I have no opinion on this either way, but have friends who are devoted to Fr. Hewko. What a gorgeous property. (at 3:21)

I wonder who's financing that.

I’m a convert, so don’t know the whole backstory, but live in NH. Do you have more information? Are they currently offering Mass there? Is Fr. Hewko a valid priest? Excuse my ignorance, I’m new.

I can only answer one of your questions. Yes, Father Hewko is certainly a valid priest, ordained about 30+ years ago in SSPX. But one might have to be careful of anyone else he might associate with, since he doesn't have a great track record in that regard.
-
Father was based at a Boston, Kentucky psuedo-seminary/priory for (7) years that was controlled by a Santeria warlock.
Anymore questions?
:popcorn:
-
Forgive me if I missed this bit of info in the video but….
Does Fr Hewko have that tiny,pesky, little detail necessary for a seminary, namely, a Bishop willing to ordain the seminarians? Or is he running this like Pfeiffer ran his “seminary”, pulling “Bishops” off the street, then having himself made a bishop(?)
My understanding was that Fr Hewko has long since burned bridges with all the resistance bishops out there.

Sadly, you are correct. He’s managed to alienate Bp. Williamson and Bp. Zendejas. The last I understand, he approached Bp. Faure, but hasn’t yet had a response. The fact that he stayed so long under the warlock of OLMC in Kentucky concerns me greatly. Attempts to tell Fr. Hewko (and Fr. Pfeiffer) of his abusive, suspicious, and inappropriate behavior were met with dismissal and excuses.
-
And there is no change in his attitude. He is still living the delusion of the sole faithful priest in the whole world continuing Archbishop Lefebvre's Operation Survival and condemning the Fake Resistance as Archbishop Lefebvre surely would have - see his statement 6:25 mark. No bishop, but God will provide! Hopefully not in the way of Fr Pfeiffer. Let us pray that God brings good out of the evil.

In NH, SSPX took over the late Fr. Bolduc's chapel in Gilford and have a mass every Sunday. Also CMRI has weekly mass at a chapel in Salem, NH.
NH Catholics already have 2 great mass options.

Without a bishop, this looks like a wonderful
seminary bed and breakfast!

Yeah, it is basically just a house. Seems like it would be a great place for a family, but perhaps not so much for a seminary ... from looking at the pictures.
As we saw, though, there's a rumor that +Faure was willing to work with Father Hewko and also referred him to +Zendejas. Also during that rumor, it is alleged that +Faure backtracked a bit on supporting +Williamson with regard to the NO Eucharistic miracles, so perhaps the topic came up between him and Father Hewko. Perhaps Pablo could send a fellow lay exorcist up there to help Father Hewko run the seminary.

From what I have seen on here, it wouldn’t be unheard of for the SSPX to sell a property that it was gifted. I sincerely hope that never happens. Bishop Fellay is visiting this weekend, hopefully he will appreciate the property and its potential.
This is a family that visits from time to time about 3 hours north of Gilford. If they offered Mass there is would be a closer option.

Yes, this happens regularly, and they have zero qualms about doing it.
-
Fr. Hewko puts his sermons online, and is perfectly open about what he does. He has repudiated his time in Pfiefferville publicly, and I have more respect for someone who admits he was wrong than someone who self righteously pretends they’ve always been perfect.
Bishop Faure has said he will ordain Fr. Hewko’s seminarians, and encouraged him to start the seminary.
-
Well well well, Wentworth, New Hampshire is 1:20 min. away from the birthplace of Orestes Brownson, the greatest intellect in all of history. Might need to plan a trip to Wentworth given that Stockbridge, Vermont, is just due West. And Fr. Feeney's grave is a little over two hours away. Might need to plan a trip before World War III kicks off.

This^^
I don't recall ever seeing that Fr. Hewko has ever renounced Pablo and his nefarious activities. It's a bit concerning that Bp. Faure may be willing to ordain Fr. Hewko's seminarians.
-
More madness from Fr Hewko. He is a Fr Pfeiffer mark II. No Bishop would work with him. What happened to Sean Johnson's contacting Bishop Faure to confirm what Fr Hewko quoted as being the words of Bishop Faure, as Fr H has been caught out many times deceiving people.
-
A man shoots himself in the foot several times, and then bleeds out, dying "a martyr's death".

