________FACT_________
Fr. Hewko flew in from Our Lady of Mount Carmel, and came to Winona, to be with his family, NOT to confront anyone.
He is a Catholic Priest, par excellence.
He stayed by himself at a "low profile" motel on the east end of town.
At Thursday night dinner, with his family, he was told "he should NOT be on the cemetery (seminary) grounds. (Editorial License - I play with words.)
The source is the '"BOSS"' and the ramifications for a new Priest are obvious to all who have been aware of the SSPX rebranding, change of direction.
Therefore, the BEST Fr. could do, was pray his Breviary, parked on a PUBLIC road at the same elevation (actually higher) a very short distance away, (feet, not miles) during the ordination of his nephew.
Catholic charity at its' finest!!!!! (my pejorative comment to this otherwise factual reporting)
___________Was the parking of a Winona County Sheriffs' car at the entrance to the cemetery, I mean seminary, supposed to imply something. No Tradcats among Winona's Finest. _________
I believe this was the largest turnout in the past 10 years at least. Over 200 tent/campers, main tent full, north side outside of tent chairs at 90%, south side garage full, car parking in north cow pasture full, (some mud, 2 inches of rain during thursday night, and very wet previous couple weeks) and the south hay field was full.
A tall Priest was observed assisting an inexperienced young driver who was "buried" in the mud. His "old SSPX" prayers were soon rewarded by a tractor and 40 ft. of chain. Novus Order catholic charity in action. Friendly people in Minnesota.
So much for the "profound unity" Fr. Rostand wants us to believe that is in the SSPX. This is really how they take care of their Priests? Our Lord was cast out also...
Remember, Fr. Hewko is still a SSPX priest that has NOT been expelled; and this is the way they treat him none the less. Yes, he did receive the "warnings". However, he is still "officially" on the U.S. District's roster.
In addition, it is almost 1-year now that Fr. Hewko has been on Sabbatical. When that 1-year is up (I do not know the date), he is "expected" to return to Fr. Rostand's bidding. We will see how that turns out...
