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?

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.

 2.  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.

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

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!

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.

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.

Here are a few points for all those jumping all over Fr. Hewko.
