First, Ambrose. Now, Tetherow.

Apparently, somebody has never heard of a screening process.

We have to ask ourselves WHY Fr. Pfeiffer keeps bringing in these types.

1. He is scraping the bottom of the lake, trying to dredge up independent priests that no one has discovered or accounted for yet. That's a tough task! They don't just spring up like mushrooms. There are only so many trained Trad priests out there; and they all have jobs right now (unless they're too old to say Mass).

2. He is motivated to "search out" undiscovered new Trad priests/bishops, because he has isolated himself. He is isolated because he rejects -- and attacks -- any independent/Resistance priest or bishop that doesn't want to submit to his authority and join the OLMC (SSPX-MC), which to him is the entirety of the Catholic Church, full stop. To Fr. Pfeiffer, you must be in union with him or you are an illegitimate, rogue schismatic group! Just look up the definition of schism: rejecting the authority of the Pope. And he is the Pope! So... (that's how his logic goes anyways...)

2b. To elaborate on Father's self-isolation: For example, Father doesn't get along with any Resistant priests who agree with +Williamson's strategy of a loose independent network. Fr. P wants another SSPX, and RIGHT NOW! Also, Father has such extreme rhetoric, he's not going to get very far with any existing SSPX priests -- most would hang up the phone on him, I'd imagine. And although his mind is already Sedevacantist, his heart and emotions still repel this position. He is Sedevacantist, but he doesn't know it yet, so he's also quite harsh against Sedevacantism. So he can't associate with any priests/bishops with that opinion. Who does that leave?

3. What Father doesn't realize is that there ARE NO GOOD TRAD PRIESTS OR BISHOPS UNACCOUNTED FOR. They all have Mass circuits, they are all known quantities. You're not going to bring out of the woodwork another legitimate Trad bishop, for example. If he's been hiding all these decades, he really needs to stay in hiding, know what I mean?

Quote from: Maria Auxiliadora

When the KC, MO SSPX lawyer asked me where Tetherow was before he came to York, I could not remember the name of the ONE man tiny “Monastery”. Looking up the priest name I found this article:

http://independentweekender.com/index.php/2011/03/23/priest-accused-of-sex-assault/

This is the priest that Mr.Tetherow, after being in York for two months spent the next two years with. While there, he communicated regularly with one or two members of SSP&P chapel. He told everyone “he had to go to that Monastery to help an invalid priest who needed someone to say Mass for him, take care of the farm animals…”

Only after a year+ after reading this article we read the canonical case and found out it was this Fr. “Angelus” (Philip Ferrara), who had petitioned to Cardinal Levada to allow Mr. Tetherow to spend the 2 years probation at his (T’s) request. At the end of the two years, he was eager to come. But he never mentioned the word probation.

Fr. “Angelus” was sentenced to jail a few months after this article.

The two queer massing priests are part of a larger coven.

We have to understand that point, there's a network.

And we need to know exactly how Tetherow came to know Pablo/pfieffer?

Quote from: Tiffany

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.

Not saying the info is wrong.  But I would hardly cite Andrew Greeley as a source.  He is a renegade.  You folks do recognize his name, right?  And about something as saucy as this topic, of all things.  Doesn't he have some quite explicit writings to his credit?  Same Fr. Andrew Greeley, right?
