It is a picture of Karol Wojtyła, better known as John Paul II. While it is debatable if he was the Pope, there is little doubt that he was validly ordained a Priest.

How much more proof will some people need to realize that Mr. Wiest is NOT a priest & shouldn't be called Fr.?  or "Fr."  It's a slap in the face to true priests so stop it.

So, you found him in lay clothing last year and he was found a very few years ago OPENING a buddhist junk shop (God knows how long it lasted).  Not proof enough, in my mind that he is not a priest.

A decade or more ago I went on a little vacation.  I met a very nice man and we talked at length about the Catholic Church.  He was a maronite Catholic.  Near the end of our conversation he told me he was a priest!  He said he always wears lay clothing while on vacation so he is not inundated with people asking for this and that, much like a celebrity.  He said he normally wears a cassock.

So, Wiest may have the same idea...

I am not saying he IS a priest, and I am not saying he ISN'T.  I am only saying there is still some doubt.

His having OPENED a Buddhist junk shop a very few years ago is more proof to me than the lay clothing last year, and even then it is STILL possible he is a priest.  How many priests did b. slupski ordain without so much as year of training?

His Buddhist altar in his home is real cause for concern, but that is also not proof he is not a priest. 

What the rhubarb, junk shop, altar, refusing to provide docuмentation, etc does prove is that he is someone to stay away from.

You need more concrete proof before calling him "Mr.", for if you are mistaken think of the detraction and scandal you have caused.

(And no, I am not Wiest.  I am the one who found his Buddhist junk shop.)

How much more proof will some people need to realize that Mr. Wiest is NOT a priest & shouldn't be called Fr.?  or "Fr."  It's a slap in the face to true priests so stop it.

Agreed. Also, we know his pattern for lying.

He refuses to show any docuмentation that he is a priest.

He wants to work with altar boys alone but refuses to show his drivers license so his records can be checked.

He was posing as a layman months before he arrived at OLHC and no records exist anywhere of a priest with the name he is currently using. Not only is he unable to prove he is Fr. Wiest; he cannot even prove he is Mr. Michael Wiest.

Either he lying about meeting Fr. Perez in Rome and staying with him for several days or he was lying when he changed his story to having met him in a small town outside Florence on his way to Slovakia and spending one night.

He was caught in another lie when he misquoted Our Lady of Fatima as saying the miracle of the Sun would happen again. She never said that. He then went on to say that he himself had seen this miracle the week prior to his sermon.

He was caught in another lie when he said the Buddhist altar in his home was not an altar, but rather a family heirloom, a museum piece. Others have researched the components of an altar to worship the false god Buddha and his altar checks all the boxes: mirror to communicate with the dead ancestors, the white candles, flowers and the antique Chinese table on which his pagan altar rests.

His other lies are well-docuмented on this thread, which raises the question. Why should we believe the rumors that he has Covid and is in Anaheim Memorial Hospital? Someone called the hospital last week and he was not a patient there. So where is he?

Also someone is spreading lies about Father Starbuck. Hmm, might this be him?
