God's grace has abundantly favored Father Starbuck today!  More and more souls are showing their love, loyalty and devotion to our beloved Father and his beautiful (pre-1962 Missal) Latin Mass.  God is giving the grace of discernment and truth to more and more souls in finding the truth regarding the injustice Father endured when he was forced out of OLHC after 15 years of unwavering faithful loyalty! I believe God will severely punish those individuals who deliberately willed and did hurt Father by their almost assault-like aggression to Father by casting him out with the threat of "having him arrested if he ever set foot on OLHC property again" mere days before Christmas as outlined in the earlier written blogs herein.

In any event, there were 75 souls at the 7:30 a.m. Mass at St. Dominic's Chapel today (Standing room only). There was 45 souls at the 9:30 a.m. and 45 souls at the 12:00 Masses.  Many confessions... Father is available for confession before all three Masses. A rarity indeed in all of Orange County's Catholic churches. Father is so generous and giving of his time and energy.  In addition, the rosary was recited to Our Blessed Mother before all Masses.

Anyone... I am wondering if there is any further news about "Fr." Wiest's presence at OLHC?  It seem that he has been feeling the heat from our efforts here at CatholicInfo.com and I heard that he is deliberately staying low key and is in a somewhat retreating mode saying Mass?? only at certain individual's homes but NOT at OLHC!  Is that true? Any news Anyone? 

IF it turns out to be true, why with all of the what appears to be a Fraud perpetrated by "Fr." Wiest as to his true identification, I don't feel he should be given the opportunity to simply "cut and run" now without seeing to it that there should be consequences if their was indeed any sort of Fraud perpetrated on the faithful of OLHC.  I also believe their should be consequences for "The Board" who (if true) provided "cover" for this man! AFTER ALL I WENT TO CONFESSION TO THIS MAN AND i BELIEVED I RECEIVED THE BODY & BLOOD OF JESUS FROM THIS MAN TO ONLY POSSIBLY MADE A FOOL OF.

The board is trying to get rid of him, but he refuses to leave the house that OLHC is paying for. He is saying (illegitimate) Mass at the home of a grieving widow. I pray that he repents.

If this is true, good for the board.
If he won't leave, time to change the locks and put his stuff on the street.

I wonder if he brought his Buddhist altar with him to the widow's house.

So many strange things happening here, it's hard to wrap one's head around the craziness.

One of the problems with "independent" priests is there's little oversight of them or their chapels. There's no bishop in the canonical line to hold them accountable. My impression has been that some of these priests can develop a sort of 'cult' following. I'm not implying that it's always their fault however. The emergency in the Church is such that many cling to these priests as one would cling to a lifesaver, in desperation. I pray for OLHC that things over there will stabilize and real priests will continue to offer the Traditional Mass and dispense the Sacraments. It has been an oasis for many years where the Faith is kept whole and entire amid the raging storm of Modernism outside. There's also the school which has done much good work over the years.
