OLMC is very tolerant of queers.

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?[/color]

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.
