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.

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?

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.

Is this the best you have?

1. Exactly how is Fr. Hewko undermining the Texas chapels?

2. 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.

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?

 2. :laugh1::laugh1::laugh1: :facepalm: Well you're not going to bite the hand that feeds you I suppose.

1. I get he probably shouldn't mention the Bishops by name. But to be fair he has come along since the last few years.
