He's either Robert Siscoe or John Salza.

It's interesting that Salza chose LaCosaNostra as his screen name, which is the term for the Sicilian Mob / Mafia, and given that he recently accepted accolades and an award from the Masonic Sons of Italy, perhaps that's saying something.

In light of the recent attacks by John Salza against the SSPX and all Traditional Catholics, I am sure it would interest the viewers and users of this site to find out a very interesting fact about this man.

Some years ago back in 2018, Salza attended an awards ceremony held by the Roma Lodge of the Order of the Sons of Italy (OSIA) in Wisconsin. You can see him pictured here among the other "honorees":



See an excerpt of his "profile" here:




The OSIA still has this recorded on their newsletter website, here are the links:

https://franoi.com/profiles/osia0418/

The OSIA is a masonic organization, as this in-depth Twitter thread reveals.








It should be noted that one does not need to be a member of their organization to be an "honoree". Other organizations, like the masonic Rotary Club, also have a habit of awarding non-members if their lodge finds this non-member to embody the values of their organization. Nowhere under these two links does it state that Salza is a member of this lodge, or any lodge for that matter, yet the status of lodge membership is given for at least one of the honorees who went to the same event as Salza. See here the case of this Novus Ordo deacon:



Though, funnily enough, the author of this article gives some mention of Salza's anti-masonic activities:



Thus, it seems that while Salza is not a member of this group, this alleged crusader against Masonry is so highly regarded by this OSIA lodge that they gave him an award. Moreover, this foremost expert against Masonry received an award from a group of people he publicly claims to oppose and disavow.

Two questions stand: Why did these Italian-American masons honor Salza, and why would Salza accept this award from them?

There is something rotten in the state of Denmark!

I have attached some relevant images below, along with PDF file downloads of the articles just in case they get "disappeared".

Well then, it should be an be an easy job to convince everyone that Salza is wrong about the sedes, since he may be a freemason. Using that argument against him is certainly easier than trying to refute his claims.

Bp. Faure once said that the ralliers (who want the SSPX to reconcile with Rome, like Salza does) and the sedevacantists are but two sides of the same coin.

The crux isn't sede vs SSPX, but rather recognizing the Conciliar Church for what it is.

Meg is obsessed with SVism, but Salza condemns all Traditional Catholics (outside of Motu groups like FSSP, ICK, etc.) as schismatics, heretics, and outside the Church, in need of conversion.  And he's merely taking his false first principles to their logical conclusions, that SVs tried to point out were incorrect out of the gate, but R&R jumped on the bandwagon to defend these same principles that later Salza would turn against them as well.

Yes, he may indeed condemn all trads outside of the indult bunch, but don't you condemn all trads who do not follow your reasoning - reasoning which says that we are heretics and schismatics if we do not hold Pope Francis as suspect of manifest heresy?

Yep.  Attributing corruption to the Church's Magisterium and Public Worship is at once heretical and schismatic.  Cf. my previous post.  Archbishop Lefebvre didn't hold your position.  And that is precisely why I started this thread, appealing to R&R to consider Father Chazal's position, since his does not labor under this difficulty.
