Here is what we know about the infamous Pablo (Paul Hernandez):
1. He has somehow managed to get himself placed in charge of operations in Boston, KY
1b. He is often placed in charge of the seminarians in Boston, KY, and many seminarians have left because of this. His direction of the seminarians is anything but edifying, with Pablo frequently cancelling classes, prayer, etc. in favor of work. He has no spiritual life, so that isn't surprising.
2. He owns all the website properties, and is the main contact point for Fr. Pfeiffer's group. He receives all the e-mails. He is the point man for communications.
3. He, along with one older woman,
takes care of the finances of Fr. Pfeiffer's operation.
4. He has a very bad reputation in many circles: for years, he has been known as "Pablo the devil" and "Pablo the witch" in Spanish.
5. He has told us personally here on CathInfo that
he practices Omerta, which is normally associated with the Mafia.
6. In his many Internet posts (including CathInfo, youtube comments, e-mails), one could discern he had a
boastful and proud bearing. His posts were filled with drama and braggadocio. He seeks fame and power.
7. He has bragged in the past (on CathInfo) about doing "hand to hand combat" with the devil.
8. He publicly admitted on CathInfo to all his "Ghostbuster" style
lay-exorcist activities, as covered in a local newspaper. At that point, he was banned here.
9. These activities included "waiting up" for the devil to manifest himself, with a boom box and a deck of playing cards.
10. His Sensus Catholicus (Catholic sense) seems to be broken or non-existent.
11. But this
superstitious fascination with the devil or imprudent dabbling in things demonic happened YEARS AGO. But
where did that take him today?12.
Pablo doesn't attend Mass anymore, and hasn't for years -- even though he lives on the Boston, KY property itself.
13. Pablo's personal family life is irregular to say the least. Pablo is married. That's all I'm going to say about that.
14. He has a reputation for
bullying and harassing innocent Traditional Catholics, and has been banned from many SSPX chapels.
15. Pablo doesn't hold back when his intended victim is a woman or elderly (or both!)
16.
He has harassed Mrs. Pfeiffer, Fr. Pfeiffer's mother, on several occasions. She has cast him out of the property -- or tried to -- several times.
17. Pablo found and/or promoted an Orthodox con-man, Ambrose Moran, whose very dubious stories don't check out or add up.
17b. Did Pablo have anything to do with Fr. Pfeiffer's current friendship/alliance with Fr. Tetherow, a convicted pedophile? It turns out that Fr. Tetherow also has a thing for exorcisms, and has a creepy "look into my eyes" routine. Fr. Tetherow also "broke the sixth commandment" with a woman. Birds of a feather?
18. He has a very nice house in Phoenix, AZ, which he apparently doesn't even live in. How does he afford the property taxes, even if it's paid off?
19. He used to be a pipefitter. Do they pay so well that he can retire early? See #3.
20. Pablo is allegedly some kind of involved in the life of married woman who recently moved to Boston, who is not living with her husband. The husband wants her to come home; Pablo is interfering. Pablo also goes to this woman's house late at night. This comes from those who live in Boston, KY. I can't confirm this point personally.
20b. Apparently this #20 isn't the first time he has interfered in a couple's marriage like this.
21. One ex-seminarian reported that Pablo is sometimes up at night drinking with a married woman.
22. Pablo has threatened many people over the years, many of which threats we have in writing (e-mail, posts, youtube comments, etc.)
23. Apparently there are lots of
unnatural and preternatural incidents that have happened around Pablo.
24. Pablo has talked about witches in his neighborhood sending the cats to do unnatural things (like defecate on his roof -- cats don't naturally do this)
25. "[Pablo] may leave objects that can cause spiritual trouble as happened to a friend of mine.
She had to get rid of everything that had passed through Pablo's hands before things were ok." Another sign that Pablo could be mixed up in some dark arts.
26. Pablo has "big televisions in the rooms" at his house in Phoenix, AZ. This is the same house where Fr. Pfeiffer says Mass when he's in Phoenix. See #10.
27. Fr. Voigt, a good priest, recently left Fr. Pfeiffer's group partly
because of Pablo.
28. Pablo has certainly not discouraged, but actively encouraged, Fr. Pfeiffer into an isolated cult mentality, sectarianism, and in-fighting with fellow Resistance priests. See #1
29. Pablo has done various things calculated to
harm the Resistance and start trouble, like posting the personal addresses (not the Mass center locations) of all the Resistance Mass center coordinators. And attacking Fr. Zendejas and Bishop Williamson.
30. Pablo has often
exaggerated and caused confusion: For example, one time he posted "The only thing left [of the Pfeiffer ranch] is the mailbox."
31. Pablo has successfully helped divide at least the American Resistance, and caused countless chaos and spiritual harm.
32. Catholic doctrine/common sense dictate that laymen must not get involved with the devil, or... very bad things can happen. But Pablo has flaunted this rule. Did he prove the Catholic Church to be wrong, making a big deal over nothing? Or, on the contrary, is he a "statistic" about what happens to a layman when he messes with the devil?
33. Why is Fr. Pfeiffer so attached to Pablo, who is objectively speaking a superstitious, apostate layman? I can't think of any other Trad priest who has been "partner" with such an individual for almost TWO DECADES. It boggles the mind. But everything happens for a reason. There has to be an explanation. Mind control? Blackmail? Manipulation? Diabolical influence? All of the above? Let's look at the fruits of this partnership: are they evil?
34. Recently, Pablo has outdone himself and slandered Fr. Voigt, accusing him of outrageous things. But these accusations are things which any objective individual, looking at the evidence and the lives of both men, would consider
much more likely to have been done by Pablo himself than by Fr. Voigt!
For some mysterious reason, Fr. Pfeiffer is totally blind to the evils enumerated above. Pablo has been with Father for 18 years now. "For better or worse?" Give me a break.
Now this might not come as a surprise, but increasingly I am hearing reports, rumors, and passing mentions of
actual satanism and witchcraft being practiced by Pablo. Keeping all the facts (above) in mind, can we really say those reports are not credible? I can't. It actually doesn't matter if he's a mason, satanist, or what have you. Just the facts above are enough to CAST PABLO OUT OF THE RESISTANCE ALTOGETHER, and for Catholics to avoid Pablo at all costs.
The reports are piling up on my desk -- I have to say SOMETHING.
In conclusion, I must ask for prayers for Fr. Pfeiffer, Fr. Hewko, Fr. Voigt, and all the fervent Traditional Catholics nationwide who depend on this group for Mass and the Sacraments. These Catholics are trying to keep the Faith.
This is a classic example of a struggle that is "not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places." (Ephesians 6:12)
