[John Ruplinger @JRBombadil]

@reignofmary7 yes. good advice.

[John Ruplinger @JRBombadil]

@reignofmary7 @AdrianFonze @NonHabemusPapam @rtf_media yes. They worship both him and his mom on the level of the BVM, both in life and after.

[John Ruplinger @JRBombadil]

@reignofmary7 @AdrianFonze @NonHabemusPapam @rtf_media Looks like Plinio to me. Yep. It's creepy. I hadn't seen it before, but I've seen and read lots like it. It's a cult (they have no priests at all, keep in mind).

[John Ruplinger @JRBombadil]

@AdrianFonze @reignofmary7 @NonHabemusPapam @rtf_media lol. You haven't even read him.

[John Ruplinger @JRBombadil]

@AdrianFonze @reignofmary7 @NonHabemusPapam @rtf_media Sorry. It's a cult and outside the Church without any doubt whatsoever.

[John Ruplinger @JRBombadil]

@reignofmary7 @NonHabemusPapam @rtf_media @AdrianFonze He has exceedingly unorthodox views of politics (and aristocracy). I stay away from his writings. No doubt some is good, but also no doubt some is bad. There's plenty of other sources and I've read and studied all the V II docs and prior ones myself.

[John Ruplinger @JRBombadil]

@reignofmary7 @NonHabemusPapam @rtf_media @AdrianFonze Yes. It is very creepy. I saw other creepy photos with him. He placed his mom as equal to the BVM and she appears like a movie star in photos. weird. I ran into them in Quito, Ecuador and the pride was visible 100 feet away. But former members revealed cra cra practices

[John Ruplinger @JRBombadil]

@reignofmary7 yes. yes. and yes (especially the Heralds who consult demons). I looked into them long ago. I do like Horvat and some of her work is good, but she also adheres to a false politics and sows division. Not an authority imo: there really is none which is very very disappointing to me

[John Ruplinger @JRBombadil]

This book goes on my wish list. There are others who documented the probs in the SSPX. It is definitely a cult (having escaped an even worse one myself). So many testimonies I've read. There's a very dark dark side to the SSPX. Not at all a safe haven.

[Louis Massett @LouisMassett]

No, John. There are serious problems in the Church.

However, these problems do not justify what the SSPX has done.

I grew up in this world. They are lying to themselves and their followers and it leads many to great sorrow. I know from first hand experience.

I believe God has ordained things so for me to share this story to warn the world.

[John Ruplinger @JRBombadil]

Yes. There are. .... also there are devils in the SSPX. It's mixed and there's a lot of confusion and no shepherd to lead the flock, now for a very long time.

[Louis Massett @LouisMassett]

@pluant The devil loves conflict. We should be charitable there are many many people of good will in the SSPX.

[John Ruplinger @JRBombadil]

@reignofmary7 No. He's not modernist. That's defined in Pascendi, and I'm sure he's not. It's impossible to be a Christian and a modernist; I don't even think he's semi-modernist.

He is wrong about V II, but so are many: a lot of confusion there.

[John Ruplinger @JRBombadil]

Yes. This has many credible testimonies over decades. I also recommend Andrew Bartel's testimony. I've done a thorough investigation over many years while considering the SSPX myself. My parents are sede; so, I know that world well too. https://t.co/UcRLBs4Ys1

WHO ADVISES THE SSPX?

I lived in St. Mary's, Kansas in the early 90s

The worst lectures were how we were lied to about our own history. Hitler was "this close" to killing all the Jews! He almost accomplished his mission. Then the world would have been a much better place.

The stupidest lecture was how the Jews control all the cereal we buy at the supermarket.

The lamest lecture was why we all act like "niggers"

The most pathetic is how he endorsed the bigger kids to physically beat up and intimidate the smaller ones to "keep order". That's really slimly

He even broke the seal of confession with me. Yes, you heard that right - and you can piss right off if this offends you. Unfollow or block me I don't care.

Our family turned this loser in...

to Bishop Williamson who apparently also completely hates the Jews nonstop

to Peter Scott the US Superior who was too busying preaching about all his new secret knowledge of "metaphysics"

This dude Angles is also accused of r*ping a boy who later committed suicide. Its all credible, not bs.

Shuffle, shuffle, move them around and protect the org at all costs. SSPX needs Priests for the divine mission!

Wake up, friends! People have been speaking out for a long time about these fanatics.

There is no reason to spit on their testimony and discredit them.

[John Ruplinger @JRBombadil]

@reignofmary7 Yeah, it is very cultish. I noted the same spirit that I saw in Escriva's cult (very dark and evil stuff there). So, I've seen it before, more than once.

