The man you claim to have "know well," to have “worked” for in two locations, to have spent six months at his one-man monastery is about 25 years younger than you have affirmed and he is not in poor health. You are a liar. This lie just happens to be the same lie that Mr. Tetherow has passed along since 1995 in every detail.  Either you got it firsthand from Tetherow or pickled it up from one of the many he has told it to but your version of the story is clearly a fabrication.  Philip Ferrara may still be in prison.  But then, maybe you think he, like his friend Tetherow, is just another victim.

 Why should an established liar be given any credibility when he calls into question and dismisses the proceedings of the criminal justice system's handling of the Tetherow case as nothing more than a “police report” without a shred of evidence? Or calls into question the proceedings of his canonical case that after ten year laicized him based upon the evidence submitted by the diocese of Scranton and Mr. Tetherow who was ably represented? You are defending a convicted felon on child pornography related charges and the burden of proof wholly rests with you to overturn the public record that begins with an admission of guilt from Tetherow.

There are numerous, numerous problems with you post but why address them?  You are a liar and I and everyone reading this thread now knows it.

And yes, I know Fr Angelus as well. Did work for him both in Scranton and Lauraeysville, or however you spell it. Lived the monastic life there for six months. Had more dogs than you could shake a Kong at. I would agree he had mental problems, and maybe really is a molester, though for the life of me I just can't see a 70 year old man... But when I was there he did have health problems. He was on a whole regimen of medications.

Massive truth bombs ahead.
Okay, I have read this entire thread.  I have heard the rat-atat-tat of piddly 9mm machine guns vast and sundry against Fr Tetherow.  I have heard all the silly accusations based on innuendo and rumors and etc.  I have seen all the silly accusations of Fr Tetherow doing everything from shacking up to placing demonic hexes on women to... .  All these accusations appear to have no foundation whatsoever...
(Battleship guns locking into position...)
But there IS a well-docuмented case that has not even been mentioned here, a case that has real victims, sordid, ugly court depositions...
(Stand by to fire...)
And this case has widespread ramifications, ramifications that go all the way to the Vatican...
(five.... four.... )
This case has cut a swath of destruction through the SSPX... FSSP...
(three... Two...)
This case may even have "Pizzagate" ramifications...
(one...)
And this case is the real reason for any angst I might have with Fr Tetherow...
(Hope those blast shields are down...)
But this case is going to give lots of other people angst as well...
(Fire!)
"Emboldened by the apparent support from Rome, Livieres courted controversy in early 2014 by promoting (Fr) Urrutigoity to vicar general—second in command of the Diocese of Ciudad del Este. The decision made international headlines, forcing the new bishop of Scranton, Pennsylvania, Joseph Bambera,  to a local paper’s report on Urrutigoity’s history in the diocese, where he was accused of fondling young men while they slept (he has denied the allegations under oath). The article claimed that Bishop Joseph Martino “allowed” Urrutigoity to transfer to Ciudad del Este. The Diocese of Scranton’s statement, issued March 15, noted that Martino strenuously objected to Livieres’s request to excardinate Urrutigoity, but failed to mention that Martino eventually said he would grant that request. Bambera brought his concerns about Urrutigoity’s promotion to the attention of Pope Francis, according to a spokesman for the diocese. “In so doing, Bishop Bambera’s participation in this matter ceased.” The bishop refused to comment further."

So, who is Fr Carlos Urrutigoity?

This man first came on the radar at the SSPX seminary in Argentina.  He was accused of seducing a fellow seminarian and, after the predictable storm, was transferred to the seminary in Winona Minnesota I think about 1992, but I am not absolutely sure.  At any rate, in 1997, under a storm of controversy, Fr U left Winona and...

"On May 24, 1998, less than a year after the former members of SSPX arrived seeking to return to the Catholic Church, Bishop Timlin established the Society of St. John as a 'public association of the faithful,' a designation granting them certain rights under canon law. The bishop held a series of meetings with members of the society, now officially led by Urrutigoity, to work out the organization’s mission. Their ambition was to establish a community for Catholics committed to the rites of the 1962 Roman Missal—that is, the unreformed Latin rites—a Catholic liberal-arts college, and a Catholic village. Timlin approved their plan, even though he had not run background checks on any Society of St. John members, nor had he reviewed their seminary formation records."

