EMAIL FROM DR. BOND
Dear Friends,
The suppressed Society of St. John has redesigned the homepage of its web site in hopes of continuing to defraud unsuspecting Catholic donors. In fact, the SSJ is once again seeking to reinvent itself so that it can rise phoenix-like from the ashes of its own self-destruction.
Here is how the SSJ is now presenting itself:
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Return to Holiness
We are a civil not-for-profit corporation open to clergy, religious and laity, seeking to work for the renewal of the Church and our civilization by helping people to access more fully the sources of Christian life. Indeed, we are convinced that the root cause of the crisis in our world is the loss of a living contact with the principles that give us God-life. Chief among them are the liturgy—the Eucharist, the other sacraments, and the Liturgy of the Hours—and the prayerful pondering of the Scriptures that tradition calls “lectio divina.”
Our first task then, is to rediscover these traditional sources, to uncover the forgotten springs of tradition and drink again their pristine, life giving waters. But we cannot stop there. Having fortified ourselves, we must seek to lead others to these springs, to guide them in contemporary language, in a language that has meaning for them in their daily lives. And, because one drink is not enough, we seek to create a way of life that both clergy and families can share in common, fully bringing these springs into their day-to-day journey towards heaven.
---------------------------------------------------------------
When I first read the SSJ's new title, "The Return to Holiness," I thought it might actually be a reference to the SSJ itself. Were the SSJ members actually going to confess their sins publicly, beg forgiveness, and then proclaim a new beginning? Certainly not. In their megalomania, the members of the SSJ are still lauding themselves as the modern world's true guides to heaven. Having wasted over five million dollars of donations from Catholic donors, having seduced and sodomized those whom they were supposed to guide, the SSJ still continues to present itself as the savior of the Church and civilization to boot. These perverts will not stop seeking new victims because "one drink is not enough" to satisfy them.
The SSJ is now poised to save the world from Paraguay rather than Pennsylvania. They claim to have a "green light" to reestablish themselves in South America. Is there a Catholic bishop in Paraguay foolish enough to allow these wolves among his sheep? And is Bishop Martino of the Diocese of Scranton willing to allow the priests of the SSJ to excardinate from Scranton so that they may incardinate in Paraguay? One would think that fear of liability of alone would give Bishop Martino pause, but the Church's track record in moving abusive priests from country to country has not been a good one. Although the SSJ as a group has been suppressed, we still have no word from the Diocese of Scranton as to the individual canonical status and fate of each clerical member of the SSJ.
The SSJ's redesigned web site reveals that the SSJ is hoping to deceive all of the people all of the time. The SSJ has not complied with Bishop Martino's decree that their web site must carry a prominent notice stating that the SSJ is no longer a recognized ecclesial entity of the Roman Catholic Church. Yet the SSJ's statement above carefully substitutes the word "Christian" for "Catholic." Hence, the SSJ appears to be trying to walk a line which is intended to appease Bishop Martino while simultaneously deceiving supporters, both old and new, by means of posted pictures of Bishop Timlin ordaining one of their own, as well as a picture of Carlos Urrutigoity pontificating while dressed in collar and cassock. The name of the game is ambiguity, which has always been the SSJ's bread and butter.
If the SSJ manages to begin anew in South America, this sodomite cult will have come full circle. As most of you will remember, Carlos Urrutigoity, the SSJ's founder, was expelled from the SSPX seminary in La Reja, Argentina for his homosexual behavior. He then fled to Winona, Minnesota where he was given a second chance by the SSPX authorities there. Having been subsequently expelled from Winona for insubordination, Urrutigoity made his way to the Diocese of Scranton where Bishop Timlin admitted Urrutigoity and his entourage because Timlin liked the look of their posteriors. Now, suppressed and disgraced in Scranton, Urrutigoity and his fruity followers have made their way back to South America. If they are allowed to incardinate there, can there be any doubt that the SSJ will eventually reappear in North America as a group of Catholic priests in good standing?
We will keep you posted as the SSJ saga continues.
Pax vobiscum,
Dr. Jeffrey M. Bond
