Pepsuber - You have a problem with his new title which he did get from the pope through a Bishop that he met in India, but have no problem with him using a 19-20 year old straw subdeacon??!!!  Can you explain?

s2srea - If your sister knew what I knew you wouldn't need to hit her over the head!  I don't know if some things are still on the 'net, but try Googling him for some eye-opening stuff for a trad priest to be interested in.  No, nothing sinful really, at least for a layman, but rather A LOT of worldly interests for a trad priest.  Not to speak of the utter waste of time & money.

In each case it's the lack of information that's the key. I don't want to condemn Fr. Perez over the straw subdeacon because I don't know the circuмstances. On the other hand, the new title raises a host of questions. I've never heard of a bishop requesting the title for a priest not of his own diocese, let alone a priest not of his own ritual church. It's not knowing the circuмstances in this case that makes it disturbing.

Thorn, would the type of interests referred to include this from the educate-yourself website?

Dear Ken,

Here they are. I have reduced the size of the files for easier emailing, but should you or anyone else want the larger pixel images to blow them up better or play around with them (as in enhance them as was done to some of the other photos on your site, to make the beams more distinct... I don't have the programs for doing all that myself), I can email them one at a time or send them on a cd.

As for my parishioners being informed about all this, yes they are up to speed on chemtrails, the irs, the fed, all that and more. We are a traditional Catholic parish, one that has kept the old Latin Mass the way it was before and so are used to having to fight the system on virtually everything, so the people here are kind of different and into all that stuff, you might say. In any case, they're no strangers to chemtrails for the most part. There may be some of the little old ladies we don't want to bother with the gory details, you realize, but in general, they've got the picture.

Once again, thank you for all your hard work to inform the public.

God bless!
Fr.Patrick J. Perez

You're right about that. They would have a fit if they knew. Wonder how Msgr. Perez justifies leading his congregation in those directions. :heretic: That site borders on paranoia in places.

Sorry, but I see that some websites that he's posted on are hard to find now, so let me give you a few.  They all have reviews that he's written.

1. Red Cloud Cigar Martini Bar & Billiards in Fullerton.  This is now closed & I can't bring up his glowing review of the place.  His was one of 7 reviews & written 12/30/04.  His title for it is, 'What a rare & great place!'  In part he writes '... comfortable & the people working there were friendly & helpful.  I enjoyed the evening. It is a great place to meet cigar-smoking ........'  By Fr. Patrick Perez from Garden Grove.  I didn't print this out till 2010 so this was all that was posted then.  Sorry I didn't print it out when I first found it in its entirety.

2. BlanketWorx.com    Click on Testimonials on the right & go to the bottom of p. 17. He wrote this 9/4/08.   Gushy, gushy.

3. Ringingcedarsofrussia.org    Go to Store & scroll past the books to click on Spoons on the right.  Then click on Comments.  He wrote this 9/21/07.  They are $11.50 for 2. He also ordered a bag of shelled cedar nuts & a cedar wood pendant.(!!!)  Since the nuts are no longer in stock you can't see the review but he says, 'These are the best I have ever tasted.  Whatever about their "cosmic energy". I have never had any sweeter or tastier than these (Is that what "cosmic energy" does to them?'  The nuts are $24.95 for 17.6 oz.

4.  Google 'Absinthe the Sip of Seduction'.  They used to show a few pages of the book & one of those pages had the Acknowledgments & there, in alphabetical order, is Fr. Patrick J. Perez.  I don't think they show that page any more but some libraries carry the book. I understand that he did the translation for the Absinthe Museum.  

All these things are his own words that he proudly put on the 'net for all to see.  He also did a review for a Trinidad cigar company but I can't find it now.  I'm quite sure that there are many, many more reviews 'out there', but this should give you a taste of the man in his own words.  I guess the moral of this is if you go to that church you better put in big bucks cuz this man has expensive tastes.

 

Y'know, "Msgr" Perez has a lot of time on his hands. Don't think it is beneath him to follow this thread (he probably has been informed about it) and make 'edits' to various things that are brought up, deleting old reviews, emailing old friends to remove his name from acknowledgments in books about odd, hallucinogenic interests, etc.

If you're going to note something here, be sure to screen capture *at least* before you post it.

Please be aware that when some people who spoke out against Fr. Paul Sretenovic (Fr. Perez's assistant priests) on some Internet blog, Fr. Sretenovic was informed by his parishioners which led him to write counter those bloggers with his argument.

I think writing things about Fr. Perez could escalate to a public condemnation from the pulpit in my opinion.  I mean if he could do it to his former assistant priest (who was consecrated a bishop in secret by Thuc-line bishops) then likewise Fr. Perez could do it again to the one who started this thread.  And mind you, he also spoke out against his assistant priest on The Remnant Newspaper.

I didn't know Fr. Perez was categorized as, in my own paraphrased understanding, a slanderer by the Remnant Newspaper or some traditional Catholic periodical?

I find his political stances as a traditional Catholic to be contradicting..

He follows the pre-1955 rubrics which for me a schismatic behavior because the Roman Pontiff has the authority to modify rubrics in the Church since rubrics are malleable according to Bishop Louis Morrow, a missionary prelate with a theology doctorate and contemporary of Pope Pius XII.  And the twist is, he follows the mandate of Pope John XXIII in allowing laymen to act as straw-deacon in a Solemn High Mass.  That's using a pre-1955 Liturgy with a tweak of a 1960 reform?  When I was in the Seminary, all our liturgical books were 1955.  It would be unheard of to use the 1965 rubrics and say, let's say the Epistle and Gospel in English because Rome said it's okay while using the 1955 Liturgy!  

His congregation (a majority of them) are SSPX supporters yet many of them don't realize that the SSPX doesn't recognize the 1971 New Rite of Confirmation as valid. I mention this because some of his parishioners disparaged me for condemning the New Rite of Confirmation and for me saying they have to be conditionally confirmed.  One of them condemned it as sedevacantist agenda.  

I was like, "When I went to the SSPX as a kid, I had to read Archbishop Lefebvre's book, 'An Open Letter to Confused Catholics' where he says the New Rite of Confirmation is invalid and many Novus Ordo priests may not be real priests because of a defect of intention by the Vatican II bishops".  Mind you, the people that disparaged me from Fr. Perez's chapel are SSPX supporters.  They support an organization that they don't even know about or let alone what it believes.  

Their logical reasoning is almost like me saying, "I support Planned Parenthood but I don't know they carry out abortions.  You can't tell me they do abortions because that's so extreme to accept".

He disparages this Catholic priest for being consecrated a traditional bishop by a Thuc-line prelate in the East Coast.  He says it wasn't necessary, in the Remnant Newspaper, since the SSPX episcopal consecrations were justifiable.  Does Fr. Perez realize that Archbishop Lefebvre didn't want his flock to be left without true sacraments?  I remembered his public sermon before the 1988 episcopal ordinations, Msgr. Lefebvre said, "Shall the faithful rely on doubtful sacraments" as result of doubtful intentions from Novus Ordo bishops.

In regards to the former priest that worked with him (who is now a traditional bishop), that bishop didn't go to Old Catholics.  He turned to a Roman Catholic bishop upon the advice of Dr. Rama Coomaraswamy, a SSPX seminary professor and sedevacantist teacher to Fr. Anthony Cekada and Bishop Daniel Dolan.  And so I rest my case... if it's okay for Fr. Cekada's seminary professor then likewise it's okay for me.
