Has anyone checked with the Old Catholics? This whole thing is so crazy that if they say they've never heard of Wiest I wouldn't be surprised.
You bring up a good point, especially since Wiest has changed his story so many times.
Examples:
He said from the pulpit he met Father Perez 30 years ago in Rome and spent a period of time with him.
Then he said from the pulpit that he met Father Perez 30 years ago in a small town outside of Florence and spent one night.
He said he was 48, then 58.
He said he had testicular cancer once in his life, first he said it was in his last year of high school, then he said he had it in his last year of law school at Yale.
He said he was ordained in Rome.
And now he produces a letter which says he was ordained in the heretical North American Old Roman Catholic Church.
On one hand, the school board should look into the person who signed the letter and see if he actually exists, who he is, and if he wrote the letter.
On the other hand, that would prove only that he is a heretic and not a Roman Catholic priest.
Either way, he is not a Catholic priest.
Evidently this is just fine with the school board.
