Fr Hewko supported and promoted Moran, can we say he is or was schismatic leaning?
-
What? Just for supporting Moran? Hardly.
Ignorant, and perhaps willfully (due to wanting Moran to be legit) ... but not schismatic.
-
Moran was one factor in him leaving OLMC.
-
I think the critical point for Fr Hewko was when Fr Poisson was accepted with his NO ordination by Fr Pfeiffer up front and then subsequently conditionally ordained by Moran. I'm not positive but I think that's the straw that broke his back and was a strong reason why he left Boston.

Correct. He spoke publicly after leaving.

If true, this is telling…
After being exposed for (7) years to the malefices, lies and curses of the Santeria warlock, Father ups & leaves Pfeifferville over a valid Orders issue?
Once Father publicly confesses to the occult nature of the Pfeifferville apostolate, only then will he be somewhat credible.

Fr. David Hewko is an amazing priest! I love him.

The fact that Fr. has yet to have done so troubles me to the point that I wouldn’t attend Mass in NH. Whatever Fr. (Bp.) Joe Pfeiffer is not the issue for me. “Pablo” is THE issue for me, the fact that he as an outsider coming in to an already bad situation and STAYING there for seven years is not good. How he could not see it, I just do not believe. I know I’m not the only one to alert Fr. H. and make complaint about specific actions of that devilish mischief maker. I won’t go into them here; it’s not the place, but I’m referring to serious matters, not trifling annoyances. Of course, I first went to Fr. Pf. to have him brush me off.
I was last at OLMC in September for Mr. Pfeiffer’s funeral. The dabbler in dark arts made no public appearance at Mass or on the grounds, his wheels were stashed behind the barn and I caught glimpse of him throwing gravel out the lane.
It’s occurred to me Fr. H. is afraid of him because he is privy to certain information.
I want no part of it. I just need to hear a 100% break with the man and the spiritual damage done on Fr.’s watch.
This is a matter of justice, not a matter of anything personal against Fr. Hewko.
Fr., if you’re reading this, please know I bear no animosity.

He is doctrinally sound. Not a whiff of compromise on doctrine.

Thank for this post Seraphina!
The truth is, most of us love Father Hewko, but we can’t let our guard down over such sentimental affections.
We keep him in our prayers for priests. 🙏🏻

As I said, it’s a matter of justice. Personally, I have nothing against Fr. Hewko. Why should I? He’s never done anything to harm me and if he has anything against me, he hasn’t told me. There was one incident many years ago where I posted something on CathInfo that wasn’t clear. He took it to mean the opposite of what I was trying to say. When I found out, I called him immediately to apologize; he was angry. Matthew took it down for me lest others also be confused or led to believe Fr. Hewko said something wrong. I don’t recall the specifics. I apologized, he forgave, that was the end of it.

Sorry ... didn't catch that without an emoticon.

I like Father Hewko too and consider him an amazing priest, but he definitely misfired on the Moran / Pfeiffer situation and laid a huge egg. I also find that he was a bit excessively rude to His Excellency Bishop Williamson. Both those traits I feel were Fr. Pfeiffer rubbing off on him, if he wasn't under Santeria influence (no joking there). What I saw was very much unlike the Father Hewko I've always known. Father Hewko tends to be a passive personality and I can see him being rolled over on by Pfeiffer, especially it he had been under some kind of spell from the warlock. In any case, I wish I only had the few splinters Fr. Hewko has in his eye compared with the planks that I carry around in my own. Of course, Fr. Pfeiffer himself does not seem to be the same young man I knew at seminary. He used to be a very light-hearted, jovial individual with a great sense of humor and a nice smile. I don't recognize this recent version of him. Perhaps the tragedy affected him (though some people say Pablo had something to do with that also), but I honestly feel as though he's under some kind of spell. He's not the same man I used to know, not even close, and people don't change THAT much. And Father Timothy Pfeiffer (his brother), I considered to be a saint.
-
He is doctrinally sound. Not a whiff of compromise on doctrine.
Fr. Hewko's doctrine on the pope and heresy, however, is problematic. His position most closely resembles Opinion No. 3 of the Five Opinions expounded upon by St. Robert Bellarmine. Opinion No. 3 is the following:
That a pope who is even a manifest heretic is not deposed ipso facto and cannot be deposed by the Church.
This opinion was held by no theologian that I am aware of between Vatican I and Vatican II. However, after Vatican II it has unfortunately become popular. This opinion opposes the Magisterium of Pope Pius XII who taught that the public sin of heresy by its very nature separates the heretic from the Church.

