What is the R' Willig story?

BTW, it is actually true that where there is aN ACCEPTABLE halakhic will BY AN 
APPROPRIATE AUTHORITY, there sometimes/oftentimes is a halakhic way.

Not only 'et la'assot laShem, mishum eivah and mishum darkhei shalom are 
relevant, but also she'at hade'haq and hefsed merubeh, for example.

However, indeed, the original author of the now mangled quote did not want to 
include the two important conditions I added to the quote.
