More Accusations Against Modernist Collegeville

The Hollow Shell of Modernism

Editor: Father Francisco Schulte OSB is a tall, fair complected man with a big voice and boyish face. Despite the credible accusations against him, he's been in Italy for a while, possibly working on a thesis at the Benedictine College of Sant Anselmo as of 2010, but he's found a stranger place to hide. In any event, Sant Anselmo is a great place if you want to learn how to give back rubs and modernism.

We've been informed at one time that Fr. Francisco is a very holy and unjustly accused priest. Actually, according to one eyewitness, he organized a "Mass" at the High School of St. John's Preparatory where he was employed as the Campus Minister with the Marxist religion instructor, to portray God as a woman and engaged with her in a dialogue homily, where she played the voice of God, but many people aren't worried by such clear betrayals of trust and hypocrisy.

This recent report is consonant with what we've been saying about the common causality between liberalism, or heresy, and the homosexual abuse scandal which allows the various people in charge to justify the institution of programs which continue to attack the integrity of Catholic teaching and even corrupt the young, like the Talking About Touching program, which exposes children to degradation at their early and formative stages. You thought your children were safe in Catholic Schools, think again.

This whole "sex-abuse crisis" has been part of a systematic attack from forces outside and within the Church to continue the degradation of innocence and the darkening of intellects and the damnation of souls to Hell as a consequence.

Forces without, to include the media bosses and political interests like the American Civil Liberties Union, will continue to pursue legal avenues, while within, the Bishops will give the appearance of dealing with the situation by stonewalling against legitimate reform, covering for their homosexual culprits while continuing to foster the atmosphere which promotes the abuse in the first place, an atmosphere of modernism, which St. Pius X once called, "the synthesis of all heresies".

Father Francisco is a credibly accused as a sexual predator and since the time he's been on restriction, he's been employed in positions of trust by the Abbey of San Anselmo in Rome since around 2006 and otherwise employed as a marriage counselor and a tour guide of all things. Most recently, he has even found sanctuary at the promising "conservative" Monastery of San Benedetto, which is not, as we're elated to discover this afternoon, is not to be confused by a different Monastery about two hours away, that has the same name, St. Benedict of Norcia.

Presently, a man from Puerto Rico has accused Father Francisco of abusing him in the early seventies.

Just to remind you, Father Francisco has been credibly accused since the late nineties and on restriction. Despite this, as we have mentioned before, the Abbot of St. John's Abbey at Collegeville continues to sandbag, stonewall and deny there is a voracious cancer that is eating at the heart of the place.

Check out the utterly wreckovated church this Monastery has, and pay close attention to the tone and cadence of the presenter's voice and the things he decides to dwell upon. No real Catholic priest or religious I've ever met sounds like that or says those kinds of flaccid, and heretical sounding things.



Editor: Correction as of, 5/3/11, 1820 Hours GMT: The Monastery referred to is not the newly restored Monastery at Subiaco, but another one by the same name some two hours distance from there. This is not to be confused with the other monastery with the same name, San Benedetto of Norcia, which as I pointed out above is completely and utterly different from Subiaco where Father Francisco Schulte OSB is now said to be temporarily residing. We apologize for the confusion.

Marxist Pine Curtain in Collegeville

Arrested Development Trustfund Kids

Editor: Abbot John Klassen is a trustfund kid who runs one of the largest, fastest dying Monasteries in the world. He is not only a bully, but he's an expert liar, or could it be that he's in denial like a drunkard or an opium eater? He reminds us of another political trustifarian, Karl Marx. [+Klassen is complicit in these crimes because he continues to protect those who committed them and lie for them] For the Abbot, like Karl Marx, had wealthy benefactors that enabled him and those close to him to live irresponsible lives, insulated from growing up, and capable of grave moral evil who didn't just molest other people's children, but his own. In any event, both options are possible. Most modern religious live comfortable lives as the beneficiaries of charitable trusts or wealthy patrons. The only thing really distinguishing most from trustifarians, rentier kids or Paris Hilton's friends, is the misappropriated air of respectability they enjoy and occasionally, some kind of religious lip service to a monastic tradition.

