Biography
Early Life
William Jenkins was born on November 14, 1951 in [place]. As a child, he attended [what school] and later [what other school]. Having decided to enter the seminary, he entered [seminary(ies)]. Displeased with [modernism, basically] he decided to enter Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre's traditional seminary, the International Seminary of Saint Pius X (SSPX), in Econe, Switzerland, and thus became a member of the Society of Saint Pius X.
Society of St. Pius X
Father William Jenkins was ordained on June 29, 1978[1] at the International Seminary of Saint Pius X by Archbishop Lefebvre.[citation needed] After being ordained, he was sent by the SSPX to begin his priestly work in the United States of America. While there, he became the pastor of St. Therese of the Child Jesus Chapel in Parma, Ohio[citation needed] and assisted in missionary circuits established by SSPX priests throughout the country. He notably worked with then-Fathers Clarence Kelly (who was the the SSPX superior in Northeastern America), Donald Sanborn, and Daniel Dolan, and Fathers Anthony Cekada, Daniel Ahern, Thomas Zapp, Eugene Berry, and Joseph Collins.
Due to internal administrative issues recognized within the SSPX as well as theological concerns about SSPX policy regarding the validity of the new rite of ordination and the usage of the 1962 Roman Missal edited and promulgated by John XIII, Father Jenkins, along with the eight aforementioned priests, broke away from the SSPX.[2] Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, the Superior General of the Society, would later denounce them as rebels.[2] These priests would be collectively become known as "The Nine."[2]
Society of St. Pius V
The Nine subsequently formed the Society of Saint Pius V (SSPV) after a prolonged legal battle with the SSPX, which ended in a settlement.[2] Father Kelly was chosen as their superior. As a founding member, Father Jenkins primarily worked in Ohio at St. Therese of the Child Jesus Church in the Cleveland suburbs.[3]
In 1989, Father Cekada left the SSPV along with Father Dolan over a disagreement with Father Kelly regarding the validity of the priestly and episcopal orders stemming from Archbishop Ngo Dinh Thuc[citation needed] as well as concerns regarding the governance of the SSPV and its newly-created congregation of religious sisters, the Daughters of Mary, Mother of Our Savior.[citation needed] Fathers Dolan and Sanborn would later be consecrated bishops by Thuc-line bishops.[citation needed] These departures were followed by the resignation of every other priest in the SSPV with the exception of Father Jenkins.[citation needed] The close proximity of Immaculate Conception Church run by Father Jenkins and St. Gertrude the Great run by the successors of Bishop Dolan and Father Cekada, both in the Cincinnati area, is a source of continued tension and argument.[2]
Father Jenkins created the show What Catholics Believe in 1989 along with the other priests still in the SSPV at that time.[4] Initially hosted on local television networks, the show ended after several months having been priced out of the market.[4] The show started up again in 2015 on YouTube, however, and continues to air on the internet.[4]

Theological Positions
Father Jenkins holds de facto to sedevacantism. He adheres to the official stance of the SSPV on the matter, namely that the opinion that the Papacy is currently vacant is "dictated by logic and a correct application of Catholic theological principles," although the SSPV or its priests "do not claim the authority to settle this question definitively."[5]
Father Jenkins considers the validity of priests and bishops who trace their orders to Archbishop Thuc to be doubtful.[citation needed]
Father Jenkins disapproves of dances that involve physical contact between unmarried people of the opposite sex.[citation needed]
Present Day
Father Jenkins is currently teaches high school-level religion and is the principle at Immaculate Conception Academy, the parish school associated with Immaculate Conception Church.[6]
Father Jenkins continues to co-host What Catholics Believe, using the platform Rumble to livestream weekly episodes and YouTube to post clips from recorded shows.[7]
