Think: Drug connection via Arizona, supposed home of the warlock, state when the two first met long ago. A combination of drugs, (poisoning), blackmail, witchcraft would result in almost anyone coming unhinged. There has been a strange death and several bizarre, unexplainable sicknesses, and normally sensible people becoming entirely devoid of prudence. The latter two have returned to normal after escaping the place. The root cause? Something that happened at OLOS early in Fr.'s priesthood. Exactly what? I'm not sure, but have my suspicions about an incident that occurred there. I cannot say any more because I don't have all the facts. If you still feel so led, pray for Fr. to have his mind restored and for Pablo to cash in his just pay.
Yes, taken together with the details cited by Matthew, the mere fact that Pablo ("el brujo" and "el diablo") dabbled in exorcism without the requisite ecclesiastical authority severely opens him up to be taken over by the very spirits he claimed to have been doing battle with this. Father Ripperger is QUITE CLEAR that it's extremely dangerous to battle with such forces on one's own authority and without that of the Church. When Pablo matched wits with the fallen angels, the outcome would not have been difficult to predict.
And Father Pfeiffer was deeply affected by the SSPX summer camp drowning. I wonder if that happened before or after he came under Pablo's influence (spell?).
I found this online:
I personally knew both Frs. Pfeiffer when I was in the SSPX. I don't know about being a renegade or insubordinate, but he changed ever since he came back from a summer camp in which two boys drowned (1998 . He was severely depressed, wouldn't even speak to anyone, and says Requiem Masses for those boys for the entire month of August (even when the rubrics forbade doing so). I was a sacristan at the time. Some of this may linger in his psychological state to this day.
I wonder if Pablo's disturbing/diabolical presence may have contributed to the incident or if this happened pre-Pablo. Or did Pablo swoop in afterwards when Father in this beaten state could have been more vulnerable and susceptible to his influence.
We certainly need to pray for Father Pfeiffer ... and the intervention of an exorcist may not be entirely out of order.