Fr. David Hewko is an amazing priest! I love him.
Bishop Williamson was MORE amazing. Na na na
-
Don't get me wrong, Fr Hewko is a good preacher and he is a good priest, but when he is constantly out to get Bishop Williamson there is that other side to him.
When Moran came out the first thing you see is Moran's sermon about himself which was jaw dropping to say the least,
remember him saying "I'm a very smart man, I knew president Nixon". The next thing you found out was the website that showed he was accepted as a schismatic bishop. Then Fr P does an investigation and he says Moran was bi-religiously consecrated a bishop, in Chicago, by 1 schismatic bishop and 2 NO bishops as part of an ecuмenical thing. So at the time Fr P and H stood by this. They hid Moran for awhile but then it was found out Moran was staying at some wealthy benefactor's of Fr P and H.
If Fr Hewko can bark about Bishop Williamson then I can bark about Fr P and H promoting an bi-religious bishop. Is Fr Hewko still okay with schismatic/NO bishop (supposedly never really proven as one) or did he express total regret for that farce?

The programming is deep for someone who sees a bigger problem with BpW than either Moran (where is he and who is he preying on now?) or the OLMC operation.

is starting a convent for nuns?

No. He says he’s looking for one, and I think he really is, but he wants one to meet his qualifications on every issue down to the smallest detail. That means he is highly unlikely to find one. A person who cannot bend his will to authority will not find true authority. The best he can do is perhaps find a young, independent, cancelled, pipe-cleaner of a bishop who he can bend, however, that won’t work, because the trait of authority will be absent.
IMO, (and that’s all it is, my opinion), Fr. Hewko should continue with his oratory, house of prayer, and if he acquires the adjacent property, establish a similar oratory for women. Continue teaching the basic catechism, theology, moral theology, church history, Latin, bring in people to help teach practical skills like building, agriculture, animal husbandry, cooking, canning, sewing, etc. Become as self-sufficient as possible. If God wants a traditional seminary and convent, He will provide. Without a solid bishop, it will not last.
He needs to drop the issue of +Bp. Williamson except to pray for the repose of his soul. When the epistle and gospel are virtually forgotten and his Mass sermon turns into a 20+ minute screed against a man already gone to his judgment, it says more about Fr. Hewko than about Bp. W! So what if someone said Bp. W. had a Mona Lisa smile in his coffin? That’s no reflection on Bp. W. Blame the undertaker! Please do not use Bp. W.’s seminary materials at the same time as railing on him in his final years. Has it occurred to his detractors that Bp. W. was showing signs of mental decline due to old age? One needn’t be obviously senile to suffer from neurological loss. Signs were there that I noticed starting in about 2016.
Reminders ARE needed about pitfalls to the Faith, be they Bp. W., other traditional clergy, the novus ordo, and the world, but sermons need to adhere to the main business of the Church, the salvation of souls. Preach the gospel in season and out of season.
Churches or organizations based upon “what’s wrong with where we came from” do not last. Once the founding engines have run out of fuel, they sputter and die. I speak here from personal experience among Protestants and especially, Amish and Mennonites. Think also of bankers and people who handle money. Very little time is spent studying counterfeiting. Those who continually handle the real thing know when a fake comes their way. A person whose soul is immersed in Scripture, tradition, and prayer spots phonies when they insert themselves.
Knowledge of both is necessary, but immersion is needed in the true. You don’t teach young men to reject impurity by studying it. You raise them up by living immersed in purity.
Are traditional Catholics really departing in droves from the SSPX and other trad. groups into the novus ordo? My observation over the last 20 years is that those who depart the true Faith are (1) cradle trads who leave home, and (2) who leave religion altogether for the world, not for the novus ordo or any other religion. If I’m wrong, please correct me. I’m merely
sharing what I’ve observed.
In a sense, Bp. W. is proving correct in saying that it is not time for seminaries. The fact that shouting bishops cannot be found supports it. There is a proper time to shout from the mountaintops and a time proper to silence. Think of the prophet Elias who fled into the wilderness. He had to wait on God to speak, and when He did, it was in a still, quiet voice, not a shout.
If Fr. Hewko can perhaps start oratories, make and female, maybe even a truly Catholic community organized along the lines of the Amish, dedicated to prayer, would that not create a Catholic “city on the hill” for the scattered many scattered traditional Catholics without Mass, Sacraments, and priest to emulate, or, at least, to give the scattered sheep hope? If a bishop is attracted, then, perhaps, God will move to create a seminary with certainly ordained priests and vowed brothers and sisters?

