Report: Williamson Confirmed Viganò's Conditional Episcopal Consecration in Writing
Bishop Richard Williamson (+ January 2025) allegedly confirmed to Sean Johnson that he had conditionally consecrated a Archbishop Carlo Viganò, 85, a bishop in 2023. Johnson published a 2023 email from Williamson on Seraphim54.substack.com on June 19.
Johnson is a former seminarian of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) and father of nine children who now attends Mass at the US-based Congregation of Saint Pius V (CSPV), a splinter group from the FSSPX.
Johnson's publication is consistent with information previously received by Gloria.tv from independent ecclesiastical sources.
Viganò was consecrated a bishop by Pope John Paul II in 1992.
Since 2023, a persistent rumour about the conditional [second] consecration of Viganò has circulated.
Johnson’s article claims that he emailed Viganò twice in November and December 2023 asking about those rumours but didn’t receive a reply.

God bless Bishop Williamson. Perhaps Vigano was "Conditionally Confirmed" by Williamson but that doesn't take away from the fact that Vigano is playing all sides, especially "holy Russia's." I do not doubt the validity of Williamson's act but whether Vigano was in a state to be able to receive it.
Thank you so much @Jeffrey Ade . I totally forgot about Bishop Williamson and how he praised Putin and all the great things he was doing. Praised the Russians as well. Thank you! I am going to search for one of his videos about it and post it. But that doesn't mean I approve of his disobedience and turning into a sede when GOD already Blessed the SSPX. Nor does it mean I like Vigano for his defense of Putin and Russia. Haven't listened to him for about a year now. EVEN KNOWING Bishop Williamson was defending both for years! And Archbishop Vigano as well. I don't listen to everyone who likes and defends them even if they are Priests I draw the line on those who are disobedient and or say stupid things. These Priests learn and read and know about Russia and Putin because they learned about them as I and millions of people around the world did. And it's obvious by all the laws Putin and those in the KREMLIN made against all evil's. You can add them to the list you demanded from me.

You are a gem for helping me out. But I did have to thank The Blessed Mother first. The Blessed Mother called Russia. Holy Russia. You remembered! If I find a video or more about it, I will notify you. Let's see how much you like him after you hear him going on and on and on about them.