Many trust fund kids, as they present themselves and as they are portrayed in the media, aren't what you'd call philanthropists, but like Abbott John Klassen, they are often in a state of denial about their general situation. Not only is there a complete lack of charity in Abbott Klassen's approach, but there's a lot of irresponsibility as well.  For example, he plans on allowing a sexual predator, Father Francisco Schulte, to go back to work with children again, and he's also been destroying, or losing the records on file about the various perpetrators they have aided in the past do their Kinseyan dance.

Father Klassen recently made an untrue and off the cuff remark about the website, "Behind the Pine Curtain".  His obvious exaggeration, if not outright calumny, goes far to establish the kind of childish approach to the religious life these men have been fostering for decades. If only it were Pine Curtain's mission to run St. John's into the ground.  He could actually say that about this blog, because we think that St. John's is probably too far gone to be restored to the original purpose of its founders.  If it were ours to say, the Monks of St. John's would be brought to account for betraying more than three generations of Catholics with erroneous representations of the Catholic Faith, and their own imposture as Catholic religious.  St. Benedict of Nursia didn't plan on Monasteries being full of homosexual social workers who routinely go on pleasure vacations to Thailand and disobey the lawful commands of their superiors, but that's St. John's.  It's not Catholic.  It's a hell of syncretism and deceit.

Basically, St. Johns' leadership is irresponsible, dishonest and evil, and the really interesting thing in all of this is that Collegeville has been persecuting Catholics just as steadfastly as any Communist behind the Iron Curtain. Try arguing against one of those nuns or liberal faculty members in the theology department with the right stuff as a poor student, and you'll find your grade substantially lowered and consequently, your career potential significantly lowered, at least in theology.

We think Mr. Marker's choice for the title of his blog is as brilliant as it is accurate, because what goes on at that place is nothing short than the nastiest most underhanded persecution of the Catholic Church in the world, and one of the biggest frauds too. Those of you who have listened to Bishop Sheen's talks should know of Communist infiltration in the Catholic Church as they were described by ex-Communist and Attorney, Bella Dodd. Indeed, what goes on behind the Pine Curtain, often stays behind the Pine Curtain, including students who go missing like Josh Guimond. Who would guess that not only is your friendly priest, professor, alleged friend, a homosexual predator, but he's a Marxist as well.  If nothing else, the place needs an exorcism and a visit by the spirit of Augusto Pinochet.

Abbot Klassen Still Doesn’t Get It
Posted on April 20, 2011 by admin

An excerpt from an April 15, 2011 article [ View ] in the St. John’s University student newspaper regarding the recent “Listening Sessions” held by Abbot John Klassen:

One audience member asked Klassen to address the website Behind the Pine Curtain, run by Patrick Marker, as many think this is the only source to find information regarding pending cases. “It’s a real thorn in our sides because the person who runs that has one agenda and that is to run St. John’s into the ground,” Klassen said.

Attorney: St. John's Abbey abuse suits settled

Editor: Make a decision. What is St. John's Abbey anyway? You want to be social workers, political activists, cavaliers or Monks? Is there anyone who thinks that this place will change its stripes without significant personnel changes? You can tell on the Prey, Tell blog that nothing's changed over there. They're still making excuses for irresponsible behavior and dishonesty over there.

If they're not capable of following even simple rules with respect to praying the Liturgy, you can't expect much else of them. It's probably a safe bet that they'll continue living double lives like David Berger, and they will continue ignoring whatever comes from Rome that doesn't comfit with their lifestyle, including the vow of chastity they took. It was part of Benedict of Nursia's famous Rule.

Anyhow who has read the rule, and knows this Modernist place of diabolical delusion will understand the great abyss that separates how these men live the Rule of St. Benedict and the Rule itself; sexual continence is more of a suggestion and don't get us started about poverty. Like parasitic worms, the Monks do almost none of their own labor; They subcontract, again, forget about the rule of St. Benedict on that subject:

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Nine men who filed lawsuits claiming sexual abuse at the hands of monks or priests have reached settlements with St. John's Abbey in Collegeville, the plaintiffs' attorney said Monday.

The accused clergy all taught at St. John's Preparatory School or were assigned to parishes, attorney Jeff Anderson said. He declined to disclose a dollar amount.

The alleged abuse occurred from the 1960s to 2004, Anderson said. At least one of the alleged offenders is now dead.

