[St Paul]

Except for the many souls who have been chewed up and spat out, and left to pick through whatever scraps are left of their faith.  I know of three people, women, who have had nervous breakdowns after getting involved with OLMC.  There's no humor in that.  

And for:
- the poor souls who are still under fr. Pfeiffer's and pablo's spell
- the "slaves" who are "seminarians" and "postulants" under fr. Pfeiffer and pablo
- the parents of these "slaves"

No humor at all...
Many reparations will need to be made.

this clown does realize that eastern bishops don't excommunicate. They may issue a letter saying that X has been found guilty and has been removed from the priesthood. They have no authority to excommunicate that can only be done by trial and confirmation by the synod.     ...

Why? This whole "drama" between Fr. Pfeiffer, Moran, and Fr. Hewko is equivalent to watching a train wreck in action. It DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for the Catholic cause. It is time we move on from this. 

Yes, it may be a trainwreck, but it's also free entertainment. What a mess the imbecile Fr. Pfeiffer has caused for the Catholic Resistance.
Still, for observers, it is important to see how Fr. Pfeiffer responds, because he is now definitively forced to choose between Moran or Hewko. If he had any sense, we know he would choose Fr. Hewko, but if he did, then he would look quite like an idiot because it would force him to break totally with Moran. And we know he hasn't broken with Moran completely, but only publicly. 

Granted, if he really had sense, he would submit to Bishop Williamson and then we could begin to have a semblance of unity in the Resistance here in the United States...

Ditto. If Fr Pf is still having anything at all to do with Moran, then he is either out of his mind or bewitched.

Or blackmailed. That is what I think.

Yes, I should have said: it WOULD BE funny if it weren't so tragic -- if the welfare of souls wasn't involved.
As someone else said -- I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

When you "do the math", the conclusions are mind-boggling.

When you consider all the insanity and evil Fr. Joseph Pfeiffer has engaged in, if it turns out that Pablo led him into those actions due to some "dirt" he had on Fr. Pfeiffer, one can only conclude: the dirt must be pretty bad indeed!

Let's just say I hope that isn't the case.

For example, if a co-worker of mine had some minor dirt on me, something I'd rather he keep secret, perhaps he could successfully blackmail me into bringing in doughnuts, treating him out to lunch, or something similar. Take it to the next level: say I had flirted with a woman at work. A co-worker might demand a few hundred dollars to buy his silence. But NOTE: he wouldn't be able to get me to sell my house and give him the price of the house, because WORST CASE his material could only result in a divorce, in which I'd lose 1/2 of the value of my house. See what I mean? Each secret only has so much leverage or power, based on the nature of the secret. It's all about how serious it is -- how much harm it could do if people found out.

But now consider this: What if a man was able to get me to sell my property, move across the country, alienate myself from my friends and family (and start attacking them), etc. What level of "dirt" would be required to have THAT ULTIMATE of a hold over me? What kind of material would it take to have THAT kind of blackmail leverage over a man?

If blackmail were involved in Fr. Pfeiffer's case, we'd be talking about that third class of blackmail.

Seriously: what kind of blackmail would it take to force a Traditional Catholic priest to place a man like Pablo (who needs to be checked out by an Exorcist, seriously) in charge of his apostolate? Accepting a schismatic con artist like Ambrose Moran? Favoring priests with "lavender" histories and attacking holy, dedicated priests like Bp. Zendejas and Bp. Williamson?
