  • Below is a little smippit from an article on Father Martin Stepanich:

    To Tom Droleskey:  

    I'm writing to challenge you to a debate/discussion on the issue of whether the Catholic Church teaches baptism of desire.  If you are interested, it would be a recorded telephone conversation - a free-wheeling discussion where you can make your points, and I can make mine.  You can ask your questions, and I can ask mine.  

    I doubt you will take me up on this challenge or will be willing to defend your position in this setting, but I figured I'd extend the offer to you anyway.  

    Let me know if you are willing to accept.  

    Sincerely, Bro. Peter Dimond

    To Brother Peter Dimond:

    Given the reprehensible manner in which you have stirred hatred and invective from your claque of sycophants, people who have the great misfortune to be your "followers," against a true priest, Father Martin Stepanich, O.F.M., S.T.D., ordained on May 18, 1941, any conversation with you on any subject is out of the question.

    You have had the temerity to assert that Father Martin Stepanich "claims to be a Franciscan?" What arrogant disrespect. What a crime against the Eighth Commandment, a Commandment that is violated regularly and with ready abandon by the omniscient, infallible "brothers," who make grand pronouncements on the Particular Judgments of others, to lead your claque of sycophants into thinking that Father Stepanich's vows as a member of the Order of Friars Minor in the 1930s, and a matter of public record as they were made in public in front of witnesses, is somehow suspect. God alone will be your judge for such temerity.

    Father Martin, who was suffering at the hands of the revolutionaries before you were born, has written on the doctrine of the Catholic Church with clarity and charity. You would do well to listen to him, who has an earned doctorate in Sacred Theology and the graces that have flowed from his sixty-seven years of priesthood, offering the Immemorial Mass of Tradition with exquisite perfection. The doctrine of the Catholic Church is not subject to debate.

    Many people are praying for your return to the Catholic Faith. I, for one, want nothing to do with one outside of the fold of Holy Mother Church, and whose abominable hatred for a true son of Saint Francis and a devoted client of the Mother of God is leading many other people into committing grave sins against Charity and Justice.

    With an assurance of prayers for your own conversion, I remain,

    Sincerely yours in Christ the King and Mary our Immaculate Queen,

    Thomas A. Droleskey, Ph.D.

    It is interesting that during an exchange between the Dimonds and Father Stepanich, Father had the decency to call them "Brothers" but they called him "Marty".  

    I could not believe how low they would sink.  If the Dimonds are a model of Catholic charity I want no part of it.

    "I receive Thee, redeeming Prince of my soul. Out of love for Thee have I studied, watched through many nights, and exerted myself: Thee did I preach and teach. I have never said aught against Thee. Nor do I persist stubbornly in my views. If I have ever expressed myself erroneously on this Sacrament, I submit to the judgement of the Holy Roman Church, in obedience of which I now part from this world." Saint Thomas Aquinas the greatest Doctor of the Church