It is claimed that Bishop Fellay warned Bishop Timlin in 1999 about A) Fr U's perversions and B) Fr U's "Guru like" relationship with former seminarians at Winona. Bishop Timlin was told by Fr U that the allegations were all false.  Then came the "Society of St John".

If you really want an eyeful of events that would do any supermarket tabloid proud, just wade through the sordid testimony of the victims of Fr U at Shohola, the testimony about misallocation of funds, and the testimony of priests living like jet-set playboys while passing themselves of as a quasi-monastic group.  (Talk about "Dessert Fathers"... )

It is absolutely incredible that actual sworn testimony of multiple victims from multiple countries just bounces of this priest's chest as though he were superman, while priests like Fr Tetherow are lambasted by "guilty pleas" when not a single person witnessed him committing a crime.  Fr U gets a free pass to Ciudad del Este by simply denying all the allegations under oath? (So much for the integrity of "court systems", huh?)

And then just guess what happens in South America, under the auspices of this "Vicar General"...

So, you can line Fr Tetherow against the wall.  Yes, his friary was under the same roof as the Society of St John, at the FSSP headquarters and boarding school at Elmhurst, PA, in the diocese of Scranton, for a time.  But the "guilt by association" problem also encompasses Bishop Fellay, Bishop Williamson, Fr Marshall Roberts (who was, I believe, the priest at the York Pa chapel of Sts Peter and Paul before Fr Tetherow came to town), Fr Cordaro (an "independent" priest I know in Scranton), Pope Benedict, and Pope Frantic, and many others.

Fr U appears to be the tip of a very, very, very hideous iceberg.

I will close this post with a personal experience...

Once upon a time, when my family was moving (I'll spare the gory details) Fr Cordaro invited us to watch his residence while he attended to duties at a chapel down South (Florida or Louisiana, I forget which).  He left the Blessed Sacrament in repose while we were there.  At the FSSP of St Michaels in Scranton, which I had attended and was on the scola there for years, one Fr O'Leary found out about it, and said we were in violation of canon law.  So I went down and asked him to cite specifically what canons we were in violation of... no reply.  I went down to the chancery office and inquired about Fr Cordaro, and was told more or less that he was some pervert associated with Shohola, but no docuмentation was forthcoming.  I call the district office in Elmhurst and talked to (I cannot even recall the name of that superior, the post was a revolving door at the time, and I'm not going to bother to look it up.)  the superior and he told me it was a problem for the diocese.  Meanwhile, the diocese told me the problem was for the FSSP to resolve.  Meanwhile, Fr O'Leary banishes my parents from the chapel as some sort of public sinners and my mother is practically in tears and here acquaintances there are shunning her and I attended Mass at St Michaels and the people were looking at me as though I was Adolf himself.  Fr O'Leary insists he wants to remove the Blessed Sacrament from Fr Cordaro's residence.  I say "fine, just contact Fr Cordaro".  Fr O'Leary refuses to contact Fr Cordaro; Fr O'Leary continues to lambaste me and my family.  The climax was when Fr O'Leary pays a call to Fr Cordaro's residence with a St Michael's parishioner in tow, and insists he is going to remove the Blessed Sacrament.  I asked him if he contacted Fr Cordaro.  He said he had not.  I told him he was not going upstairs (to the chapel) and I did not care what "authority" he said he had from the diocese (which the diocese denied, saying he was under the authority of the FSSP). The only thing that saved Our Lord that day was Nanuk, my Siberian husky.  Now, Nanuk would not hurt a fly... this was a happy go lucky dog for whom the whole world was just one big friendly wolf pack... but the look he gave Fr O'Leary convinced that man it was time to turn around and leave.  But not before he turned to me and said..."Well, I excommunicate you..."  
Now, most of the Novus Ordo Sheeple out there would gasp in horror, but any real Catholic knows a priest has absolutely no authority to do such a thing. I confronted the district superior of the FSSP with this fact.  He said it was a matter for the diocese.  I said that this is your priest, and your problem... what are you going to do about it?   Nothing but silence.  I told him that the only function you perform is to keep a chair warm at the district office...right?
Ladies and gentlemen, it is up to us, the laity, it appears.  But we have the laywoman of laywoman as our head, as our commandress.  After all, she was never consecrated, never ordained, never presented with the instruments of the clergy, never instituted an exorcist (though she is the terror of demons) and not even tonsured.  She is, of course, Our Lady, Co-redemptrix and Mediatrix of all Graces.

