It would appear that Fr. Poisson:

1. Has a strong Marian schtick going on -- adding Marian prayers to the Leonine Prayers said after Mass, etc.
2. Claims that FSSP frowned on his strong Marian devotion
3. He relies on supernatural help from Mary rather than any kind of human prudence, due diligence, etc.
4. He is totally aloof from the Internet, again relying on Mary to personally send someone to tell him anything he needs to know
5. He considers the Internet 100% evil
6. He is 56 years old, a bit short, and of slender ("not skinny") build.
7. His most notable feature is his piety.
8. He is Canadian and his parents still live in Canada (that was the farm he spent the past 5 years on). Note his French last name.
9. He stated as fact that "bishop" Ambrose Moran conditionally ordained him

So it sounds like he is naive and imprudent to an insane degree.

I might as well get behind the wheel of my car with a blindfold on, relying on Our Lady to get me safely where I need to go. Talk about tempting God!

If he wants to be aloof from the Internet, that's fine. Just stay under someone (like your superiors in the FSSP) and you'll be fine. But if you're going to venture out ON YOUR OWN into the world of Tradition, do you really think there are no wolves to watch out for? How are you going to find out about them, by watching CNN? Oh, that's right -- Mary will personally send an angel or other messenger to give you the news that you could easily get with a Google search, using your brain, or doing your due diligence.

The closer the relationship (say, a bishop ordaining a priest, a priest seeking ordination from a bishop, a priest joining a group, or a person considering a suitor for marriage) the more you need to investigate to make sure you're not making a mistake.

Piety by itself (without doctrine, or prudence) is dangerous and inadequate. Don't you suppose countless young, wet-behind-the-ears priests in the 1950's were plenty pious? But they got sucked into the heresy of Modernism, and the rest is history. To this day, many of these formerly pious priests have done countless damage to the Church and to souls.

Fr. Poisson (and others like him) need to re-read their Scripture. Our Lord said to be simple as doves AND WISE AS SERPENTS.  Fr. Poisson seems to be utterly missing this latter element.

Fr. Poisson has admitted that Ambrose Moran did indeed conditionally "ordain" him.

If you haven't read through the mountain of evidence that Ambrose Moran is a fraud, then I suggest you get started!

.
There might have been a statement made about this somewhere, but it seems to me that Fr. Poisson would not have approached Ambrose-Moran for "conditional re-ordination" unless he had  -- 
A)  Already made plans to move to Boston KY
B)  Already spoken to Fr. Pfeiffer about going to Boston, as well as about his concerns about his ordination by a Novus Ordo bishop
C)  Been counseled by Fr. Pfeiffer to ask A-M for his help.
.
THEREFORE, since it's highly likely that Fr. Pfeiffer is behind this conditional re-ord., it only remains to ask: "Why would Fr. Pfeiffer think that getting this help from A-M at this time would be of some kind of benefit for the future of OLMC at Boston, KY?" Because if it were NOT for the perceived future benefit of OLMC, it would be rather foolish of Fr. P to suggest that it be done. 
.
Note: I'm not referring to the case of Fr. Poissons in particular, but rather to the case of OLMC in general, regarding its future.

PA report story:

https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/pa-supreme-court-orders-release-of-redacted-grand-jury-report-20208

Smedley, this is so far out there, it is literally off-topic. What does this have to do with Fr. Poisson?
Oh, it is happening in Pennsylvania and Fr. Poisson worked in Pennsylvania for several years.

SO WHAT?

Not exactly a solid connection, to say the least!

Unless you have some evidence, you really need to stop insinuating things about Fr. Poisson. You have given no reason or evidence, much less proof, that Fr. Poisson is guilty of anything. Trying to blacken a priest's good name is actually sinful.

I'm not trying to blacken his name.

Have you called Scranton diocese to check his status? Is he a priest in good standing?  Who knows?

The Scranton Diocese currently has public WARNINGS against THREE priests who are NOT in good standing:

Roberts, Tetherow,  Cordaro


All of whom are "with" Boston.

The FSSP had an entire school shut down in Scranton diocese for sex abuse.


Whoever is named in the report is who to avoid. If Poisson does not end up in the report, good for him!

But as of now, you don't know.

It's called due diligence.

If a priest is concerned about his reputation, it seems to me he'd have nothing to do with Boston, KY.  But this also does not mean Fr. Poisson is guilty of ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity.  Maybe he left the FSSP in Scranton because of that scandal, wanting no part of it.  If, as is implied, he is out of the loop on current events, possibly he was a victim or picked out to be the victim of a fellow priest.  Maybe he fled Scranton to his family farm to recuperate himself.  

Sadly, Fr. may have jumped from the frying pan into the fire.
