Oh, really?
Why?
Why would any FSSP priest " just leave"?

Oh, no big deal.

He just woke up one day and decided to go from

* A large organization with structure, resources, benefits, etc. to a rinky-dink organization with none of those things
* An organization approved by Rome to a group that isn't even accepted by most Traditional Catholics
* A respected world-wide organization to a scandal-ridden de-facto cult that works with a superstitious lay exorcist, a con artist, and several priests with tainted reputations (the sin that dare not speak its name)
* A group with standard seminaries and training to a group whose "seminary" involves no formal subjects or classes. I'm not making this up: in Boston, KY, the "seminarians" are told that each of Fr. Pfeiffer's rambling, disorganized, 2-hour rants is supposed to be the equivalent of several classes of Moral Theology, Canon Law, Dogmatic Theology, Ascetical and Mystical Theology, Scripture, Logic, Philosophy, etc. (And you wonder why Bp. Williamson and the other Resistance bishops refuse orders to these "seminarians")

Exactly. 
Which makes me wonder:
How did Fr. Poisson even KNOW of Fr. Pfeiffer? 
This is why I think the connection came thru the SSJ. Especially if Poisson is over 40.

These posts were buried on a Catacombs thread day before yesterday. 

Speaking of other forums, here is another gem:


If I were an Independent trad priest, having left the SSPX or any other group, I would steer clear of Boston, KY at all costs -- for my reputations' sake if nothing else!

Or for abject fear of being sɛҳuąƖly assaulted.  I certainly would not let my kids (especially my sons) within a 300-mile radius of the place.  I currently live 366 miles away, so I can't move more than 60 miles closer to Columbus.

Somehow defending a priest known to me has become defending homo-pedophilia and Boston , Kentucky. I am not defending either!
I am not telling you how to connect the dots- I am just telling you some of what I know.
I do know a little about why Fr Poisson left and it had nothing to do with that type of scandal. Personally I suspect some of it had to do with Francis and the general apostasy. He just walked away.The FSSP did not remove his faculties. ( at least they didn't as of 2015) It was a four year period since he left ( with no other affiliations as far as I can tell) and now this Boston stuff- shocking to me as well.
I am old enough to know that I can easily be deceived, but I'm sure you are old enough to know that about yourselves as well .
This is all I am able to say, so I won't comment further on this thread.

They also say he spent 5 years on his parents farm.

Well, this is one plausible reason for his move ... a prior Pfeiffer connection.

The Pfeiffer forum is making accusations of calumny for what is being said of Fr Poisson, and I can’t see how anyone can reasonably argue against the charge:

Speculation and rash judgment regarding his moral character is all I see in this thread.

Would it really have been so hard to wait for the grand jury report, which is soon to be made public?

For my own part, I am only voicing my concerns regarding the report of an extremely dubious conditional ordination by Mr. Ambrose Moran.

The moral discussion should have waited until the report was made public (unless there is some other concrete and credible evidence to support the accusations being made against this priest).

When and if that should transpire, I will hop on the bandwagon, but not before.

To make such accusations without any evidence better than “he was in PA” and “since Pfeiffer has expressed willingness to associate with those accused and/or convicted of grave moral offenses, it must be true in the present case too” is itself surely gravely rash matter.

And for the record, I am neither Smedley, Fanny, nor any of the other names mentioned on the Pfeiffer forum.

They have a point about the premature accusations constituting calumny, possible slander, and the textbook definition of rash judgment.

bovine excrement.  I love how people toss around the word calumny without having any understanding of the term.

If I run into a limp-wristed man who's lisping and shows other characteristics of ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity, I am able to state as fact -- no calumny -- this man exhibits a lot of behaviors and characteristics typical of ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs, and out of caution I will keep my children away from him.  And I might warn others who might have a little less-well-tuned "gαydar" to do the same.  That is NOT calumny.  No one is saying that he's certainly a ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ ... just that the circuмstantial evidence suggests that he may very well be.  Former statement would be calumny, but the latter is merely objective fact.

Similarly, there's circuмstantial evidence with regard to both Poissson and the Pfeiffer compound in general that would suggest that there's a great possibility that some ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ network has set up operations there and that people should stay away and, most importantly, keep their children away.