Anyone involved with Boston, KY and their "seminary" is automatically suspicious in my eyes. Just because they can, i.e., have a property and willing potential seminarians, does not mean they should. There's too much of that these days.
-
For those who aren't convinced let me say this...my family personally knew Fr Hewko when he lived in Kentucky. My sons spent significant time with him and got to know him out of the presence of parents, faithful, etc. Their experiences were troubling. Let's take Paul H out of the equation for a moment and examine Fr. Hewko as an individual:
-He took minor boys on an extended roadtrip and due to his own poor planning the group was stranded for hours without water. Some boys became ill from heatstroke.
-Failed to intervene in the destruction of the "B" family by being an accomplice in the divorce and staying silent on the installing of Paul H as the new father in the family. Mr. B died without ever seeing his children again.
-Covered up a ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ with AIDS who was grooming children at OLMC.
-Made excuses for the conman Ambrose providing fake sacraments at OLMC. Also, when confronted by the faithful he dismissed their concerns.
-Participated in late night drinking parties in mixed company IN THE PRIORY.
If you are interested in free room & board, 24 hr gym membership, and all the green smoothies you can stomach, go to his "seminary". You won't learn anything and you will never be ordained. By a real bishop.

Good points. I had forgotten about these grievous OLMC events and unrectified situations.
If Paul H. (the occult factor) was truly removed from the equation, I don't think the behaviors of Fr. Pfeiffer & Fr. Hewko would have become so off kilter.
Paul H. and his adulteress, have full access to everything on the OLMC property.
You can bet voodoo malefices are present in the kitchen, the seminary dorm, the sanctuary, tabernacle and altar.
The occult powers of Cuban voodoo makes no exceptions.
Everyone at OLMC is suffering under some form demonic influence brought about by the practice of Santeria.

Paul H. and his adulteress,
.
Really? I was not aware of this. Is this true? Can you explain what you know?

Concerning PH, I observed suspicious behaviors with women, and was myself subjected to inappropriate remarks and actions. When I reported it to both priests, I was brushed off and one accused me of merely repeating gossip. There was a witness to one of the remarks and a witness to a very creepy and inappropriate action. Unfortunately, one of the witnesses was not believed, being an odd fellow who wanders the country on foot and by hitching rides. He hasn’t been heard from in years. The other witness declined to get involved, a relative of the priest.
As for Fr. Hewko, like all religious, he needs a superior under or with whom to work. Because he has neither, he sometimes goes a bit off-track in his online sermons, making occasional statements that his followers take as dogma and use it to rashly judge others who disagree. These usually concern minor issues of outward observance, not dogma. My concern is that Fr. doesn’t take the misinterpretation of his words seriously enough to correct his followers or to at least clarify himself. Souls have been wounded although i’m sure this is not his intent. The fact that he remained at OLMC with PH for so long and didn’t much sooner call out the fake Bishop Ambrose is to me, highly concerning.

I knew Fr. H. pretty well some years back when he was with the SSPX; just asking here, these are serious accusations against a Catholic Priest, are you 100% certain of what you say? No shadow of doubt in your comments? I’m not trying to initiate anything with you so please do not take it that way, but even if true, should these be aired in a public forum? Again, just asking the question, thanks

Um... I also knew Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer (not well, but I met him, knew of him) well before 2012. Dating back to 2000. And he was a totally different man as well! So that says little. Maybe a similar downfall happened with Fr. Hewko? Perhaps due to the diabolical influence and/or curses of a certain Santeria warlock?
But my main point I wanted to say: I see you have been a CI member for 3 years. Incredulous and The Real McCoy have both been here much longer. They are both solid Catholics, Trads, fighters. If either of them said these specific things publicly, then they must be completely sure about these. We're not talking about some unknown rando who signed up for an account 3 weeks ago.
-
I knew Fr. Hewko and Fr. Pfeiffer at STAS-Winona. As seminarians, they were both just orthodox, well-intentioned dudes with idiosyncrasies like most everyone else--no malice, no agenda. In charity, they have both made great prudential errors. So too have I. If they are not directly affecting your state and salvation, pray and sacrifice for them. Let go of anything else as it is of no immediate concern.
-

