Well, sorry MC, but this pretty much puts the cap on the outhouse as far as I'm concerned. I had hopes that OLMC might recover from the Ambrose debacle, but this looks like the death rattle. If Frs P and H are KNOWINGLY sending a CONVICTED LAICIZED PERVERT to serve their faithful and mingle with their seminarians--then I don't see any coming back from that. Get your brother the H out of there and drag Fr Hewko with you - straight to the de-programmer!

Tetherow was LAICIZED. He is no longer able to offer any sacraments even privately, only to absolve in danger of death.

Well, could it be then that Fr. P was referring to another "Fr. Tetherow?"

There is only one "Fr. Tetherow". His father has the same name but there is no other priest by that name.

I just sent an earnest, heartfelt plea to Fr. Hewko.

That's Fr. Hewko at fr.d.hewko@gmail.com

I said what needed to be said, and was very charitable. I told him we are praying for him, and many other things.

Quote from: Matthew
When the Conciliar Church thinks a priest needs to be laicized, that really says something about him!

Not to take away from your point because I agree that we shouldn't be dealing with him, but I do wonder if the laicizations today are a bit candy-coated like the annulments. Not that I have any better solution, I really don't know what ought to be done with pedophile priests. But did laicization happen before now? I can't help wondering if a holier and more faithful Papacy would come up with a better solution that kept people safe but didn't minimize/disregard the eternal character of the priesthood.

Yes, they can strip you in a blink of an eye which doesn't say much for their orders. Our priest was threatened with "excommunication" if he didn't leave the "Schismatic" (independent) chapel and sign the "P.F." and "O.F. to the pope" ("Doctrinal Preamble") which they sent to him by mail. He refused to leave and they did it. Then they threatened to laicize him and they did it without a canonical process (Letters on the webpage). He has also been conditionally re-ordained.

"Fr. Tetherow" canonical process went on for years. We found the evidence and incriminating pictures. "Fr. Tetherow" will always blame "his enemies", as Matto suggests. We believed that for years. We pray for his salvation. I did the 30 Holy Communions personally for it. So...there!

The two oldest boys of the main family who supports him have lost the faith. I prefer not to go into it. They were pious altar boys when they left the Mission. The next three children in line (teenagers) are now in the public schools and their mother hasn't spoken to her sister (a traditional Catholic) for years because she knows what "Fr. Tetherow" is.

There are rumors spread by his enemies but who knows what is true.

I don't think we can dismiss it that easily.

1. We heard Fr. Pfeiffer speak about his "friend priest Fr. Tetherow" with his own mouth, posted on his own channel.

2. We looked up Fr. Tetherow, and there are the facts large as life.

http://www.dioceseofscranton.org/notice-regarding-dismissal-of-gabriel-tetherow/

3. We also have the testimony of one local to the area (Maria Auxiliadora) who attests that there is only (1) Fr. Tetherow in the area.

Sorry, but I don't think we can just shrug this off as so much Internet rumor. I wish we could!

P.S. It's really hard to generalize about "the Internet" when you're talking about 3.17 billion people. You might as well try to generalize about people in general.
