I watched the whole video.


+Faure's attempt to explain keeping one particular priest makes for a nifty soundbite to be used by anti-trad forces.


imo +Fellay better steel himself for part 2.

Part II airs next week, and will cover the rapes of children at Post Falls by Kevin Sloniker.
I wonder if Fr. Vassal will be watching...

Producers divided their research into two episodes, one of which will air tonight (Wednesday), the second one next week. The second episode deals with the case of the former seminarian, Kevin Gerard Sloniker, who is today in prison.

Let the Victims speak.  Scandal will come, and let it out!

1. This is not CathInfo's first expose on a topic like this. We've been there, done that, got the T-shirt. We've talked about St. Gertrude the Great in Cincinnati, OH, Immaculate Conception Academy in Post Falls, and others. We should be experts now in handling something like this. I personally have learned a lot.

2. The source is clearly an anti-Catholic, anti-Tradition hit piece. Some have, nevertheless, embraced this as their cause du jour, and formed a virtual lynch mob against +Williamson, etc. without so much as asking for their side of the story first! *cough* Mw2016 *cough*

3. As always, the only useful contributions to a thread like this are from PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, and adding proof (facts and Internet research) to the community body of knowledge, for the sake of souls and the common good.

4. As always, rumor mongering, starting rumors, gossip are forbidden. The same goes for name-dropping people who aren't involved in any way. For example, "Who could Fr. P be?" and following up with several guesses. Would you want your name mentioned several times in a thread discussing pedophilia? I didn't think so.

5. Unwelcome and unhelpful, yet not strictly forbidden: useless interjections like "Pedo priests should not have access to our children!" or "Something needs to be done to protect the children!" You don't say! I think we can all agree on these no-brainer directives. You might as well add something purely emotional, like the famous "Think of the children!"

6. Unadvisable and possibly sinful: convicting a priest or bishop in the court of your own mind, without even giving him a chance to speak on his own behalf. Double demerits if the charges came about by the agency of a clearly anti-Catholic source, and you chose to believe the words of anti-Catholics rather than the default goodness ("benefit of the doubt") of the priest/bishop in question!

7. You do know what benefit of the doubt means, right? It means that every priest and bishop is good, unless we have hard evidence BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT which forces us to believe otherwise. Everyone is entitled to this charitable "benefit of the doubt". Everyone gets to start out, by default, as a good guy. Even the Freemasonic, protestant United States got this one right: "Innocent until proven guilty".

8. Related to point #1, the issue of SCOPE has come up. If a scandal breaks in Ohio, is it lawful to spread it all over a United States message board? I had to figure this one out. Considering there is a lot of internal churn in the United States (moving is easy), Traditional Catholics move across the country all the time to be near a school, and there are no Ohio Trad Catholic message boards... I decided the answer was "Yes". But when you make your scope too broad, you get into a situation where you don't know what you're talking about. What do I know about the Trad scene in France? You can fit my knowledge of the French Traditional scene into a very small thimble. And frankly, the same goes for 99.9% of the other members of CathInfo.
So how can we have a useful, legitimate discussion about events which we know nothing about? All we can do is emote, wave our pitchforks, and string 'em up!

9. Mob mentality is a real thing. Ask any psychologist. You also can't reason with a mob. That's why I have to forbid lynch mobs on CathInfo -- a mob mentality prohibits reasonable discussion. And if you can't have reasonable discussion on a discussion forum, then what is it good for? Nothing. A forum is ONLY useful for intelligent, rational discussion. That's why, as a matter of course, I have to ban people who prove they are high on emotion and low on reason.

10. CathInfo does not host lynch mobs, and CathInfo will not be used as a virtual courtroom to try, convinct, and/or execute priests or bishops "in absentia". If you have evidence, then post it. Otherwise, hold your peace. Silence is golden.

The docuмentary makes no such claim.
The docuмentary talks about Fr. Abraham who lives with Bp. Williamson, which is true.
The docuмentary talks about two other French priests, who live in France - one in Paris, SSPX and one Resistance in Bordeaux.
You probably would do well to watch it.

I watched the whole video. It seems that if they would really have wanted to expose the truth and make a serious investigative work, they should have caught up with their own contradiction. This was not a "live", spur of the moment, video.

There are some very disturbing elements in the video, though, and they seem based on facts. But it also seems that they got carried away and became un-professional at some point, like trying to capitalize from some elements of truth, and building a whole charge against the very essence of the Society and the Resistance.

And it was the same journalist who interviewed Bishop Williamson in november 2008. The bishop said that "evidence shows that no Jєωs died in the gas chambers, nor because of a system set-up by Hitler. and not six millions" (or words to that effect). The media then said: "Bishop Williamson denies the h0Ɩ0cαųst". Now, that was NOT what the bishop had been saying. He has not said that NO Jєωs died during WWII! Just that they didn't die in the gas chambers, and not in such great numbers as are currently alleged, and not as the result of system set-up by Hitler. That is not the same thing as saying that no Jєωs died!

This shows that the technique of good liars is always the same: Build your case on the foundation of some elements of truth, and go from there to extrapolate, exaggerate, and condemn. The real purpose of the video is not to save children. It is to show that the Society, and the Resistance, are two fringe, extremist, right-wing, break-away "Catholic" groups that are breeding pedophiles and are protecting them, and that such groups are not following Vatican guidelines on the matter, and therefore they should not be allowed to re-enter the Church.

Basically, the video wants the viewer to make a broad general and sweeping conclusion: "Traditionalist groups are bad for children. Parents of victims are afraid to complain, because these traditionalist groups are cults. This is also why these priests protect each other. This has to stop! Such groups should become illegal, as they cannot reform themselves! The Vatican is also guilty by knowing these cases and still trying to re-integrate the SSPX"

I am a hardliner against pedophilia, and am for the strict application of the old canon law. But before to do that, we have to be sure that the accused receives a fair trial.

Here is screenshot. Note that ALL the priests in their "Resistance priest montage" are equally "guilty" as this priest. So they should all have their faces blurred like so many criminals, if joining the Resistance makes you a criminal!

I can't emphasize this point enough. This man didn't do anything wrong. Not even a little indiscretion! How many of you caught this the first time through?

I want you to be honest -- how many of you thought this man was a pedophile (or at least accused of such)?

If so, congratulations! You are victim #10,345,001,837 to be deceived by the Mainstream Media.

See the insinuation? This hit piece is calculated to confuse people and lead you to THEIR pre-determined conclusions. Sure, you and I (intelligent, rational Catholics) are able to sort out all the truth from the fiction -- but most people are going to be left with a vague impression "Tradition = bad", "Resistance = bad", "Bishop Williamson = bad", etc.

"Father P" is Father Philippe Peignot.

He was included in a CathInfo thread here.