I wouldn't go that far. First of all, even according to YOU I have reason to concern myself with Frs. Hewko and Pfeiffer. Because they are "at war" with Bp. Zendejas and Bp. Williamson, and doing everything in their power to kill (insofar lies in their power) both the chapel I attend and the larger "priory" chapel in Houston that it depends on. So yeah, that affects the salvation of not just me but my wife and 9 children as well -- and all other Trad Catholics in South-Central Texas.
So yes, this isn't just gossip or talking about something that has no bearing on me or the good of souls.
If we were talking about fallen priests getting married and leaving the priesthood? Yes, I'd agree with you 100%. Pray for them and move on. No good is done by pressing your nose deeply into a cow patty. Just note the cow patty silently, avoid stepping in it, and move on. We had a couple threads like this on CI in the past, and that was the advice given to me by my priest.
But Fr. Hewko didn't leave the priesthood. He is actively preaching, and attacking good priests. So yeah, the word needs to get out that IF YOU HAVE OTHER OPTIONS FOR MASS, USE THEM and beware. Keep AT LEAST both eyes open if you must have dealings with either of these priests.
As for "we've all made prudential errors". Well, I haven't. At least not like they have done! And they haven't repented of their gross errors yet. I'm not saying I'm perfect OR sinless, but to paraphrase St. Paul I am "not mindful of any thing" that I need to publicly recant or repent of, where my prudential mistake caused ongoing public damage up to the present day, and so I need to repair it. Nope, I have ZERO such sins weighing on me. Being free of such sins doesn't make me a saint, but it's a humble start.
-

I'd have to agree with this. I too sense a nefarious influence on Father Pfeiffer (and at least for a time Father Hewko). I knew both of them very well when they were just seminarians, and I agree that Father Pfeiffer has changed dramatically from the Joseph Pfeiffer I knew at STAS. I believe he changed after the drowning accident at the Summer camp, and demonologists generally agree that such emotionally traumatic events render one more susceptible to diabolical influence. As for Pablo's occult activities, there have been several credible first-hand accounts of his activities that cannot be interpreted in any other way than as occult in nature. Pablo himself may have succuмbed to diabolical influences when dabbling with such things in his role as lay exorcist.

I have direct knowledge. I am 100% certain. I have a duty to warn others because I have a family member who was a seminarian there plus all that I witnessed so yes, this should be made public. Seminaries are public institutions. None of what I posted was gossip. I haven't even disclosed everything I know. Perhaps there is more behind +Williamson denying Fr. Hewko help than a refusal to accept "NO miracles".
Anyone who crosses paths with OLMC or attends Fr Hewko's "seminary" can't say they didn't know.
-
I remember Fr Hewko fondly from the early 2010s, he offered mass for us with some regularity. I was always disturbed at his demonstrable lack of judgment as time went on. He was not someone I would have projected to take the route he did.

Exactly how is Fr. Hewko undermining the Texas chapels?
And are you really going to tell us that Bishop Z behaves in an exemplary and holy manner to the priests who work with him?

I added numbers to your 2 questions above.
1. He attacks the "Fake Resistance" as he calls it, so anyone listening to and heeding him would not go to Bp. Z's chapels. I didn't say he was having STELLAR SUCCESS -- I said *insofar as it lies within his power* he would see all Bp. Z's chapels decimated and shut down.
2. Yup, you bet I am.
-
Is this the best you have?
The best what?
We didn't say Fr. Hewko is a walking scandal, or the worst priest ever. Just that there are some non-trivial issues with his prudence, for example. He has shown extremely poor judgment countless times in the past. The aforementioned list items suggest he's NOT fit to be the rector of a seminary, as he lacks the necessary prudence.
He didn't jump ship during Ambrosegate, Pablo the lay exorcist, or other huge scandals at Fr. Pfeiffer's compound in Kentucky. He support Fr. Pfeiffer even in his sinful behavior (attacking good priests/bishops, lying, etc.) It took him YEARS to leave that cult. What does that say about him, and his prudence?

