Yes, Maria, it is CALUMNY, SLANDER and DEFAMATION. But for a man like Pablo, whose evils might even extend as far as witchcraft, I can't say I'm surprised.
Here's my testimony:
Fr. Voigt is NOT guilty of any kind of sins involving money. He came here for Mass once a month for 3/4 of a year. I spoke with him countless times.
Also, Fr. Voigt is a zealous priest, a good priest. The faithful he served recognized this, and freely gave him donations to cover his needs. Besides the fact that Fr. Voigt impressed me as a serious priest, one who takes the spiritual life seriously, he also had no MOTIVE for stealing. On the other hand, Boston, KY -- and the one who carries the purse, and the things that were put therein, that is to say Pablo -- always needs more money. According to reports I've received (many in confidence), Fr. Pfeiffer's OLMC operation is facing hard times, including declining turnout, at many of its locations. People are leaving for the SSPX, sedevacantists, the Indult, or other groups. It's hard to keep people focused when you're only there every 8 weeks or less.
But back to Pablo's accusation. It sounds to me like classic projection -- assaulting someone, stealing their wallet, then calling the cops and accusing the victim of assault and robbery!
1. Pablo (with one assistant, a woman named Rose) takes care of the finances. This charge of his is most ridiculous, since OLMC's money doesn't even pass through Fr. Voigt's hands to begin with. Moreover, Fr. Voigt isn't eyeing OLMC's money, it's the other way around! OLMC *has no money*. They are the ones who always need more.
Fr. Voigt took care of his own finances -- he would get the collection, and use it to buy his own plane tickets, so he could promise his various locations when Mass would be each month. Sure enough, he was always there when he said he would be (1st Sunday of the month, 2nd Sunday, etc.) with the only exceptions coming from things outside his control, like the weather.
Basically, Fr. Voigt helped out Fr. Pfeiffer's organization, saying Mass and working in the Seminary, but he tried to maintain a certain level of autonomy. I believe finances were always kept separate, except for possible donations from Fr. Voigt to the seminary.
You know how Fr. Pfeiffer's e-mail alerts often tell you on September 19th when and where Mass will be on September 20th? I've even seen InThisSign e-mails Saturday night saying "Location: TBD" talking about a Mass taking place the next day! Fr. Voigt knew that you can't grow -- or even maintain -- a location with that kind of unpredictability and lack of regularity.
Anyhow, from what I could gather Fr. Voigt donated whatever extra he had left over to "the cause" (Fr. Pfeiffer). He also spent very little time there; one could never accuse him of freeloading off the Boston, KY operation. He would spend weekdays staying with various families, especially where there was a young man needing vocational training/guidance. He felt especially called to help with the seminary and work with the youth -- he is a Salesian after all. That was always his main motivation for working with Fr. Pfeiffer. He told me, "The Resistance needs a seminary."
And as someone else put it, Fr. Voigt was more like a cash cow for Boston, KY. Someone said that he loaned money to Fr. Pfeiffer, but didn't get paid back. To me, based on what I know, that sounds highly plausible. Several individuals also said that Pablo tried to set Fr. Voigt up, but Fr. left before Pablo's machinations could begin. We do know for a fact that Fr. Voigt left partially because of Pablo.
I think we all know who is "in the right" in a dispute between Fr. Voigt and Pablo!
Long story short, there is NOTHING I have ever seen that suggests we give the FIRST SHRED of credence to any slander against Fr. Voigt in this regard.
On the other hand, we have legions of evidence that Pablo is nefarious, and is working all kinds of evil in Boston, KY.
So if you hear any slander against Fr. Voigt, please remember the source: Pablo.
This is just one more paper on the pile (5 feet high) of Pablo's evil works.
P.S. I need to clarify. I'm not accusing Fr. Pfeiffer of anything. I'm accusing Pablo of the slander, as well as possibly stealing Fr. Voigt's money (borrowing without repaying) and then adding injustice to injustice by slandering his name afterwards.
If you're going to be Bursar of a religious group, you had better be at a high level of holiness! Look at some other famous bursars, or "those who held the purse, and the contents therein":
Judas Iscariot
Bishop Fellay
Pablo
Ouch! I don't think +Fellay deserves that kind of company...
Seriously, though, It's easy to get caught up in material considerations or concerns when you are in charge of a group's material resources. I think it has to be much more difficult to keep a spiritual outlook when you have the duties of bursar. You get special temptations, such as "maybe if we hired an image consultant or marketing agency, we could be more attractive and bring in more revenues!"