[John Ruplinger @JRBombadil]

@reignofmary7 And I spent several years reading 1000s of pages. I didn't make a judgement overnight. I also visited their flagship school a couple times and spent several days with them. There are good priests/people in SSPX but the hierarchy is very corrupt.

[John Ruplinger @JRBombadil]

@reignofmary7 *doesn't mean it didn't happen.

[John Ruplinger @JRBombadil]

@reignofmary7 Again, a priest who left decades ago reported the very same thing. they tried to kill him. Just because his story sounds outlandish doesn't mean it happened. Many testified to the same. Many were molested too -- court docs back it.

[John Ruplinger @JRBombadil]

@reignofmary7 I do agree he gets things wrong, but that in no way at all invalidates his story or others'. Some were very heavily abused, spiritually or physically -- absolutely certain and verified in court documents as well. I saw similar in Opus Diaboli in which I was involved many years.

A lot of pro SSPX accounts have blocked me for posting this 1992 article about St. Mary’s, KS

THE SOCIETY OF PIUS X GETS SICK

St. Mary's, Kansas - Dec 1, 1992

EXTREMISM, NAZISIM, ANTI-SEMITISM AND FR. ANGLES

Extremist politics flourishes at the Pius X Academy (the K-12 boarding school) and at the college in St. Mary's, Kansas. Since 1989, Fr. Ramon Angles has been rector of the combined institutions. The children in St. Mary's Academy learn to hate the American form of government. American icons are mocked. The Statue of Liberty is ridiculed as "a French prostitute." The only good government, the only Catholic government, is monarchy.

Democracy is evil. But Fr. Angles carries the critique further. It seems that good government comes to fruition in the anti-Semitic dictatorship of Nazi Germany. In an absurd transformation of good and evil, the mass murderer, demon worshiping, anti-Catholic, Adolf Hitler is metamorphosed into a type of Christian King. Fr. Angles has an apartment full of Nazi paraphernalia which he shows to favored boys. He shows them the Nazi ceremonial daggers worn by officers of the Third Reich. He is proud of the vintage Mercedes owned by his family, which once was owned by Adolf Hitler. A one-time student at the academy was favored by a special meeting with Fr. Angles a couple of years ago. In his private room on campus, Angles treated him and a friend to a pizza and a showing of the Nazi propaganda film, Triumph of the Will.

He played the film back, stopping it in places, commenting with fervor and reading from the stack of Hitler speech transcripts he had at his side. Leni Riefenstahl, the film's producer and a chief propagandist for the Third Reich, is still alive and resides in South America. Fr. Angles visits her often (he informs his students), and boasts of the association.

St. Mary's, Kansas, is a town driven by fear and controversy. When one father of a student at the academy talked of "Gestapo tactics," he meant that a moral tyranny rules the campus, that children are intimidated, brow-beaten, and informed upon by other children belonging to a perfectionist cadre called the Children of Mary. He means that people who disagree with Fr. Angles or cross him in any way are condemned from the pulpit, shunned and even physically threatened. Thirteen Academy students were expelled or suspended in the academic year 1990-91 for various imperfections in themselves or in their parents. Another 37 were withdrawn by distraught or shunned parents. A grandmother was refused Communion because her daughter had been shunned. A child was forced to kneel in the snow in the dead of winter for an hour as punishment for some minor infraction. Informants tell Fr. Angles if they spot a Society woman wearing pants in town. She and her family are then condemned from the pulpit. Children are taught to follow the rule of the priests and not their parents. If they follow their parents' authority instead, they are told that they are going to hell. They are told that their parents have satanic minds."

If you have read previous articles describing pernicious cults, you will recognize all the marks of a cult in the fortress at St. Mary's. A 10-year-old boy was brought to the clinic for a checkup. The doctor told the mother, "if I thought it would do any good, I'd turn you in for child abuse if you send that boy back to St. Mary's." The parents removed the boy from St. Mary's and placed him in public school, even though the priests taught the children that a child sent to public school would go to hell.

Psychological tests given public school entrants revealed a boy so traumatized that he was judged unable to function in a classroom setting. The family has now left the Society and left town.

