Guess who?

This was drawn by a Dougherty brother.

This person certainly has a talent for caricatures -- exaggerating certain prominent features of a person in a cartoon drawing.

I think it really captures his essence.

NOTICE FROM THE DIOCESE OF hαɾɾιsBURG
The Diocese of hαɾɾιsburg has recently been informed that Virgil Bradley
“Gabriel Francis” Tetherow, formerly a priest of the Diocese of Scranton, has
been dismissed from the clerical state by the Holy Father, Pope Francis.
In January of 2005, Bishop Joseph F. Martino removed Mr. Tetherow from
any public ministry when the Diocese of Scranton learned that he had been
arrested for possession of child pornography, for which Mr. Tetherow was
later sentenced to two years’ probation.
Most recent indications are that Mr. Gabriel Tetherow has been serving at
Saint Michael the Archangel Chapel in Windsor, Pennsylvania. This Chapel
is not affiliated in any way with the Diocese of hαɾɾιsburg or with the Roman
Catholic Church.
Because Mr. Tetherow has now been removed from the clerical state, he
is forbidden to function as a priest in the Catholic Church and should no
longer present himself as a priest. His celebration of the sacraments would
be gravely illicit and, in the case of marriage and sacramental absolution,
normally invalid.

Quote from: Motorede

Sorry. Instead,search: Off my knees+ Fr. Gabriel.

Since my husband's first retraction, we found evidence of his addiction to pornography which led to the child pornography and admition that in fact he meant to do it. No accident.

He is a con artist with acting training (small parts in one or two movies, I don't know more), speech lessons...and a Calvin Kline model. We found out after his dismissal from SSP&P that he showed some women in the chapel pictures of his modeling underwater. We were told by one of the husband's. He also showed such pictures or/and his "Mr Oregon" pictures to a priest who was visiting and who was greatly disturbed by it.

A woman at the chapel gave me a paper copy of a vain interview he gave to a Lancaster, PA magazine with a very effeminate picture. The magazine figured out who he was and immediately deleted the article. He was a "traditional" priest then. We didn't find out he was a ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ until an elderly priest told me two days before his dismissal and he told me he had warned one of the families that followed him.

Anyone giving him the benefit of the doubt will repent some day as we did.

I have done some research in this matter. Although a David M. Drew offered testimony on behalf of this Father Tetherow, he may have also withdrawn his positive testimonial. I am reading more about this, and getting a time line in order.

Nevertheless, this matter is a grave concern, one which I must ask Father Pfeiffer about. I hope and pray that this situation is not as dire as it seems.

MC,

While you're researching yet another "Boston, KY PR crisis", please ask Father Pfeiffer to advise how many times Fr. Tetherow was on the OLMC property?

What year(s) did he visit and how did Father become acquainted with him?

These are reasonable questions Father should come forth and answer.

Thank you.

PS As with Bp. Marrano, the appearance of such characters leads us to suspect
that "pablo" is in charge of OLMC's religious recruitment program? :scratchchin:

First, Ambrose. Now, Tetherow.

Apparently, somebody has never heard of a screening process.

OLMC is very tolerant of queers.

I am thinking Pablo gets way too much credit and Fr Hewko not enough. I am grateful to those who still have hope for Fr Hewko and are willing to plead with him. Maybe they can make up for the anger I am wrestling with. For me, he and Fr Pfeiffer are as guilty as the other. There is *nothing* keeping Fr Hewko there and going along with the madness but his own will. He left the SSPX when he saw fit, he could leave Fr Pfeiffer if he saw fit. But he hasn't. At this point he is as guilty as Fr Pfeiffer even if he is "simply" a follower or an enabler or whatever other excuses being made for him.

I wonder why the NO dismissed him when so many others they moved around and give passports to so they escape legal proceedings. Was it because the law enforcement convicted him? So many others law enforcement did nothing even though reports were made.

His canonical case explains that it was 'because he actually admitted it to the local authorities'

Quote from: Fr. Andrew Greeley

But even in Chicago, the ring of predators about whom I wrote in the paperback edition of “Confessions” remains untouched. There is no evidence against them because no one has complained about them and none of their fellow Priests have denounced them. Those who have been removed are for the most part lone offenders who lacked the skill to cover their tracks. The ring is much more clever. Perhaps they always will be. But should they slip, should they get caught, the previous scandals will seem trivial…. They are a dangerous group. There is reason to believe that they are responsible for at least one murder and may perhaps have been involved in the murder of the murderer. Am I afraid of them? Not particularly. They know that I have in safekeeping information which would implicate them. I am more of a threat dead than alive.

MA,

Since you know of this priest and you live in the area do you have any idea why the Resistance group in Philadelphia would accept this man instead of a real priest? Do they not understand that he is defrocked? Do they not recognize the authority of the Pope in this matter?

I'm as baffled by that as I am the Colorado and Minnesota groups inviting Moran to their missions.

It sounds like he took a plea deal on a different charge. There are so many cases though where the NO has covered things up and law enforcement did nothing. The PA dioceses are against statute of limitations reform too.

Some people take rigid positions on things that don't call for it, and take lax positions on things that do. They end up digging a hole for themselves and, rather than climb out when its shallow enough, they end up deeper and deeper, until they are finally so deep that it takes a miracle of grace to get them out.

From the sermon it sounds like they are driving to him.

Good question.

I would think it meant he wasn't "playing ball" with his superiors or had gone off the deep end. :thinking:

Marrano's hook-ups didn't happen by chance.
Rather it is all is being arranged from the rectory at OMLC, which is the seat of the Mexican.
These schemes can all be traced to his laptop/server in the main room.
