and ideology.
The attraction of radicals, and lesser wackos, for the chapels of the SSPX is well known. Roberto Fiore, the founder of Forza Nuova has consistently attended mass at the SSPX. This Fascist has also been described as the "pillar of the parish" by a high ranking SSPX priest. Derek Holland, founder of the International Third Position (ITP) with Fiore, and founder of IHS Press with John Sharpe, has for years attended the SSPX chapels in Ireland. Other political extremists frequent SSPX chapels in England and the United States and have, in at least one prominent case, been permitted to teach in their schools.

A better article would be “Are there radicals in your mosque?”
Better yet, “Are there moooooderates in your mosque?”
Good to see the Catholics dragging the leftists amongst them into the light where they can be properly scourged and expunged.
Maybe it would have been good to read the article before commenting.
Did Abe Foxman write this?
Maybe I learned to write in a different era, but shouldn't an article open with introductions to the subject(s) of the article? Who the heck is this "Bishop Williamson"??? How about an introduction?
Never mind, mystery solved. You’re a blog pimp who slices and dices his articles to meaninglessness to redirect traffic to your precious blog. And you wont’ see this comment because you never, ever, ever read your comments here, based upon your posting history (”1 of ____”).
There, fixed it.

Oh. Sarcasm. See tagline.
