Well, count on Fr. Pfeiffer, this Tetherow matter will simply get him talking faster and longer. He'll merely accelerate the rhetoric. He'll start talking so fast and so furiously that the only phrase the average person will understand is: "We're standing with the truth."

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.

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.

I know many rumors are true. But I hope it is not true.

Dear cathinfo

Fr Tetherow is also on Bishop Accountablitiy
What caught my eye was an arrest in West Orange NJ at At Anthony of Padua
This is the original chapel Fr Wickens started and was turned over to the diocese of Newark after his death.
Fr Tetherow also states he was Mr Oregon sometime after high school on his classmate account
Fr Tetherow has also been serving a small chapel in southern NJ.
Also, in 2013 his name appeared on your site on an anonymous thread.

There is a lot on this ex priest, keep digging.

The Diocese of Scranton, Pennsylvania, has advised the
Conference of its concerns regarding Fr. Gabriel Francis (Virgil
Bradley) Tetherow, an incardinated priest of the Diocese who
was arrested for possession of child pornography in March
2005. Fr. Tetherow’s case is pending before the Congregation
for the Doctrine of the Faith. It has recently come to the
attention of the Diocese that Fr. Tetherow is celebrating Mass
for apparently schismatic group in York, Pennsylvania. Fr.
Tetherow’s faculties were removed and he is forbidden to
engage in any public ministry. Those needing further
information are asked to contact James B. Early, Chancellor of
the Diocese of Scranton, at 570-207-2216.

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.

“An organization calling itself ‘Saint Michael the Archangel
Roman Catholic Church’ has been established in York County,
claiming to offer Catholic sacraments to the Faithful of the
Diocese of hαɾɾιsburg. Notice is hereby given that this is not an
authentic Catholic parish and the priest associated with this
organization, Reverend Gabriel Francis Tetherow, an
incardinated priest of the Diocese of Scranton, does not possess
faculties to celebrate sacraments within the Catholic Church.
There is no connection between this organization and the
Catholic Dioceses of hαɾɾιsburg or Scranton.”

Please don't Google "Mr Oregon". Suffice it to say it's a beauty pageant for leather-clad sodomites.

It's a rare occasion when we ought to follow the directive and example of a Novus Ordo "bishop". The former "Father" Tetherow has been "laicized" and is no longer to function and be treated as a "priest". So now Fr. Pfeiffer must consider the danger MR. Tetherow can bring to his flock. Not only of his pedophilia proclivity, but of the possibility of having invalid sacraments.

Everyone in the Resistance must be warned of the great danger this Mr. Tetherow can bring.

The laicization of this priest is probably just -- let's keep in mind that normally a Catholic can't just disregard the censures of Rome! It's only when Rome wields these punishments illegitimately and unjustly against innocent priests (e.g., Archbishop Lefebvre) that you can disregard things like censures, suspensions, and excommunications. Normally only a protestant flagrantly disregards these actions of the Catholic Church!

So we should respect these censures in the case of Fr. Tetherow, considering they were clearly just. Next, it doesn't take away his priesthood. That is permanent.

The issue TRADS should have with his priesthood is A) the legitimate penalty he has incurred, B) his grave derelicts in his past, and C) the fact he was ordained in the new Rite, and hasn't been conditionally ordained yet.

Here's the picture of Fr. Tetherow:

Matthew · « **Reply #43 on:** March 15, 2016, 09:05:26 PM »

Yes, again and again I see Fr. Pfeiffer, Pablo, Greg Taylor, Maccabees, etc. that whole group engage in the psychological phenomenon of PROJECTION, where a person projects their own faults onto their adversary, and then proceeds to lambast them.

It's kind of like "the pot calling the kettle black", only it's more like "the pot calling the (red) strawberry black." No, the strawberry isn't black, but as a matter of fact YOU are black, Mr. pot!

It's also a modern political technique. Don't go on the defensive; that can make you appear weak and passive. Rather than wait for your adversary to attack you, attack HIM with whatever you are guilty of! That way, if he ends up attacking you, it will seem like a desperate, tit-for-tat, "me too" maneuver.

It's also extremely bold and gutsy -- it takes a lot of chutzpah to pull that off. You also have to be pretty good at lying. Basically it's a Donald Trump kind of move.

1. I don't hate Trump.
2. Yes, I admit that was a cheap shot.
3. I agree that we shouldn't derail this thread, and that goes for me as well.