The settlement requires St. John's to send a letter to anyone who attended the prep school, disclosing the names of alleged offenders against minors, Anderson said.

Anderson distributed a draft of the letter, which names 17 priests and brothers, to reporters on Monday. Anderson said he expects Abbot John Klassen, who heads the monastery, to sign the letter according to the terms of the settlement.

None of the men accused in the lawsuits still works at the school and none has ever been criminally prosecuted, Anderson said.

Modernist Monastery Attacks New Translation of Missal: Homosexual Culture Promotes Abuse

Big surprise, homosexual super-culture promotes dissent.  Never mind that the whole thing could be solved by simply returning to the pre-54 Missal.  Father Ruff has, after much soul-searching, to be sure, has decided to call it quits. Maybe he should quit pretending to be a Catholic and a Benedictine? Why doesn't he just join the Unitarians?  Well, Pro-homosexual "America" has published his open letter.  Birds of a feather, etc...

Remember, this is the guy who recently lent an uncritical ear to the yammering of Germany's homosexual enthusiast David Berger, who recently got fired from a seminary faculty in Rome after he was shown as a promoter and practitioner of homosexuality. C'mon people, St. John's is the haunt of predatory homosexual vampires who want to destroy the Church as much as they want to corrupt and destroy young minds.  The only reason this dump still puts out a shingle with the word Catholic on it is because of lazy, good-for-nothing, laymen who turn a blind eye.  This place really deserves to be shut down by competent Church authorities.  Still, nothing heard about any disciplining for an evil Benedictine there who promotes homosexuality on your dime, [If you're stupid enough to give money to Collegeville that is]. 

You know it's got to be bad when Jeff Mirus at Catholic Culture catches on.

So, this should come as a surprise to no one, especially not the homosexual super-culture of the Modernist Monastery in the Midwest, surely the most ugly brutalist, Mies Van Der Rohe inspired pile of concrete in the world....

With a heavy heart, I have recently made a difficult decision concerning the new English missal. I have decided to withdraw from all my upcoming speaking engagements on the Roman Missal in dioceses across the United States. After talking with my confessor and much prayer, I have concluded that I cannot promote the new missal translation with integrity [You're worried about integrity now?]. I’m sure bishops want a speaker who can put the new missal in a positive light, and that would require me to say things I do not believe.[Knowing the Bishops, some of them would, at least, prefer a Catholic speaker]

I love the Church, [With caveats and qualifications] I love the sacred liturgy [You love defacing the liturgy], I love chant in Latin and English, [An artistic conceit?] and I treasure being involved with all these as a monk and priest. It has been an honor to serve until recently as chairman of the music committee of the International Commission on English in the Liturgy (ICEL) that prepared all the chants for the new missal. But my involvement in that process, as well as my observation of the Holy See’s handling of scandal, has gradually opened my eyes to the deep problems in the structures of authority of our church. [Yes, the practice of your community of continuing to ordain and tonsure homosexuals is a problem with authority, we suppose.]

The forthcoming missal is but a part of a larger pattern of top-down impositions by a central authority that does not consider itself accountable to the larger church. [Join a pro-homosexual, pro-anarchist "church" then, if you don't like top down arrangements.  It's not like there aren't other ecclesial arrangements more suitable to your predilections.]   When I think of how secretive the translation process was, how little consultation was done with priests or laity, how the Holy See allowed a small group to hijack [Probably that's what happened at St. John's in the thirties when Liturgical Abuses became the norm, among other kinds of abuses, to be sure] the translation at the final stage, how unsatisfactory the final text is, how this text was imposed on national conferences of bishops in violation of their legitimate episcopal authority, how much deception and mischief have marked this process—and then when I think of Our Lord’s teachings on service and love and unity…I weep. [Bullcrap]

I see a good deal of disillusionment with the Catholic Church among my friends and acquaintances. [Good, then leave.] Some leave the Catholic Church out of conviction, some gradually drift away, some join other denominations, some remain Catholic with difficulty. My response is to stay in this church for life and do my best to serve her. This I hope to do by stating the truth as I see it, with charity and respect. I would be ready to participate in future liturgical projects under more favorable conditions.

I am sorry for the difficulties I am causing others by withdrawing, but I know this is the right thing to do. I will be praying for you and all leaders in our church.

