  • Can anyone tell me if there are any traditional Catholic Churches and/or priests (not associated with SSPX or Fraternal Order of St Peter) in the state of Tennessee? If there are, who/where are they?

  • At this point, one can hardly recommend Fr. Pfeiffer.

    He tries to foster a cult of personality around himself, and poisons his "faithful" such that they won't even seek out other Mass locations. They end up boycotting ALL locations not associated with Fr. Pfeiffer! Insane.

    Also see this thread:

    If you are 100% BS proof, then go for it. But be VERY, VERY careful. And if you have a wife and/or kids, then forget it. Fr. Pfeiffer is very charismatic and he's very good at playing people.

    The anonymous person reads this site, so that's a step toward being BS proof.

    I honestly don't know if I'd go or not if Fr. Pfeiffer were my only option.
    If you're looking for in-and-out sacraments, the FSSP and SSPX are probably safer options.

    If NO ordinations/concecrations are doubtful, then FSSP is not an option.  Their priests are ordained by bishops concecrated in the modern rite.  Also, in what rite are their priests ordained?  And if a priests comes to FSSP from straight up NO, I'm sure such priests aren't conditionally ordained.

    As to Fr. Pfeiffer, if I understand schism correctly, it has a lot to do with one's relationships--relationship with the Church and/or relationship with schismatics.  I have asked numerous times for somebody more knowledgeable to correct me if I'm wrong, but thus far I've only received basic affirmation.

    Schismatics are only to be approached for the sacraments in danger of death.  If I, one Sunday, willlie-nillie decide to go to Mass at a Greek Orthodox Church, then I would be in schism.  I am not sure what would need to occur to shed schism once I realized my error (i.e. regular confession, bishop action, etc).  But I'm quite certain that continuing to publicly defend my visit into schism and to argue that the Greek Orthodox aren't schismatic would retain me in schism.  Now ponder Fr. Pfeiffer and the schismatic fraud.

    Another action that places Fr. Pfeiffer in schism is his whimsically red-lighting other solid-teaching good valid priests.  This says "don't mind your Sunday obligation and don't avail yourself to the sacraments because I'm having a playground temper tantrum against Bishops and Priests XY&Z."  This is choosing his own ego over the Catholic Church; this is advising to ignore the Catholic Church (miss Mass, etc) and to stay away from the Catholic Church in favor of an ego, albeit a massive ego.

    I have posted the crux of this several times and invited critique; this is what I earnestly and honestly believe; and until someone better versed in what constitutes "schism" straightens me out, then I would only turn to Fr. Pfeiffer in danger of death and in the absence of non-schismatic valid priests.  And then only for the sacraments--not to attend one of his Masses sprinkled, if not laden, with schism spewed from the pulpit.

  • Notice that on one of the links someone posted, there is a Mass in Lacey’s Spring, Alabama. This is just outside of Huntsville and ideal if you live in Middle Tennessee. I believe that these are the Catholics that were longtime supporters of Fr. Leonard at Christ the King Abbey before his death and the subsequent sell-out. Many people travelled from Middle Tennessee to Cullman and Huntsville is a lot closer, but I think a lot of people don't know that the faithful regrouped there.
    We conclude logically that religion can give an efficacious and truly realistic answer to the great modern problems only if it is a religion that is profoundly lived, not simply a superficial and cheap religion made up of some vocal prayers and some ceremonies...

    That's an interesting location for a chapel.  Looks to be some kind of historical site.

    My memory fails me as it was 7 years ago that I posted that, but I believe that it was chapel through Father Pfiefer.  I think that was before things got super weird and cultist.  He used to have a website something like, "In this sign you shall conquer" and that was how I came across the information.

    So...  I really have no idea whether it still exists or what it's status might be.  Sorry.

  • Does anyone know of a Resistance mass in Tennessee?  I searched old threads and couldn't find any.

  • I’ve seen online, Bitchute/Rumble/YouTube that Fr. Hewko has an occasional Mass at a home-chapel in TN.  I do not know where, but if you look up his website, I think there’s a calendar with contact info. or you can contact him directly.  I’d sooner go to him than Fr. Pfeiffer, although Fr. Hewko, being only with a Fr. Diaz in Mexico (Spanish only), is a stand-alone priest. As is inevitable, he goes a bit off-track at times, but you wouldn’t have to worry about bringing a wife and kids.

    Troubling that Lux vera is advertising "Bishop" Neal Webster's chapel. Given that the only evidence that exists regarding his competence is the infamous botched consecration he attempted of Fr. Pfeiffer.

    I wouldn't be too concerned about the everyday Sacraments.  I believe that was his first attempt at a consecration (I'm not sure he's even ordained anyone), and the form isn't the easiest Latin in the world, so I could see him tripping up on that.  I'm sure that he's pretty much committed the essential form for the other Sacraments to memory after all these years.

    Luxvera lists many questionable chapels.  It is not a reliable directory.