Sandy Cossette's daughter planned to marry a young man from town who was not a Society member. She was denounced publicly from the pulpit. Her family was shunned. Now that family, still living in the town, is condemned to hell, according to the priests at St. Mary's. This type of supernatural sanction, perpetrated on strongly faithful Catholics, who know there is a heaven and a hell, and who have been taught that "Father is always right," is what brings St. Mary's right into line with the Moonies, the Hare Krishnas, the cult at Mount St. Michael, and all the other destructive cults that wield the stick of damnation over their flocks. "Outside the Society, there is no salvation," and anyone who crosses Fr. Angles is outside the Society. It is no wonder that one priest formerly associated with the Society describes St. Mary's as "a Jonestown waiting to happen."

A few members in the growing army of the ostracized, sick and tired of being threatened by Fr. Angles, have bought guns to protect their families. Meanwhile, a stalwart in the pro-Angles faction says that if criticism continues, "there will be blood on the streets of St. Mary's."

How have things comes to this pass? Not too long ago, a woman who had dared criticize Fr. Angles had an accident and went to the hospital. When she returned, she found her house had been burnt to the ground. There is no evidence that Fr. Angles and his henchmen were responsible, but they take a kind of spiritual credit for it. A woman caught wearing slacks received a letter from the administration saying "anyone who crosses Fr. Angles meets with tragedy," a reference to the house burning. This is the message that comes from the pulpit and spreads across the town to breed fear and, increasingly, a kind of desperate rage.

A couple months ago, a crony of Fr. Angles purchased a shipment of 15 or 20 SKS (Chinese) automatic rifles from a local gun dealer. An observer tells me that these guns are reappearing, one by one, in the hands of devoted Society members in the town. Not long ago, a friend went target shooting out by the Kansas river and ran into a bunch of these amateur marksmen trying to hone their skills. St. Mary's is not a happy town. It is a town face-to-face with the possibility of bloodshed.

THE HITERISM OF FR. ANGLES

The rehabilitation of Adolf Hitler is not just an aberration of Fr. Angles. The first American priest ordained into the Society of St. Pius X was one Father Gregory Post. One day, he took a plane flight and arrived at the San Jose, California, airport dressed in the fun regalia of an SS German army officer, complete with helmet, boots and swastika arm band. San Jose Pius X members who picked him up at the airport were indignant, and the then district superior of the society had to fly out to San Jose to reprimand the priest and cool off the situation.

There is a virulent sickness of hatred and Hitlerism running through the traditional Catholic movement. Why these folks have taken on the clothes of the very devil they detest is a matter for God to sort out. The strain runs through the Society of St. Pius X in France, whose priests see Marshall Petain as a hero and his pro-Nazi Vichy government of World War II as a paragon of virtue.

Catholic traditionalism as a whole in France is imbued with extreme right-wing politics. On the one side is the historical dream of a restored Catholic Monarchy, allied with pro-Hitler, anti-Semitic fascism. On the other side is Communism, liberalism democracy, the French Revolution, the Resistance and the Free French of World War II, and Charles de Gaulle. And this odd alliance of past Catholic glory and present right-wing extremism in politics finds a home in the special education program offered at St. Mary's Academy.

Both in France and in the United States, there is a question in traditional Catholic movements whether religion is informing politics or the other way around. Early in this century, the anti-Semitic Action Française supported the Catholic Church as a bastion against liberalism and socialism, but many in the Action Française were simply right-wing atheists who used the Church for their own purposes. Many of the priests in the United States who were to form the kernel of the traditionalist sectarians were originally members of the Orthodox Roman Catholic Movement (ORCM). The ORCM was founded and run by Father Francis E. Fenton, who was also on the governing board of the John Birch Society. Now defunct as an organization, it was ripped apart by internal dissension, the ORCM's paranoid notions of wholesale Communist infiltration of U.S. Government and educational structures still motivates many in the traditional movement. Fenton is now a sedevacantist, while the John Birch Society has been branded an Americanist heresy by the leaders of the Society of St. Pius X. In sectarian movements, political or religious, your closest allies soon become your most dangerous enemies. Exaggerated political fears are often a deeper credo for some people than is the belief in God.

Impugning a person's religion because of his politics is a bad business, except when the religion disappears beneath the politics. This point was reached on the left when parish priests in Nicaragua took up arms for the Sandinistas, and when liberation theologians stole Catholic forms and rites and attached them to Marxist sacraments of revolutionary violence. It is reached on the right when children are taught that Adolph Hitler was a kind of saint and that his "Final Solution, if there ever was such a program, was an appropriate Christian solution to the 'Jewish Problem.'" With virulent anti-Semitism taught at St. Mary's and Winona, with other deranged doctrines concerning the U.S. Government and the Bill of Rights, with the belief that an women are damned eternally, it is no doubt true that Richard Williamson and his clique are ruining the Society.
