Looking at the whole picture, it is such a sad story.  Both Fr. Pfeiffer and Fr. Hewko had wonderful priestly qualities.  Back when Fr. Hewko left the SSPX there was nowhere for him to go and he most likely ended up in Kentucky out of necessity.  Fr. Pfeiffer was too ambitious and jumped to conclusions thinking +BW would consecrate him a bishop.  When +BW not only wasn't going to make him a bishop but wasn't going to endorse his Seminary, Fr. P started to turn on +BW and eventually convince Fr. Hewko to do the same.  By their fruits you shall know them.  What fruits have they given? I can't think of one.  Obviously Fr. Hewko has made excuses for Fr. Pfeiffer because he owed him much for his help and unfortunately his allegiance to him was distorted.  Look how many years it took for him to see that Pablo was a scandal to OLMC.  In his letter he is just now saying that Pablo is a problem when everyone else saw this since the beginning.  Loyalty for the sake of loyalty is not to be admired; nonetheless,  he can still come out of this the better for it with his and our prayers.  

Fr. Pfeiffer can even come out of this.  I don't think anyone of us should wish them more failures.  I would help either one of them if asked.  There is even hope for Pablo.  If he could swallow his pride and if he really cared for Fr. Pfeiffer he should know that he must leave as soon as possible if anything good can result from this.  The damage is done and there is no recovery that could justify him staying in Kentucky after all his wrong doings.  I didn't say forgiveness because he is still alive.  Everyone who has loved Fr. Hewko and every mission that has had them are suffering because the truth has hit the fan.  Better late than never and without pain there is no gain.  I pray for all involved.  

I agree with much of your post (the first paragraph), but you are too optimistic towards Fr. Pfeiffer and Pablo in the second part (I divided your post into 2 paragraphs). There would have to be a major conversion for either of them. Technically there is hope as long as they're alive -- but that's only a divine hope in God who can do anything. Humanly speaking, they are both absolutely hopeless and not likely to change.

I wish Fr. Pfeiffer however more failures necessary to convert his soul back to God and the true path.

Yes, we should pray for all involved, because as I mentioned, only God can work a miracle. All grace comes from God. But that doesn't mean that converting a conservative, pro-life neighbor will take as much grace (or as much of a miracle) as converting Hillary Clinton, who has probably offered literal sacrifices to Satan. I'm not saying Fr. Pfeiffer or Pablo are equal to Hillary Clinton; I'm just saying that not all conversions are equally likely, nor do they require the same amount of grace, prayers, and sacrifices.

But the idea that suffering, failure, and catastrophe are often used by God for conversion, correction, and purification is a well-established one.

When you have a soul that is stubbornly proceeding with a wicked life, there are only 2 possibilities: 1. They continue on in peace until death, and go to hell. This will happen if not enough people pray and make sacrifices for them. 2. They have people and saints praying for them (perhaps because of human friendships, family bonds, their past good life, etc.) and then God will wake them up somehow -- only He knows how to convert each soul. This often comes about with pain, suffering, death of a loved one, etc. St. Ignatius had his leg shattered.

Correction of my post regarding the 469 fitter video that was published on February 14, 2019  (my mistake was in posting February 13, 2019).

I wonder if Father Hewko will be serving the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary who have recently become deprived of their sacraments by the Conciliar Church. His temporary place of residence in Hubbardston, Massachusetts is only a 45 minute drive away.
