"Bishop Tom is an independent Bishop who claims to be a Traditional Catholic.  He received ordination (presumably validly in the traditional rite) from a non-Catholic schismatic, and then was made a Bishop by the same schismatic.  Tom was made a Bishop within a few days after his ordination by the non-Catholic Bishop.  This means that, in a few days, Tom went from being a layman to a Bishop – all at the hands of a non-Catholic schismatic who doesn’t even profess to be Roman Catholic."

So within a few days he when from being a layman to Bishop? That may help explain how it was that Mr. Wiest went from being the proud owner of a Chinese antique shop to being the proud worshiper at his home altar to Buddha -- complete with antique Buddha statue, antique Chinese screen, the white candles and lotus flower and of course the antique mirror in order to communicate with the dead. All the info of setting up an altar to Buddha is available online and meshes perfectly with the photo taken inside Mr. Wiest's home by two former chapel members who saw the pagan altar and fled in terror.

The real question is what is wrong with Father Perez that he allows this pagan Buddha worshiper to continue to pose as a priest? Wiest now says that he had apparitions as a child and expects to work a miracle any day now.
