Sodomy Scandal at SSPX Boys School Academy

Two individuals wrote to me this evening about a huge scandal regarding sodomy at the SSPX chapel Immaculate Conception Academy (ICA), in Post Falls, ID. The boys school in question is associated with Immaculate Conception Church, the SSPX chapel nearby.

After St. Mary's, KS, the SSPX group in Post Falls is the 2nd largest SSPX "mecca" in the United States. I could be wrong, maybe it's only #3 or #4. But it's huge. It's more than just another SSPX Priory.

Besides the chapel (Immaculate Conception Church) they also have a school (Immaculate Conception Academy) and I believe the Dominican Sisters affiliated with the SSPX are nearby. It's a huge enclave of SSPX Traditional Catholics.

What a black eye for Fr. Vassal, Bishop Fellay, and the new liberal edition of the Society of St. Pius X (or neo-SSPX)!

To say that the scandal that I've referred to in Post Falls is huge is the understatement of the year.

I was about to reply to your recent post in the "priest transfers" thread, but I don't want to be the one to field all of the questions that will come up.

The parents of affected boys will be putting out a public letter soon. At least eight boys are confirmed to be actively involved in the unnatural vice, it's been going on for several years, taking place on the school premises, the pastor knew about it and covered it up and allegedly misled the parents multiple times, the district superior was aware of it, the police have an ongoing investigation going, parents are working on a lawsuit against the SSPX, ten families have pulled their boys out of the school, etc, etc. I've found out most of this info since a few days ago.

Another person wrote in:

Also, in the recent thread "SSPX Priest Transfers 2016", someone mentioned scandal at ICA, which led to the SSPX authorities at least *planning* to transfer Fr. Vassal. That transfer may or may not go forward. It sounded like the new priest was going to be Fr. Dreher, but that might have already been changed. But whether they go ahead with the transfer, or keep Fr. Vassal there, I don't know at this point.

So here is what happened at ICA (Immaculate Conception Academy in Post Falls, ID):

- There are at least 8 boys who have been involved in unnatural vice at the school (as willing participants)
- There is an ongoing police investigation. They say that the SSPX is not volunteering any information to them.
- This vice against nature has been taking place all over the school premises: bell tower, restrooms, etc.
- Fr. Vassal allegedly misled parents multiple times, including this past year
- Fr. Wegner was also aware of it
- The parents are going to be putting out a public letter stating the facts.
- At least ten families are pulling their boys out of the school.
- One person involved said, "do spread the word". They want this to get out.


"Fr. Vassal has been aware of sodomy occurring among the boys for 2 or 3 years, but didn't do anything about it. The obvious problem is that some of these acts were actually illegal, so these incidents should have been treated as crimes and reported to the authorities. The Seal of Confession is irrelevant in this case, since these incidents were brought to Father's attention by many people OUTSIDE of the confessional. Someone close to the situation testifies that Fr. Vassal misled the parents about this situation at a parents' meeting. Someone said it looks like the U.S. District isn't planning to do much, except perhaps shuffle some priests and other personnel around."


You might find this interesting -- If I recall correctly, a few years ago someone quoted Fr. Vassal as saying something along the lines of, "Children should be exposed to evil, so they learn how to deal with it." I guess we're looking at the fruits of these children being exposed to evil!  

This downfall of the SSPX is so tragic.

Also refer to this thread, which also involves ICA in Post Falls:

A friend from Post  Falls called me an hour ago with the story.  I had just finished writing what appears below:



I just got a call from a good friend in Post Falls.  He informs me of yet another scandal at the Immaculate Conception Academy, one which is perhaps the outgrowth of, or tied into, other earlier scandals, which most of you probably know something about already.
Now we learn that at least eight boys at the Academy, and perhaps as many as fifteen youngsters, have been involved in ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ activity.  The deviant behavior is reported to have occurred on the premises, e.g. in school bathrooms, empty classrooms, and perhaps in the adjoining chapel proper itself.
I understand that parents are now involved, and that even the police have been called in.  Apparently, some parents have contacted a lawyer, or lawyers, and are contemplating legal action.
It is reported that the ICC prior knew about this deviant sɛҳuąƖ behavior among students, but that he covered it up.  I can’t confirm that for certain yet.  
Apparently, at least one of the students outed himself, confessing openly to (parents?) that he was a ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ.
I’ll report more as the story develops.  I’ll be frank.  If the story is true, and I think it is because it comes from  very reliable sources, (people whom we know personally, including our friend who just called), then there is no doubt in my mind that ICA should be shut down forever, and that the prior should be run out of town on a rail.  Furthermore, I think, the leadership of the Society, particularly Bp. Fellay should be called to account.

