How many seminarians currently enrolled in OLMC?
« on: October 26, 2015, 11:52:12 AM »
Manuel Chavez informs Cathinfo that there are currently 8 new(?) seminarians in Boston, KY.  Is that true?  Do any of you have any information to the effect?  I have made enquiry of a friend in that area, and am waiting for an answer.  Meanwhile, perhaps, one of you can confirm or deny that what Martin says is true.

I don't have any reason not to believe Manuel and shows that eight is probably an accurate number.

I don't know how many are new to Boston, KY, but several are in cassock, so if they're new to Boston, they've transferred from somewhere else.

'OperationSurvival' is there, but not serving or singing, so if you're head-counting, you can add him.

....................

I wanted to point out something else regarding Boston, KY:

We should be just as quick to note improvements as we are to note problems.

 - Fr. Hewko has given a sermon from the pulpit at OLMC every Sunday since Sept 13 ("Ambrose Sunday"), which means he's probably at the seminary most of the time now, perhaps only leaving to say Mass at one other location.

 - Fr. Hewko's latest catechism asked prayers for ALL of the Resistance seminaries, listing them each specifically. So, what he said last week seems to have been unintentional. He seems to disagree with the ongoing public face of OLMC (still a big problem) which puts Fr. Chazal as a "member of the Lodge."

 - I suspect that even if the OLMC priests realize their previous mistakes, we're never going to see a public statement from Boston, KY denouncing Ambrose as a fraud. However, without weekly testimony that he continues to say Mass for Fr. Pfeiffer, I'll remain hopefully optimistic that he's no longer on their schedule.

This is not to say that there aren't still big problems there and I still wouldn't even recommend a young person to go and volunteer there, much less enter the seminary, but I do want to give credit where it's due.

I don't think that this video proves Manuel's contention at all.

At minute 1:07:30 a woman says to Pablo "No.  This is a private burial." He ignores her and continues to film.  No respect at all for the dignity of the occasion.  

He's trad paparazzi.

Could you clarify for us -- were you at the funeral? If I'm not mistaken, you live in Boston, KY.

Just watching the video, it's inconclusive.
