Author Topic: Fr. Pfeiffer mentions a Fr. Tetherow - who? (Read 139319 times)

Someone called Fr. Pfeiffer, and regarding the charges against Fr. Tetherow, Fr. Pfeiffer said, "All lies. None of it's true."

...Just like he said about Ambrose Moran.

History repeats itself.

So yes, he's aware of it.

But even if someone didn't tell me personally that he called Fr. Pfeiffer and asked him about it, I'd guess Fr. Pfeiffer knows, because it's on CathInfo for crying out loud!

Everyone that "matters" in the SSPX and Resistance either reads CathInfo, or has someone keep an eye on it for them -- even if I do say so myself.

Let's be realistic. There is no larger or more popular forum for this topic (Trad Catholicism, the Resistance) than CathInfo.

This is exactly why our friend, the elderly priest has told me: “Don’t you see they don’t want to know because they are not pure of heart?”. THAT IS the bottom line.

Isn't there a penalty for receiving sacraments from a priest who had his faculties removed by the Pope? Why would people defy the Pope? How can a Catholic do that? Isn't that practical sedevacantism?

This is one of the points I made.

I mean, we're Trads I know, and we're used to disobeying the Pope. But not when he suspends/laicizes a priest for ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity. In that matter, the Pope is acting WELL WITHIN HIS AUTHORITY. And if you want to disobey the Pope on a matter like that, you might as well be schismatic Orthodox or a protestant like Luther! They reject the Pope's authority as well.

Fr. Pfeiffer needs to be careful. I suppose one might say that this is one of the main dangers of Traditionalism, compared to "other paths" of dealing with the Crisis in the Church. Getting so comfortable with disobeying the Pope, that it becomes a habit, and soon you do it without thinking, even when you shouldn't.

We have to stay rational and keep our Catholic heads, at all times.

Isn't that rich. A bit hypocritical don't you think? Since when does a layman decide when a pope's authority needs to be obeyed?

I know, I know, when he's a bad dad.......no! Good dad........yes!

I didn't mean to derail the thread, I'm just tired of laymen and clergy being the ultimate decision makers on what papal authority encompasses.

Are we 100% sure that Fr P knew about Tetherow's 'situation' while associating with him?
Is it possibly a case of Fr not doing his homework and not being aware that Mr Tetherow was tossed out of the NO for perversion? If this is the case, I think we may have been somewhat rash here; but even so- OLMC should speak out solidly on the matter. (and soon. Especially, one would think, after the lambasting they gave +W about Fr A.)

Fr Pfeiffer was alerted last spring by one of his seminarians that Tetherow was a convicted pedophile who was defrocked. It was dismissed as being irrelevant.

I spoke with a different seminarian who said that he Googled Tetherow when he showed up mysteriously last year and was creeped out by what he found. He emphasized that he did not do an intensive search but a 5 minute Google.

Frs Pfeiffer and Hewko as well as the Pfeiffer family are totally aware as of today of the circuмstances of Tetherow. I can confirm that. Actions from this point forward will show if it is taken seriously or not.

Well then, that's that.
