Fr. Khoat & David Hobson

Dear Lucio:
Could you please explain to me why “H.H. Pope Michael I” would be any less of a “fairytale” than the same which you ascribe to Giuseppe Siri? Siri at least participated at a conclave in 1958 that started out legitimately and was made up of cardinals who were all appointed either by Pope Pius XII or Pope Pius XI. In contrast, David Bawden was the product of a “papal election” held at a “flee-market” furniture resale shop operated by his parents, at which participated only six lay people, four of whom were named Bawden. How did their “pope” satisfy the continuity requirements from the last known, lawful Pope in order that he might claim papal succession from St. Peter?
You have stated several things that are absolutely correct and other things that are not quite accurate on your web-page. With a desire to “set the record straight” on at least some of the points you raise, I will be happy to share with you what information I have, related to these matters:
1) If “palehorse” knows of a successor to Giuseppe Siri, then she has information that is unknown to me. Even if I were in possession of incontrovertible docuмentation of Siri’s rightful claim to the papal office, I have no proof that he ever attempted to appoint a successor, and since he has now been dead for 22 years, with no credible “successor” surfacing in all that time with evidence of a papal appointment, I am of the opinion that no such person exists.
2) I am not the person who first attributed to Giuseppe Siri the status of a hidden Pope or Pope-in-exile, but merely engaged in an investigation after others had made the subject known to me, leading to my unearthing much new related information which has been compiled into a lengthy manuscript, (most of which has never been published) prompting my own conclusions from the evidence available to me.
3) Fr. Tran Van Khoat’s gate-crashing of a convent in Rome in June 1988, where Siri was in temporary residence, is a historical fact supported by photographic evidence. It is also true that Fr. Khoat and I fell out, but this was after his encounter with Giuseppe Siri, when he began to exhibit an unstable mentality, demonstrated by his “crying spells” at the altar and from the pulpit, which would last several minutes at a time, followed by serious lapses in good judgment, including his posting the “Camerlengo” advertisement in the "Houston Chronicle" and several Italian newspapers; his attempt to exercise the privileges of a cardinal without a scintilla of proof that he was appointed to that office, and; his campaign to divide a congregation of remnant Catholics in Houston, Texas, in order to force the transfer of their chapel properties into his coffers.
4) You are correct that Fr. Khoat has been involved in a number of unsavory business ventures, but as far as I know, most if not all of these have either collapsed or were only marginally successful. Therefore, it is more likely that Fr. Khoat has been attempting to tap into the monetary resources of David Hobson, than the other way around. As you have correctly mentioned, Fr. Khoat, a former anti-Communist, has been courting the favor of the Communist leadership of Vietnam in connection with his project for an “American Hospital” in Hanoi. Similarly, following Fr. Khoat’s rejection by the directors of an association of remnant Catholic who were favorable to the thesis of a suppressed papacy as the “enabling act” for the conciliar revolt of the 1960s, he gave sermons to a break-away group in which he promoted the Seminary of the Institute of Christ the King in Gaciliano, Italy, because, as he said, “It has the approval of Rome.” Then, after his return to Vietnam, Fr. Khoat applied for (and received) a “celebret” indicating that he was in good standing with the Communist-approved Novus Ordo Bishop of Dalat and was authorized to offer Mass within the conciliar bishop’s diocese. Thus, by the mid 1990s, the previously rumored papal status of the late Giuseppe Siri, was, to all appearances, a non-issue for Fr. Tran Van Khoat, now firmly re-established back inside the “official church”. Then, unexpectedly in 2005 or 2006, Fr. Khoat was contacted by David Hobson, a would-be hijacker of the Siri investigation who also likes to give people the impression that he is a big-business tycoon by flashing his money around, and suddenly, Fr. Khoat was a great champion of Giuseppe Siri once again. Hobson, desperately wanting to be a “somebody” within traditionalist circles, latched on to Fr. Khoat, hoping that he had the “inside track” on the illusive identity of Siri’s “successor”. And Fr. Khoat, hoping to cash-in from this new relationship was only too happy to “string along” the naïve Hobson indefinitely, if possible. When the double con-job finally plays out, the inevitable falling-out between Fr. Khoat and David Hobson will be spectacular.
Sorting through the maze of contradictory claims and the menagerie of questionable persons, in what passes for “traditional Catholic resistance” these days just might be the most formidable challenge and draining undertaking that one could experience during an entire lifetime. Asking God that you are favored with the gifts of wisdom and discernment via the Light of the Holy Ghost as you attempt to distill that occasional drop of truth from the ocean of lies into which our generation is immersed, I remain,
Sincerely yours in Christ the King,
Gary Giuffré
