  • Remember, these priests that have been thrown out and left on their own have got to be going through personal crisis. Its like having your parents disown you. Physical security gone, Where will I live?, Where will I get food ? Possibly Fr. Hewko attached himself to long to Fr. Pfiffer's group. He possibly felt obligated to stay or had a time of it figuring out how to make a clean exit.
    Try to walk in his shoes. He's a good priest, i've heard him give sermons many times. He's very devout. A resistance priest would do well to take him in . All we can really do is pray for Fr. Pfiffer and his group and hope they come to their senses.

    So there's this objectively evil situation that he is in large part responsible for and he wants to make a stand but he doesn't know where his next meal will come from. Big points for self-preservation, but it doesn't make him a good priest. Disowned by the SSPX? Orphaned? It doesn't mean he will take the right path. Good sermons, charismatic personality, what happened? Here's a few things: the seminary coordinator brings in rated R garbage for the seminarians. The seminary coordinator imposes himself on a certain woman who is intent on founding a convent and with helpful deflections from the likes of Fr. Hewko, her entire life savings are swallowed up in a situation she no longer wanted to be a part of. Fr. Pfeiffer brings in an imposter priest/bishop and even after the most thorough examinations regarding his fake docuмentation are published, he waits 3 years before making the only reasonable decision.

    Where was his holiness when other people really needed it? Where was it when he wasn't saying Mass? No one knows. But when a priest is so reckless as to submit those under his care to his own faulty sense of comfort in the face of obvious corruption, deception and satanic interference, why should anyone listen to what he has to say? And as soon as Fr. Pfeiffer figures out he's not the Bishop in White from the published Third Secret or whatever strange destiny he's got planned for himself, I pray he receives in full measure the justice due him while he still lives before it's too late for his soul. Both of these men have used up all the good will they brought with them as traditional priests. It's too late for Fr. Hewko to play the good cop against Fr. Pfeiffer; he's been complicit for far too long.

  • I wasn't privy to all the details you speak of. We still have to give him a chance to redeem himself. We can't throw him by the wayside. He's still a good priest. He needs good influences around him with the likes of Bishop Zendehaus and Bishop Williamson to help in his reintroduction to a  saner religious realm .

    Fr Voigt would be an example of a good priest in a bad situation who promptly got himself out of it. Fr Hewko not only stayed, he gave legitimacy to the goings on there, he made sure there was always a unified front with Fr. Pfeiffer and Pablo. Sure, you can get the sacraments from him, but don't be fooled by flimsy outward signs of piety.  If he was in the habit of applying the principles he preaches about, he wouldn't be in the trouble he's in right now. In fact, I don't believe the week is up... he's still there, and he might actually stay!

  • Fr. Hewko needs prayers, it is as simple as that and to speculate what will happen is foolish.  He is a wonderful and devout priest who has an edifying devotion to Our Lady.  He has to be given a chance away from that place to see strait again.  It would be wonderful to see him go to a monastery for a while to pray and think.  God bless him for this courageous move.

  • I've been looking for that video sermon from Fr Hewko that was posted a few(?) months back. In it he was questioning the Moran deal.. it was just a short section.. but I can't find it. Anyone else remember that?

    I wonder how long he's been in turmoil? God bless him! He's been under this illusion for so long now. To break free, albeit tainted, is a miracle. Surely a sabbatical, under one of the good bishops would help.. I pray that he will take this step.

  • I see an excessive joy in the Faithful due to Fr. Hewko's statement which is not justified.

    We all had or will have our breaking point with OLMC. St. Joseph will see to that. Moran is clearly Fr. Hewko's breaking point, but how will Fr. Hewko clear his culpability in the things he supported (whether overtly or tacitly)?

    Where is Mr. Greg Taylor and the Recusant in all this? Silence for months. What will be his breaking point?

    There are many reasons to disassociate oneself from OLMC:

    • Moran
    • Fr. Roberts (who is still with OLMC in AZ)
    • "Fr" Poisson
    • "Fr" Tetherow
    • "Fr" Cordaro
    • Pablo and all things Pablo
    • the clear, unnatural attachment between Fr. Pfeiffer and Pablo
    • teaching of heresy
    • deceit
    • no classes to speak of, failing grades, the blind teaching the blind, etc
    • violation of seminary rules
    • Fr. Pfeiffer, still, after seven years, has no superior
    • OLMC = Fr. Pfeiffer
    • Etc.

    Let us be grateful St. Joseph led Fr. Hewko away from a place which is not of God and let us keep up our prayers that he lead more to Truth, but let us keep it in perspective.

  • Thank you so much for stating the obvious.  I think anyone who is up on OLMC knows everything that is wrong with that place.  Like I said to speculate on the future is foolish.  If and when he gets away from that place and has time to pray then maybe he will see clearly on all the issues plaguing Kentucky.  There is even more we could put on his laundry list but what is the point? Give this priest a chance.

  • Isn't Fr. Perez a Novus Ordo rites "ordained priest"?

    Close... he was in multiple seminaries and was finally ordained by the "indulted"
    Institute of Christ the King.
    They didn't assign him anywhere, so he went his own way.

Pfeiffer; he's been complicit for far too long.

    Good points. Fr. Hewko has been complicit in many evils taking place at Fr. Pfeiffer's Boston, KY HQ.

    I've mentioned before, that the faithful (especially women) are often fooled by outward expressions and mannerisms of piety by priests. Men look deeper. God looks deeper still.

    For example, Fr. Timothy Svea (Institute of Christ the King) back in the 1990s had dozens of Trads (again, mostly women) gushing about his piety. He was outwardly very pious. More soft-spoken, didn't joke during his sermons like Fr. Brian Bovee (the other priest posted to the Institute's Rockford, IL location), he was very reverent during the celebration of Mass, had excellent custody of the eyes, talked a good talk about the Faith, etc.

    But fast forward several years, and Fr. Svea fell into a scandal similar to that of many Novus Ordo priests. Yes, THAT scandal. Yes, I'm serious. Go ahead and Google it; it's all public information and public record.

    http://www.bishopaccountability.org/assign/Svea_Timothy_E.htm

    With apologies to Fr. Hewko, they actually remind me a lot of each other. They both have that religious, serious, quiet bearing (like they spent a few years at a monastery), both have a mostly bald head with grey hair, and both are a similar height and build. I'm not saying Fr. Hewko fell (or will fall) for the same particular thing as Fr. Svea, but Fr. Hewko has his own issues like supporting Fr. Pfeiffer in his grave sins.

    Moral of the story: Apparent piety does NOT equal true holiness.

    I know for a fact that not one of the ordinations of the Fraternity of St. Peter were done by an old ceremony consecrated bishop, which is rather odd and stands out as a red flag. I have to assume that it is the same with The Institute of Christ the King. So, Fr. Perez is in a safer position than the Novus Ordo ordained because he was ordained with the old rite of ordination, but he still has a strike against him because the bishop that ordained him may not be a bishop. Personally, I would go to priests where I have no doubts about their consecration.

    Who ordaines a priest, doesn't assign him anywhere and let's him do whatever he wants?  This is a HUGE red flag.  Sounds like he may be a plant; a "rogue trad" priest who just happened to be available to help out Traditionalism.

    At least the outward variety! 


    Thank you so much for stating the obvious.  

    Well, apparently the obvious needs to be restated over an over again before it takes effect on some folks.

    Here's another golden nugget of obvious:

  • Msgr Perez and Cannon Hesse were good friends- kind of in the same boat. Both had Conciliar ordinations- don't know about conditional ordinations for either of them.