Let us fight this war with the sword of truth.  The whole truth, and only the truth, no matter where it leads.

In the Holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary

Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us, you are only hope.

So I give my name, and nobody believes me?  At any rate, if all this stuff is so docuмented, please provide proof.  No, I am not going to post contact information etc.  But it seems to me that at least some of you are posting from the York Chapel, Sts Peter and Paul, I think.  You don't know me; you know nothing of my background, and so you are making inferences as to things you know nothing about.  At any rate, ask Fr Ken Novak who I am, or his brother Lawrence, or Fr Cyprian, or Fr Gizmondi, or half the people at St Vincent's in Kansas City, or Dickinson TX, or El Paso, or Boston Kentucky, or St Michaels in Scranton, or and etc.  But let me continue.  I do know there was a lot of bad blood between the York Chapel and Fr Tetherow.  I know the chapel basically split over the issue.  And now I, who am telling the truth and trying to get to the truth, have to be bombarded by rancor from people that obviously orbit this post like Darth Vader searching for Klingons.  I can offer that up to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.  For people like Miss Auxiliadora to make posts based on a coincidence inferring that I am some sort of fellow pervert traveler is appalling.  You are slaughtering your integrity in plain sight. If this is representative of the quality of people who post here perhaps Bishop W is right after all and I might as well set up a hermitage on tops of Mt Peale and just be done with it until I see the mushroom clouds on the far horizon.  As for Fr Angelus, no, everything I said is true.  I am not saying he is or was angelic.  He tried to curry favor to the the powers that be and failed.  I was not there with the incident concerning Fr Angelus and the youth, so I cannot comment.  Yes I am aware of Fr Tetherow's background and yes it is appalling, but so was ST Augustine and St Magdalene if you will recall.  I am not so much defending Fr Tetherow in particular as the Catholic priesthood in general.  If, Mr Drew, you have all this damnable information, why did you not post it in your open letter?  (Can I assume you are the author?)  I read that letter some months ago.  You are going to impugn a priest based on a police report where Fr Tetherow very well may have had grave pressure placed on him to "confess".  Ever hear of the "brownstoning" technique?  Ever hear of somebody's reputation being smeared with lies and etc.  This society is operated by criminals with a satanic hatred for Holy Mother Church, so perhaps you should not jump to conclusions without knowing all the facts.  Obviously people are making flaming leaps to draw conclusions about me without knowing any of the facts.
Never did I claim that Fr Tetherow is not a pervert.  But if you are going to make accusations of this nature you had better back them up.  I am not making stuff up to defend either Fr Tetherow or Fr Angelus.  Perversion is rampant in the Catholic Church, probably going back generations.  I am of the opinion that when it all finally hits the fan, many people are going to gasp in unbelief.
I am not saying that Fr Tetherow did not mislead you.  He has mislead people and told lies.  I know that for a fact.  But I could fill a greyhound bus with all the priests who have told me lies vast and sundry, from SSPX, FSSP, and elsewhere.  That is tragic.  And I do think there are predators out there in Tradition.  We must be careful these days.  
But this will be my last post on this thread unless somebody wants to have a truly constructive dialog, and not one filled with petty rancor.  In the meantime, we must pray for all the clergy vast and sundry.
(Meanwhile, as we say in bomber command, if you're getting flak that means you're close to the target. :jumping2:)
Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us, you are our only hope.
