Seriously! What is going on with these accused (and in this case convicted?) priests in Tradition?

I guess people are desperate for a Trad priest -- they are rare after all.

BUT when you factor that in, it's all the more horrifying when a GREAT priest, one without a "past", like Fr. Zendejas or Fr. Garcia, has to say Mass for just one family of 8 plus 1 or 2 individuals (which has happened!) That seems like a great travesty -- an injustice.

Has nothing to do with desperation. It's because the powers that be ignore warnings about sodomite predators.

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.

I must make a correction to this post.

Fr. "Angelus" (Philip Ferrara, aka Ferrar) worked with Mr.Tetherow's civil lawyer and the civil court. Mr.Tetherow plea bargained from child porn charges to misuse of a computer and was sentenced to two years in prison. Fr. "Angelus" made it possible for Tetherow to spend his two years imprisonment at his one man monastery.

Fr. "Angelus" also worked with Mr. Tetherow's canon lawyer and submitted a letter of recommendation to Cardinal Levada recommending Mr. Tetherow not be laicized and that his time at his monastery should be accepted as appropriate canonical penance (?).

"Father, the devil is in the mood for engaging in a decisive battle against the Blessed Virgin. And the devil knows what it is that offends God the most, and which in a short space of time will gain for him the greatest number of souls. Thus the devil does everything to overcome souls consecrated to God, because in this way the devil will succeed in leaving the souls of the faithful abandoned by their leaders, thereby the more easily will he seize them."

"That which afflicts the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Heart of Jesus is the fall of religious and priestly souls. The devil knows that religious and priests who fall away from their beautiful vocation drag numerous souls to hell.  The devil wishes to take possession of consecrated souls. He tries to corrupt them in order to lull to sleep the souls of laypeople and thereby lead them to final impenitence. He employs all tricks, even going so far as to suggest the delay of entrance into religious life. Resulting from this is the sterility of the interior life, and among the laypeople, coldness (lack of enthusiasm) regarding the subject of renouncing pleasures and the total dedication of themselves to God."

I hope everyone is disabused of the illusion that Chester the Molester would be trying to pass himself off as a solid traditionalist had he not been run out of conciliarist prietenderhood on a rail.