Pax in Christo,

Fr. Anthony Ruff, O.S.B.

There are a lot of other places you could go, Tony, and be an effeminate social worker with a decent salary.

The Anglican Use Society of St. Bede the Venerable

Founding Members of the Venerable Bede Society

The Ancient and mighty Tertullian once asked, "what hath Athens to do with Jerusalem?" We'd like to ask a similar question, "what hath anglo-Catholicism to do with Collegeville?"

Collegeville is an ugly place that unabashedly shoots for a contrived and cozy get-along-with the world complacency. Anglo-Catholicism is about the beauty, or at least it should be.

"Abbot" John Klassen, an inveterate Old Liberal, has given his permission for the Anglo-Catholics to say Mass at Collegeville. You can see from the photos provided at the Anglo-Catholic, that the setting isn't the most appealing. Well, you can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can't fool them all the time.

But now St. John's has another faux Catholic cyberspot in addition to its other one, "Prey, Tell", that's called, "The Society of the Venerable Bede".

Nevertheless, "charity thinketh no evil," and so we ought to rejoice that something good is coming out of Collegeville; yet, we must ask why the powers that be at St. John's would want to promote ad-orientem, Anglo-Catholic liturgy when such liturgy is opposed to everything they support. Could it be that they hate everything Roman so much that traditional Anglican forms of liturgy are ok? Or is the Anglican Use just the next liturgical experiment in an attempt try something "new"?


The Anglican Use Society of St. Bede the Venerableolic,

On Thankfulness in the Christmas Season. Is Pray Tell a Catholic Blog?

While we’ll probably never know why, the liberal Benedictine blog run by our *friends* in Collegeville has removed the post on the blasphemous and sacrilegious “adaptation” of a traditional Catholic hymn to contemporary “lyrics.” EF covered the story here:

Scripture says that whenever a sinner repents, all heaven rejoices, so we should as well. Indeed, we must also rejoice in this holy season that the Holy See has held back the deluge of “liberal” “liturgy” that would otherwise ensue if the “liturgists” at Collegeville were free of Roman oversight. For a particularly horrid example of what they would concoct, take a look at what their Coreligionists have done to Presbyterian worship:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4pr_E5Nbuc&feature=player_embedded

Having mentioned protestant worship, we ought to ask if Pray Tell is a Catholic blog. While Catholic Benedictines started it and are obsessed with the improved translation of the Roman Missal, the blog’s description does not use the word “Catholic” to describe itself. Perhaps it’s just a “catholic” blog.

http://www.praytellblog.com/index.php/about/

So when a Lutheran contributor wrote about the last O Antiphon, should we be surprised?

"Catholic" Blog Defends David Berger's Homosexual Deception

 Homosexual friendly clergy at "Pray, Tell" blog, hosted by some priests at a Modernist Monastery in the Midwest are focused like laser beams on what a dishonest homosexual activist from Germany and former theologian has to say about the Catholic Church and Its legitimate aspirations.  Berger's already accused the Church of hypocrisy about Its position about sodomy, why doesn't he join St. John's Abbey and all the other liberals who pose as Catholics and found their own religion?  It's ironic indeed that one of the largest centers of homosexual predators in the country if not the world also hosts a website concerned about the sexual health of Traditionalist priests.

Speaking of aspirations, Berger is enjoying almost universal praise from the anti-Catholic press.  The bloggers there, after insisting they are very familiar with Berger's work are very defensive of the homosexual charlatan.  If they ever met at St. John's Abbey for a conference, you can be assured there'd be a mutual admiration society set up.  One of the homosexual enabling blog's commenters complained that he didn't know what Berger's "professional" status in the Catholic Church is.  Well, Berger still teaches at a Catholic high school in Germany and like a lot of schools who hire active homosexuals either knowingly or unknowingly often refuse to fire them even after they've proven themselves to be less than honest.

Father Ruff rises to Berger's defense, insisting that he's read the deceptive German sodomite:

 Fr. Allan, if you haven’t read the book by Berger, perhaps you should step back from comparing it with Michael Rose’s book.

