The realization is sinking-in that Wegner did an out-of-court settlement and the parents are now silenced.

This might be the case, But then, what was the exact nature of that "settlement" in your opinion, Incred? I mean, what could the D.S. have said to them in order to shut them up? What kind of an arrangement could he have made with them to ensure future silence? What kind of threats might he have made in order to cow these parents into silence? I don't get it.

They should be screaming from the roof tops. Instead, ICC parishioners are apparently back to their heads-down, robotic, Mass-attending past. They have, it would seem, settled back into that comfortable, head-in-the-sand Catholicism of the 50s to which the bishop makes occasional reference.

To insure silence, I suspect it was just cash money and the signing of a contract.

Consider the xSPX is at a critical juncture of their betrayal... and they had done an good job at blacking-out news on the scandal.
But thanks to Cathinfo and the other trad forums, the scandal was making some traction.

If the parents would have taken the ICA management to court, it would have been a PR disaster!

Fr. Wegner the re-branding "PR guy", understood the implications of the scandal getting out of control.

As we will recall, he showed-up in Post Falls in a secretive fashion, did his business and got out of town.
No time to perform and exorcism rite, cause he had taken care of the "people problem" already.

Could it be, in the estimation of the little Ralph Lauren cologned priest, green money, worked better than an exorcism or Holy water?

Are you saying that sspx bought their silence with a healthy cash settlement? I rather doubt it, but who knows.

It appears the letter from the affected parents never came?

But why? Was the matter settled by and undisclosed pay-out settlement from the xSPX?

Puh-lease.

I HIGHLY doubt it.

First of all, they are not going to give one thin dime to parishioners unless a court of law FORCED them to.

Second, I think SSPX parishioners are exactly what someone said - cows! And fearful cows, to boot.

They are terrified of being kicked out of their parish. People are usually STUCK where they are - can't sell a house, can't get another job, etc.

They are not about to blow up their lives by blowing up their Church.

So, it was probably REALLY easy for Fr. Wegner to tell them they are not allowed to speak of what happened or they will be ejected from the parish.

MW, I think you are exactly right. Having been among these people for a decade, I think your brief analysis is probably spot on.

Private settlement is one of a Novus ordo bishop's "best practices" in silencing a Diocesean scandal. The Society may claim poverty, but they have access to a lot of funds.

If you are saying that the families have kept silence on their children's abuse to remain in the xSPX ѕуηαgσgυє, then we've really underestimated their wisdom and character.

This homo/pervert scandal occurred in the land of the American "vigilante" and "white supremacist", as the ʝʊdɛօ-masonics have labeled it.

If these traditional Catholic families bowed out for fear of losing their xSPX pew seat, it is worse than accepting a pay-off...

At least with a pay-off, you can get your child some therapy and move to a non xSPX school.
