    • He was ordained by Vezelis in 1985 according to the website of his church in Louisiana:

    • Yes, he was ordained by Bishop Vezelis.  He was actually the priest present when the Vietnamese kidnapped Archbishop Thuc.

    • He's a very humble and gentle priest.  I've been talking with him for about a year now, and was blessed to spend some time with him during the Ordinations in Omaha, and he has always been consistently kind, gentle and orthodox.

    • His is one of the solid +Thuc lines.  +Vezelis was ordained pre-V2 and consecrated by +Musey.  +Musey was ordained pre-V2 and consecrated by +Carmona, who was ordained pre-V2 and consecrated by +Thuc.

    Yes, I heard him give a talk about his experiences with Archbishop +Thuc and the details regarding his kidnapping by the Vietnamese, and he certainly came across that way.  BTW, everyone should listen to his account.  Archbishop +Thuc was certainly kidnapped, as per Father Miller's harrowing account of what took place.  There's also zero doubt about the "mental state" of Archbishop Thuc.

    He's also going to be getting some help soon. One of the new CMRI ordained priests is going to be assisting him soon.

    • An interesting and valuable complement to the above testimony of Fr. Francis' is the Dimond interview of then (probably still, but that's another topic) Fr. Neal Webster, who was back at the HQ with Bp Vezelis and was the one usually on the other end of the line when Fr. Francis (then a brother) would call in.  Webster's testimony corroborates Francis'.

    • Although I have never met Fr Miller, my brother and his family have been members of his mission in AL for many years, and are very fond of him. Additionally, my brother in law and his family have been members of a mission of his in TX for many years, and they also have always spoken very highly of him. As mentioned by Lad, he is one of the most solid of the many branches of the Thuc tree, and has a long history of public service during the crisis that, to my knowledge, has been free from controversy (which is sadly rare in traddyland). If I had an opportunity to attend one of his masses, I would not hesitate.
