Fr. Voigt wanted me to post this for him.

He follows the advice of St. Francis de Sales ("Introduction to the Devout Life") when it comes to defending one's reputation. Namely, you can put the truth out there, to make some defense of your reputation, but then you go silent and leave the rest in God's hands. In other words, you neither have to ignore libel/slander, nor should you get all bent out of shape about it.

Fr. Pfeiffer's  lay assistant(?), Pablo, answered my comment with the following:

"Father Voigt walked out with tens of thousands of dollars in Our Lady of Mount Carmel donations; he stole a new van that was donated to the Seminary and kept the funds. He misrepresented private donations that had nothing to do with him. He told Faithful 30,000 dollars was donated to Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church on the condition matching funds would need to be asked for; this was not true. Two families called me I told them this was not true. Father Voigt leveled several diabolical curses upon my son as he laid dying; filthy diabolical curses amplified through his Priesthood, diabolical curses which my son never recovered from. After Father Voigt cursed my innocent son he went downhill fast. It was Father Pfeiffer and Father Hewko that provided sacraments to him before he died. [Name removed by moderator] you are an asshole. So are your Trad Catholic Pharisee Whited Sepulcher friends. After a proper time of mourning, rest assured I will settle all family business. May dogs find your grave to be a favorite spot to urinate. Arrogant bastard."

Dear Fathers,

This was sent to me and was written by your favorite Mexican and so I believe it presents quite
accurately the thinking of Fr. Pfeiffer who continues to be poisoned by this "boss" of his.  I will
answer the accusations with the facts.

1. Seminary Rectory floor in the dining room - Material cost - $2000  and Labor  $1000 (my donation)
2. New Asphalt first summer in order to preserve the road -   $7500  ($3000 donated from my friend
and $4000 out of my account)
3. New flooring and work done in the school complex ($1000 donated and $1000 out of my pocket)
4. Fr. Hewko desired the water purifier ($1000 from his donor and $3000 out of my pocket).
5. Tools to groom the trees and the lawn ($6000 out of my account)
6. A car for Pablo                                 ($3500 out of my account)
7. A loan to make the basketball court a reality ($22,000 out of my account)
8. Tires for the old Ford Van   ($660 out of my pocket)
9. What about the hours that I worked to have your "priests house " in order only to see it
taken over by your Mexican buddy, pablo the M_exican.  Can you put a price to my physical labor?
10. December 13, 2013 I issued a $10,000 check which Pablo and Fr. Chazal took to you for construction purposes (roof on the seminary) -  there was no thanks and no acknowledgement and my funds did not go to repair
the seminarians' roof.
You have never respected the wishes of the donor.

These are the big facts and there are many little ones: (new tool shed = my last project, tons of
rock for the parking area, use of my Kubota at no charge, woods cleaned for stations, entrance
cleared, a new office structure completed, cleaning out all the closets and working at all this without
a dime of recompense and in fact donating dinners for the seminarians, etc.)  Sure I took tens of
thousands from the seminary - a great joke Pablo.  

Second point:  The death of Santiago is now blamed on yours truly.  How inane is that?  The man
himself has a guilty conscience and the death of his son only bespeaks the death of Christ in this
man's soul for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.  Check out his Christian language and realize that this is the influence that I fought while you fathers would not listen.  Both you and Fr. Hewko know that
this Mexican never attends the mass at the seminary and rarely attends mass.  He lives a life in
contradiction to the Catholic Faith for his sacramental life is non-existent.  This is the example given to the
seminarians?  Every seminarian without fail left because of Pablo and Fr. Pfieffer's relation to him.  No one
understands this relationship because it makes no sense.

Third point:  You have all turned to silent concerning this evil in your midst and so you are
affirming your cooperation with evil.  Your priestly life will be affected.  I am happy to be away
from such a harbinger of hatred.  Fr. Hewko, I cannot believe that you think this man is harmless.
You have only to speak with people who used to support you.  They pray that you will eliminate
that "boss" or get out before you are poisoned as well.

St. Bruno says it well, "The evil and adulterous generation of the Jєωs, because of their hard and
unrepentant hearts, would be condemned, not alone by the Ninevites, but also and rightly by the
Gentiles.  Since this impious generation knew not that it should repent, but daily became more wicked, its last state was worse than its first."  Apply it to your proud state of affairs, dear Fr. Pfeiffer.

Believe me if there is no serious answer to this email I will go public with it, you can be sure.
You hold your fate in your own hands, fathers.  Choose wisely.

In the hearts of Jesus, Mary and Joseph,

Fr. Richard Voigt

P.S.  If you can find "anything" that I have taken from you I will repay fourfold.  Will you do the
same for me?  Fr. Pfeiffer, you lied to me and you stopped me from seeking matching funds for the
money that Gloria was sending.  I followed your will but I could have raised an extra $30,000 if I
was given the "go ahead".  

P.P.S.  I have recently learned that a group of laymen approached you to remove Pablo and they
would fund and take care of whatever he did for you.  They answered all your objections and still
you desire that this creature remain.  You are losing souls with your ungodly attachment to
a weak and frail human being.  How can you preach detachment when you are so attached to
such a creature.  I hope your followers will pay attention to Pablo's heart expressed in his
little website that promotes the tiniest of resistance cells.  The resistance is a Catholic quality of life
and is not determined by you or any other priest.  

Once again, Fr. Voigt had the incredible patience to send this to Fr. Pfeiffer & Fr. Hewko and let them sit on it for one whole week, waiting for a response and/or a rectification of the situation before resorting to publishing it on the Internet.

This shows that he is not ruled by anger or emotion.

He is also following the advice of Our Lord Himself:

[15] But if thy brother shall offend against thee, go, and rebuke him between thee and him alone. If he shall hear thee, thou shalt gain thy brother.
[16] And if he will not hear thee, take with thee one or two more: that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may stand. [17] And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican.

I find it quite edifying. It's something I wish to emulate in my own conflicts, especially online. This is what good priests do: they give us laymen a good example, and something to shoot for.

4. But the Mexican has been accused by ex-seminarians as an ardent curse-maker.

So ex-seminarians have made such claims?  I thought there was a thread called something like 30 Days in Jonestown which firmly stated there was no evidence of such activity.

This is classic "bad guy" behavior. Take the truth and twist it around 180 degrees. So now if anyone suggests that there was a curse on Santiago, someone will say, "Well, as a matter of fact Pablo did accuse Fr. Voigt of putting a curse on him..." of course that is ridiculous because Pablo was accused of curses much earlier, which is out there for the whole world to see. But some people don't read CathInfo, and there are some very gullible people.

Politicians do this all the time. They talk around issues, mentioning things that everyone suspects/knows to be true, but they divert these forces to their own ends, usually by projecting any evil onto their enemies.

For example, the United States is working with ISIS (the terrorist group) in Syria, and this evil group uses things like chemical weapons. Many agencies and media around the world have seen evidence of chemical weapons use in this area (footage showing civilian victims on the news, etc.) so what do the United States officials do? Do they remain totally silent about the subject of chemical weapons? Of course not. Much more clever is to accuse their enemy (Assad, the president of Syria) of using chemical weapons. This kills two birds with one stone! It demonizes their enemy, while also explaining away any talk/evidence of chemical weapons in Syria.

And it's classic "projection".
