Apparently there was some legal action in March 2018. Not sure if it is still ongoing.

But this is obviously public record, so it can be posted anywhere and everywhere.

Fr. Marshall Roberts
vs.
Mr. John Pfeiffer

In my opinion, I have SERIOUS doubts that Mr. Pfeiffer (a lawyer, I believe) would just, out of malice, make up all these things about Fr. Roberts. Why would he have such an axe to grind against a Trad priest. What, did Fr. Roberts run over his child, or at least his dog? What motive does Fr. Roberts suggest for Mr. Pfeiffer making all this up? I suppose something along the lines of, "He's pure evil, a child of the devil"? Give me a break! Let's be realistic here.

And it's not like Fr. Roberts had a reputation beyond reproach before Mr. John Pfeiffer came along. It's a fact that Fr. Roberts was with the Society of St. John, and a lot of scandals happened in that group. A lot of which is public record. AT LEAST there should be a cloud of suspicion over Fr. Roberts.

One can only imagine how much in legal fees and costs have already been generated over the last year with apparently no end in sight.

One can only imagine how much in legal fees and costs have already been generated over the last year with apparently no end in sight.

Makes one wonder if fr. Pfeiffer informs benefactors where their money is spent.
I know for a fact he refuses to open his books when legally requested.  You've got to file a suit if you want to see his books, and there will be no guarantee you see the real books.
Do people know there isn't an OLMC "seminary" or "convent" 501c3?  That none of their donations are tax deductible?  Do they know OLMC doesn't have a bank account, that all money goes through an account in Mr. Hernandez' name?

One of these days a benefactor is going to get randomly audited by the IRS (it happens, you know! Just not for those who make less than $50,000 a year. There just isn't enough potential payoff to make it worth the IRS effort of an audit), maybe they donated several thousand to OLMC which they deducted as a charitable contribution, and then the crap is going to hit the fan.

Mr. John Pfeiffer's lawyer (which might have been himself, since he is a lawyer) must have had a field day with this one.

All he'd need to do is show evidence, on the Internet and elsewhere, that suggests Fr. Roberts was not a "respected clergyman" as of dates that precede whatever statements John Pfeiffer made (specific exhibits that Fr. Roberts put forward as evidence against him).

I accidentally downthumbed this, when I meant to quote it.  Sorry.  But as admin you can fix that :-)

Indeed, the entire grounds for the suit is the damage done to Father Marshall's "reputation".  In point of fact, Father Marshall had LONG been under suspicion well before the statements made by John Pfeiffer.

Hi,
I realize this is an old thread, but I found it from googling Fr. Marshall Robert's name.  I was prompted to do some research when my parish which is in the Jackson Diocese sent out the following statement:

Statement on Fr. Marshall Roberts -- The Diocese of Jackson has issued the following statement yesterday:  

Father Marshall Roberts, an incardinated priest of the Diocese of Scranton, has reportedly assumed residence in Water Valley, Mississippi in the Diocese of Jackson. Since January 2005, Father Roberts has been unlawfully absent from priestly ministry in the Diocese of Scranton and does not have permission to exercise priestly ministry outside of the Diocese of Scranton. Furthermore, Father Marshall Roberts does not possess the faculty to validly hear confessions. Any inquiries about the priestly ministry of Father Marshall Roberts are to be directed to the Vicar General of the Diocese of Jackson: Reverend Lincoln Dall Chancery Building 237 E. Amite Street, Jackson, MS 39201 - 601-960-8476.

This brought-up many thoughts and feelings for me because our bishop, Joseph Kopacz, is also from the Scranton Diocese.  Bishop Kopacz knew that Fr. Lenin Vargas was defrauding parishoners at my home parish in Starkville, MS, and he did nothing to protect our parish.  I am so angry and unhappy with the bishop's response once some clergy went to the authorities and the investigation began.  He allowed Fr. Lenin to devastate our parish, and we have no recourse to even complain to church hierarchy about our bishop.  I would like to write to church oversight, if it exists.  Does anyone have any suggestions short of writing Pope Francis?
