@AndersonCause@scrantonTT@WNEP Pilon served as a Scranton priest all over the world. Why didn’t Scranton have a better grasp on what he was doing?
Scranton, PA (seminary, Servants Minor of St Francis)
Lincoln, NE
Luçon, France
Taum, Ireland
Sault Sainte Marie, Canada
Peterborough, Canada
@AndersonCause@scrantonTT@WNEP Also running a welcome back series in Lincoln in spring 2004….again, while on LOA for Scranton and not on the books for Lincoln!
@AndersonCause@scrantonTT@WNEP While he was noted as being on “Leave of Absence” in OCD 2004, he was actually serving in Lincoln, NE. Here’s an Easter Services add from April 2004 in the Lincoln Journal Star.
@AndersonCause@scrantonTT@WNEP This is the weekly newsletter for St Michael’s Parish in Scranton from June 2002. Clearly Pilon (aka Anthony Lawrence) was a known quantity at the FSSP run parish! Tell me again he didn’t serve in Scranton?!?!
@AndersonCause@scrantonTT@WNEP He was a member of the Servants Minor of St Francis and perhaps the Society of St John (unconfirmed until now). Official Catholic Directory places him in Scranton at least for 2002-2003. Part of a two-man society . The other person in the SMF? On Scranton’s credibly accused list!
@NikkiHaley Don’t vilify international talent, many of whom are seeking education in the US before jobs. At Clemson and USC Columbia, international students are 5-6% if the total student population. Those students pay out of state tuition and contribute to the SC economy.
@NikkiHaley Approx. half of S&E workers require a bachelors or higher for the jobs they do. Many need master’s or doctoral degrees. The US isn’t producing the US born workers in STEM. About 20% of entire workforce is foreign born — even with retraining it doesn’t fill this gap.
My dissertation research on international students pursuing master’s degrees in engineering seems timely with the conversations about H1B visas. Bottom line: We rely on foreign born STEM talent to keep the US competitive. #stem#internationaltalent
“In 2021, 57% of master’s degrees awarded to temporary visa holders were in S&E fields, compared with 19% for U.S. citizens and permanent residents…doctoral degree recipients, the vast majority (83%) of temporary visa holders earned degrees in S&E”
We just don’t have the pipeline of workers with high tech skills. Foreign born STEM workers — who often come to the US to pursue grad education — are vital to the US remaining competitive in the global marketplace.
@mfjlewis Charges were dropped recently (though they can bring charges again)….does Scranton know where he is living? I’d like to know his canonical status since these guys just up and go rogue….
@mfjlewis There are many as you point out. Jean-Pierre Pilon a wannabe FSSP joined abuser Tetherow’s Servants Minor. Pilon was arrested for abuse in Canada.