Matto, I understand this is horrible news, but please don't drag innocent priests and bishops names into this to make a point.

My faith isn't shaken at all. We're dealing with human beings having poor, weak, wounded human nature. Original sin strikes again.

The Trads at Immaculate Conception Academy aren't somehow exempt from the ravages of Original Sin.

Nothing should surprise you.

This scandal and perversion is right on time.  And, it fits the MO.  The sepulcher is whitened on the outside, with its opposite on the inside.  And, there is nothing more dark than sodomy.  And this, being that all guilty parties were underage, seems to me to be especially diabolical.  Let us pray that these days be shortened, so that the xspx does not give tradition a bad name.  Let them fall fast.  

How absolutely heartbreaking for those families involved, sending their boys to a SSPX "traditional" Catholic school, thinking they will be somehow safe from the revolting decadence which engulf us. There are many people who moved there JUST so their boys could attend that school...to protect them from the evils of this world; but Satan is really everywhere and there is nowhere to hide. No long ago, I myself wanted to move there and prayed earnestly about it; but God did not hear that prayer. Now I know why. God always knows best.

Prayers for those families!

The only way to explain the extent of this sodomite epidemic is that we are truly living in the End of Times and legions of disgusting devils are running loose. We are a completely SICK society in desperate need of a collective exorcism. There is nothing but filth around us! Please Lord Jesus come.

These are St. Peter Damian's words on those who practice the unnatural vice:

“His flesh burns with the fury of lust, his frigid mind trembles with the rancor of suspicion, and chaos now rages hellishly in the heart of the unhappy man while he is vexed by as many worries as he is tortured, as it were, by the torments of punishment. Indeed, once this most poisonous snake has sunk its teeth into an unhappy soul, sense is immediately taken away, memory is removed, the sharpness of mind is obscured; it becomes forgetful of God, it forgets even itself.”

 “This most pestilent queen of the sodomites renders him who is submissive to the laws of her tyranny indecent to men and hateful to God. In order to sow impious wars against God, she requires a militancy of the most wretched spirit,”  “She separates the unhappy soul from the fellowship of the angels, removing it from its nobility to place it under the yoke of her own domination. She strips her soldiers of the armaments of the virtues, and to strike them down, exposes them to the darts of every vice. . . . She gnaws the conscience like worms, burns the flesh like a fire, and pants with desire for pleasure. But in contrast she fears to be exposed, to come out in public,  o be known by others.”

Matto - I agree with your reaction.  But, matthew is also right. He has thick skin, and we all need that.  But, we also need to not forget the days when we didn't have such.  Because, this is an enormous scandal.  I remember posting years ago that the xspx will become the new gatekeeper of the church.  And, that it will surprise us what they turn into.  We are seeing it.  Expect more surprises if they continue on their path.  They go from being a great good to a great evil.  All because they were at one time great.  

Quote from: Matthew

I can avoid that sin without even trying!

Careful, lest you be presumptuous.

Sodomy "is the greatest sin among the species of lust," so unless you think you're completely free from lust, there's always the possibility that you could slide down the slippery slope from seemingly benign acts or thoughts all the way down to the full-fledged sins against nature, especially if God withdraws His grace (e.g., due to sins like idolatry; cf. Rom. 1).

True, and to be honest I did think of that even as I wrote it. I should have been more...thorough. So I admit, you got me there.

Without God's grace, we would each fall into the deepest depravities of sin and vice, myself included.

I guess what I'm saying is, it's currently in the "bottom 5 sins" as far as what sins I have to war against, given my current virtues and vices. (My virtues are all thanks to God's grace, and my vices are my own fault.)

This vice is not natural to fallen children. The child was either raped or molested multiple times by at least one adult most likely.
