Bishop Williamson Teaches ... the Apocalypse

Class Lecture Series delivered by His Excellency Bishop Richard N. Williamson — Sacred Scripture: Apocalypse of St. John — St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary, Winona MN — 1998-1999

We recently discovered this treasure trove of 65 recordings of class lectures delivered by His Excellency Bishop Richard Williamson during the academic year 1998-1999 at St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary in Winona, MN.

Unfortunately, the original audio quality was extremely poor, rendering them almost unusable, but I’ve been able to clean them up significantly using modern tools that were not available back then.

While the topic for this series might appear to be rather specific and narrow, namely, a Sacred Scripture class focused on the Apocalypse of St. John the Apostle, His Excellency often digresses onto a wide variety of subjects, thereby expounding rather significantly on the greater portion of his wider body of teaching.

I cannot overstate the degree to which I myself had benefitted from the gifts of such a talented instructor, so that I was happy to find this opportunity to share at least some taste of the experience with others who had not been as blessed as I, and to enable His Excellency to continue teaching even from eternity. May Bishop Williamson’s soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the Mercy of God rest in peace. Requiescant in pace.

I also intend to post about my personal experience with Bishop Williamson at another time. While others have shared myriad recollections, stories, and anecdotes, I intend to expound more about how in a very real sense, His Excellency was the father of my intellect, tranforming a mind softened, infected, polluted, and confused into a pile of mush by the modern educational system, with many years under the tutelage of Modernist-heretic Jesuists, into that of a rigorous logician rivalling the fictional character Mr. Spock, with very little tolerance for anything other than objective reality.

Just below this paragraph you will find a link to download a .zip file with the collection of lectures in .mp3 format, so that you can listen to the lectures on a device of your own choosing without having to come back to this site or have an active internet connection. Please be advised that this is a very large file, of about 2 GB. At some point I will break these up into smaller sets (in addition to having the single large file). Once you unzip or “extract” the contents of the .zip file, within the target folder simply sort by the filename in ascending order and that will correspond also with the chronological order of the lectures due to the file-naming convention I employed. There’s also a metadata field called # that is hidden on some operating systems by default but which you may be able add to the “explorer” bar for your convenience.
