He wrote that ten years passed since he left the Society.  The letter was written in 2007, which means he left the SSPX in 1997.  

It should not be too difficult to contact Fr Patrick Perez and ask him directly.

Last I heard, he was in Garden Grove, CA.

Quote from: SeanJohnson

"After 8 or so years Father left the SSJ ( prior to the Scandals in the order)because they were becoming liturgically liberal ( they were using the 1965 Missal)."

Question:

What year does Fr Robert claim to have left the SSJ?

SSJ were horrifically"scandalous" from the beginning. The money troubles came later, shortly before they were finally shut down.

There were only 18 of them.  No possible way that the behavior could have gone un-noticed.

Elizabeth-

While I am inclined to agree with you (ie., I was a postulant in the SSJ for 5 weeks in the summer of 1998, and left as soon as I heard weird talk about future plans for communal showers and sleeping arrangements), the man is a priest, and entitled to the norms of justice.

Since the matter has been called into question, the Catholic position is to reserve judgment, and grant the most favorable benefit of the doubt, until such time as prima facie proof one way or the other emerges.

Hence my recommendation that someone contact Fr Perez in CA, as it would seem he could render a definitive affirmation/refutation in the matter.

There were quite a few former SSPX priests who wound up affiliated with the Society of St John, and they became affiliated with "Bishop" Timlin, and, several years later, Scranton Diocese is paying a major sex-abuse lawsuit for these "men." Some of these men worked themselves down to South America, to start over. Some of them became affiliated with other boys schools in the US. These schools have now, also, suffered the consequences of imprudently allowing these men to minister around young children.

The devil is wild. You know full well that Our Lady said the leaders at the top will lose their faith; you know that Pope Leo witnessed the battle wherein the devil claimed he would be victorious in 100 years; you know full well that the Alta Vendita made it their prime objective to destroy the Catholic Church, and destroying the Catholic Mass was a necessary prerequisite.You know to destroy the Catholic Church, you need to destroy the priesthood of Jesus Christ. You know full well that Ratzinger made it official policy to just move the perverts around, and not have them punished ( this allowed the to magnify their perversions by many times-- all over the world). And you know that the Communists specifically recruited ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs to become priests!

Why be surprised that Tradition is under attacked? Of course we will be attacked! Even perverts will flock to tradition-- because they know they can ply their trade un-hampered! Right now, the true Sacrifice of the Mass is not being offered ANYWHERE else but in Traditional Chapels! Only in Traditional Chapels and Churches can the devil get the glee of destroying souls dedicated to Jesus Christ, of actually attacking Christ in His Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity.
So, pray for your priests. Support them. But be wary.

Great post, hugeman.

Communal showers and sleeping arrangements?  That's what you put in under an emergency situation, like at a shelter or in a MASH unit.  Not just weird; plain old nasty!

It was worse than that, tragically.

The article titled, Exploiting Traditionalist Orders The Society of St. John

by Randy Engel at http://www.newengelpublishing.com

describes the abominations at St. Gregory's Academy, an enormous and beautiful campus which had to shut down because of the SSJ predators.

Apparently a parishioner in the Chapel has a huge collection of docuмents disproving all of Dr Bond's allegations.

Can I ask why Fr Dominic doesn't make use of the docuмents to correct the allegations?

There were further allegations against Fr Dominic dating from his time with the SSJ and it makes no sense that he would let such damaging allegations against him stand unchallenged, if there's proof that they're false.

Dear people,
The questions being asked are serious ones. The matters involved
are grave. Indeed, the physical and spiritual safety of our children may be
at risk. But we also know that a woman or man is entitled to their
good reputation. How would I be able to prove to 10,000 people I don't
know that I'm not a serial murderer? Or that I'm not an unfaithful adulterer?
     You see, it would be impossible-- once those charges were spread. As impossible
as trying to gather all the down feathers from a pillow once the pillow were ripped open,
and the feathers scattered from the second floor balcony.
     This internet is a great medium, and has been used successfully to
keep the faithful properly informed of  the snakes amongst us.But we have to make
sure that , as the information touches someone's reputation, it passes the smell test:
1) Is it true (not gossip, rumour,or speculation)? 2) Is it necessary to be said ( has the problem been resolved, have the hurt parties been made whole, has the behavior been corrected, etc) ?
3) will I absolutely improve the situation by my discourse (is there a high risk it will happen again, etc)?

So, let's take the advise given by other posters and contact the principals
involved.