A Catholic "city on the hill" sounds quite nice, thanks for sharing this, first we just need to get everyone an American passport. This is a new perspective on Bp Williamson's comments which i haven't heard before, Fr Hewko is a little harsh on Bp Williamson but I think he is entirely correct about the new mass and new mass miracles. Maybe it is a time both for shouting from the rooftops and for prayerful silence but those are tasks meant for different people. Only time will tell.

Does Father Hewko have a Bishop to put himself under obedience?
He's working on Bishop Bellini
-
IF, (all Caps) if +B is still involved with FrFake, Fr. Hewko will use FrFake as FODDER, if you know what I mean...
Is Fr H speaking about Kerry lately.. as the story has now hit the proverbial fan.:facepalm:
-
Fr Hewko needs a Bishop, and unless he goes down the road of Pfeiffer and Tetherow and "solves" the problem by making himself one,
he needs to stop being so unnecessarily critical ( especially to the deceased) and cooperate with a valid Bishop.
I hear he is "courting" Bellini.
Other than his blinding obstinacy on this matter, he is a very good priest.

Seraphina,

'Fr Fake's is a man, possibly a priest, named Kerry (aka Ciaran).

I think that is supposed to refer to "idols"- not valid Bishops.
Could it possibly be that Hewko is wrong about this?
I was there when Bishop Williamson said his "go to the NO" video from 2015-
I spoke to the lady that he was addressing. She was a guest at the Confirmation , had no understanding of Tradition and was crying when +Williamson stated that the NO would make you lose your Faith.
This is not the type of person you tell to stay home and read your missal until you can get to a TLM. She was totally clueless and felt like the Bishop was telling her to leave Catholicism.
She needed months of conversion/instruction and and immersion and even then it's questionable if she would have understood. To be honest she was holding on to the NO for dear life.
He admitted that he should have never addressed it on camera and that it was a mistake.
Bishop Williamson's fault was in being compassionate in public to a Lady unable to process the Truth , and of course, having it videotaped.
Fr Hewko is too proud to even try and understand.
His homily at his Requiem Mass for Bishop Williamson was just disgusting.

The Novus Ordo is a false, Masonic, man centered religion. It can never be an act of compassion to instruct a soul to remain involved in it no matter how many tears are shed. Participating in false worship is a grave mortal sin. It is precisely the duty of a bishop to point out the errors and bring souls to the truth faith.

+W didn’t have an SSPX Resistance battle plan.
His lose association of Bishops and priests never worked and we see the fruit, it’s lack of organization today.

While fundamentally you are correct, practically speaking Bishops have to deal with people where they are at including all different levels of understanding, all different intellectual capacities and different emotional states and reactions.
He admitted to making a mistake, but his "mistake" was in dealing compassionately with a crying clueless woman in a public venue.
I guess he should have slapped the old lady down and chastised her publicly, which of course he didn't.
Her presence there was incidental with complete misunderstanding of what was going on and what was being said.
Everyone knew Bishop Williamson's positions on the New Mass and His courage fighting for truth against the jews and even the SSPX. No one south of Archbishop LeFebvbre has had the courage and to withstand the barrage of the world for the sake of tradition like Bishop Williamson.
It would be good of Fr Hewko to forgive him, if Fr Hewko has the ability to do it.
Bishop Williamson certainly would have forgiven him Pablo and "Bishop Moran" if he had asked for it.

Read the original quote above again, you will see it is from the "Declaration of Fidelity to the Positions of the Society of St. Pius X"
Also, he is not being cryptic, but he is making an assumption that you are familiar with the controversy that started in 2016 in which the Bishop "advised" the lady.
-
I surmised where it was from eventually- why the repetition?
Willianson didn't advise it in a positive manner - he acquiesced due to her ignorance and circuмstance- and he apologized for it.
Are you that critical of Fellay and all of his concessions?
