Author Topic: Pablo preaches a sermon on Charity - that takes the cake! (Read 11412 times)

I've attended Fr. Pfeiffer's Mass with my family, but I won't again anytime soon or maybe ever. I refuse to involve my family with a cult - and that's exactly what he heads, although perhaps unwittingly. If I saw someone like Pablo standing on a street corner while I was sitting at a red light, I'd have my .45 sitting on my lap. And if the good Fr. Pfeiffer doesn't have any more sense than to distance himself pronto from this guy, I question his judgement in every other matter.

This video is so ridiculous for dozens of reasons, it doesn't afford any substantive comment. It is an ad hominem all on its own. This poor man is simply not to blame entirely; 2 priests have permitted this through (one hopes) omission; the perfection of a loon. I think someone would have a moral obligation to NOT support this in any way possible.

How can anyone take Boston, Kentucky seriously--seriously!

I'm an outsider, but have been following the issue of Pablo being involved in the Resistance. I think that he does have some good things to say about charity, in a general sense. However, since it has been reported that he only occasionally attends Mass, and doesn't really practice the Faith as a Traditional Catholic, why is he so involved with the Resistance, to the point that he doesn't go to be with his 'gravely ill' son? Shouldn't he be putting his son first anyway? I don't get it.

Dear Meg, Pablo basically runs the whole show. People have brought healthy food for the seminarians, and Pablo threw it away because he had not approved it. Pablo controls the donations, along with his friend Rose. Pablo schedules the Mass trips for the fathers. Pablo posts the videos of the fathers. Pablo basically runs the entire operation in Boston, Kentucky. No one is actually stopping Pablo from visiting his son in the hospital, but I think that, due to his past, Pablo has trouble letting things out of his control. And I can understand that to an extent, because I had an incident in my childhood in which a pedophile who was a "respectable" church organist courted my mother to get to me. I was 10 years old. My mother, who was working 100 hours a week all through my childhood to raise me, basically had a dissociative breakdown, though I did not know what that was til I majored in psych in college. She withdrew, the organist was crazy and Satanic, so 10 year old me had to get in control and fix the situation, because I was the only one rational enough to do so. It took me years to be able to surrender control of my circuмstances to anyone else, but eventually I did. I never sought to control others, so much as keep them from controlling my life, but if the childhood trauma were great enough, then the need for control would be greater. It is so very easy to think, "I am the only one who can get this done right." Then you push away help while wishing you had it. I can empathize, but it is disaster in these circuмstances to have a lay person who is away from the sacraments to have so much control. Pablo is efficient, but he does not appear to be in the state of grace, as no one ever sees him receive the sacraments. My husband and I have been praying and offering small sacrifices for Pablo and Santiago and the fathers. I think it will take a miracle to resolve this situation, but God can do miracles, no problem, if we pray fervently and consistently.

Thanks for the explanation, Maria, but the situation still doesn't make sense. Bless you for having endured suffering, but still can see your way to praying and sacrificing for Pablo, Santiago (I don't know who he is), and the Fathers. Not an easy thing to do.

Has anyone ever asked Pablo about why it is that he doesn't receive the Sacraments? It seems an obvious thing to do (to ask him, I mean). Or why he would want to be so involved in a Traditional Catholic group at all? These are my two questions, though there may not be an answer for them. Maybe he feels he's on a personal mission from God? Or something like that? I know that there are some Charismatics who behave this way, who feel that they are in touch with God. Not that Pablo is a Charismatic, but hopefully you know what I mean.