Yes, Bp. Zendejas offers Mass at my chapel.
But even if I had no dealings with Bp. Zendejas, why would I make stuff up? Why would I lie about him and slander his good reputation? I have faults, but lying isn't one of them (Deo gratias).
You act like you're holding some trump card, some ace in the hole against the good bishop. I assure you, whatever you THINK you're holding is made of 100% bullshit, from the pits of hell, via the mouth(s) of Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer, Pablo, and/or Fr. Hewko.
The Pharisees had plenty of ill to speak of Jesus as well. They uttered their blasphemous slander with boldness, force, and confidence. That didn't make ONE IOTA of it true! No matter how many people they taught, no matter how often they repeated their lies, they remained 100% satanic lies with no basis whatsoever.
P.S. You probably haven't even *met* Bp. Zendejas. Even if you did meet him briefly, what you TRULY KNOW about him you could fit in a thimble. What do you truly *know* about him, first-hand? I'm guessing next to nothing. You only "know" what your group has told you about Bp. Z. Which doesn't mean crap, frankly.
I, on the other hand, have spent many dozens of hours over the past 9 years attending his Masses, listening to his sermons, talking with him in person and on the phone. One always ends up with a MORE ACCURATE CONCLUSION about a person when they have ACTUAL DATA about them, rather than mere rumor, hear-say, and slander. Especially when your 99% of your "knowledge" of a man comes from those who have declared themselves his enemies!
-
Is this the best you have?
No

This sounds a lot like how Pfeifferville began. Before the more serious issues that developed in Kentucky, there was always the question of how 1 or 2 priests with no bishop can run any sort of decent seminary.
Everything so far about even the possibility of a bishop has been from the mouth of a source who has proven to be untrustworthy. I don't know why we're considering what he said to be even likely at this point.
-
And are you really going to tell us that Bishop Z behaves in an exemplary and holy manner to the priests who work with him?
Asking this question here, which comes across clearly as rhetorical, constitutes slander unless you have something to back it up. I know very little about +Zendejas, but I know enough to call this out as slander/calumny unless you have some evidence to the contrary.

I agree. I’ve been in his company several times and had a few long conversations with him. As far as I’m concerned, +Zendejas is a good and completely upright person.
-
"blueman" has clearly drunk the kool-aid, either at Pfeifferville and/or with Fr. Hewko. He's an obvious zealot for their cause.
And yes, he has been banned for libel. Vague libel is still libel. Phrasing it as a rhetorical question is still libel.
"Are you saying that Joe Public is an upright Catholic on the road to salvation? Ha!" is certainly saying ill things about an individual and damaging to his good name. It's not very specific, yes, but it's basically shooting a machine gun at his reputation.
When the matter is true, it's detraction. When the matter is false, it's slander (libel if printed).
But like I said, "blueman" was banned for libel.
-
Here are a few points for all those jumping all over Fr. Hewko.
Message me and we will set up a zoom video call.
-
Sorry, User2022, but the truth isn't completely up-for-grabs.
Bishop Williamson does not "promote" the Conciliar Church OR the New Mass. If he did, he'd be very popular in the neo-SSPX! But he was expelled from the neo-SSPX. Use your head for crying out loud.
Pfeiffer/Hewko's lying propaganda doesn't even add up or make sense.
All they have is "Us vs. Them" jingoism, "We're the only TRUE fighters for Tradition", "Avoid our competitors under pain of sin", and "Keep sending US your money". It's vile and pathetic. Our Lord would NOT be pleased. He said we must deny ourselves and follow Him.
How does competing for fame and fortune, jealously "owning" your parishioners, and slandering your fellow priests even REMOTELY resemble anything Christian, Catholic, or Traditional Catholic? Even less does it resemble what we'd expect to find in the end-of-days holy Remnant of faithful Catholics.

Was User2022 just blueman signing back up?

Pray for our priests. They must each be sorely tempted (above that of a layman) by the world, the flesh, and especially the devil.
Even when a priest doesn't go full scandal mode (concubinage, sins against nature, etc.) there are a whole host of comforts that motivate a priest to perpetrate evils such as divisions within Tradition *cough* Fr. Cekada *cough*.
Wanting money, fame, power. Or small, normally licit earthly comforts like travel, art, music, books, eating out, wine, hobbies, etc. When the devil can't get a priest to fall into gross violations of the Sixth & Ninth, he gets him overly attached to one of these smaller "White Rabbits" (see: the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola) that the priest just can't part himself with. His one achilles heel, as it were. Sometimes it's something like "his own will" and/or pride.
The devil uses this like a crowbar.

“It does not matter how small the sins are provided that their cuмulative effect is to edge the man away from the Light and out into the Nothing. Murder is no better than cards if cards can do the trick. Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one--the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.”

Father was based at a Boston, Kentucky psuedo-seminary/priory for (7) years that was controlled by a Santeria warlock.
Anymore questions?

The more I go through this forum the more I find effeminate men who have a Father wound and can’t handle the truth.