Berger is a bright theologian (doctorate in the field). I’m not so sure that Michael Rose even claims to be a theologian. Rose holds that homosexual orientation and homosexual people is the problem. We need “good men” again. Berger, rather, discusses the problematic ways people do or don’t deal with their orientation. I think this is a significant difference. I find the former homophobic, but not the latter.

I wouldn’t lump Berger and Rose together.

Yes, the latter is a lying homosexual poser, a confidence man who admitted to winning over people in Traditionalist circles to earn income while he  was living in a homosexual relationship with hiis "partner".  The former is an honorable man and was very accurate about what was going on at the Louvain, which at the latest had abandoned its Catholic identity and will be closing out in any case, due to a lack of interest in what they have to offer. 

Another blog contributor, Father Cody Unterseher is worried that this histrionic creature's book won't continue being carried by Ave Maria Press, thanks Cody:

One wonders if Sapientia Press of Ave Maria University will be courageous enough to keep Berger’s little book Thomas Aquinas & the Liturgy in print. It’s an very useful contribution, and I’d hate to see it fall victim to unnecessary and unhelpful suppression.

Josh Guimond, Disappeared Eight Years and the Tragedy of "Catholic" Education and Gay Teenager Newspaper Editor at Catholic Highschool

Missing for Eight Long Years

It's obvious that the corruption of the young continues to this day in allegedly Catholic schools, obvious that is to many, but not the boards, the Religious Orders once entrusted to educate the young, the Chanceries, the parents who unwisely send their children to these schools and thereby participate in the corruption, and ultimately a surrounding debased society which has no culture, no sense of shame, no fear of God.  We know this tragic story is almost a decade long, but how long must these ecclesiastical charlatans receive the approbation and trust to educate the young with their imposture of Catholicism?

 Benilde-St. Margaret's with the hyphenated name of a prosperous divorcee, is a combined, and unfortunately, co-ed school founded by the Christian Brothers and Sisters of St. Joseph Carondolet with strong "Benedictine" influences while it receives spiritual and intellectual support from the Modernist Monastery which was recently so rude and disobedient to Archbishop Nienstedt in their "Rainbow Sashes", but now, the student newspaper has decided to publish its views on the Archbishop's DVD and deny that he has any right to teach.  To the credit of the posh but culturally debased, suburban school, the offending and poorly written editorial was removed.  Unlike the editor of this blog, we don't feel that the piece was particularly well-written, but it is cause for concern about what kind of job is being done to educate the young and who might be encouraging this young man to express himself in this way.

Do these leftist termites have any business educating children?  It's been eight years since Josh Guimond disappeared, and the deception at St. John's Abbey continues.

One of the suspects and a homosexual predator himself, Father Bruce Wollmering, dies a traumatic and violent death on Abbey grounds.

Editor:  We erred.  Benilde St. Margret's is a school which is an insalubrious combination of a boy's academy run by the "Christan Brothers" known as Benilde and St. Margret's, its counterpart, which was an all-girls school run by the now almost completely extinct and heretical Sisters of St. Joseph Crandolet.  We thank you for your kind solicitation and patience.

Ugly Architecture and Faux Catholicism Combine to Deform Minds in St. Louis Park

Benedictine Sophist Undermines Archbishop's Authority at Modernist Abbey

[Collegeville] Dad disciplines the children with a sound lesson in the significance of obedience, and dirty old uncle Rene gives the kids candy behind his back. We're starting a count-down to see when this "philosopher" is disciplined.

For a philosophy professor, Father McGraw has a very hard time telling the difference between truth and error, and presenting something one knows is false as the truth is a lie.

Father McGraw must know about the existing directive in canon law about giving Holy Communion to manifest heretics and public sinners, but he's too busy singing a Newchurch into being.

“It’s a symbol of the GLBT movement en masse, and it was intended as a protest,” McGrath told MPR. “It was pretty obvious.”

Rev. Rene McGraw, a philosophy professor at St. John’s, said that he celebrated a small Mass later that evening and gave all the members of the group communion. “My understanding of church law is that one is not to deny communion to anyone unless he or she is a public sinner, and that has traditionally been interpreted very narrowly,” said McGraw, according to the AP. “My instinct was these are people who were in need, I’m supportive of them, therefore I’m happy to say mass for them.”

However, the Vatican has confirmed that Rainbow Sashers cannot receive communion while publicly standing in opposition to Church teaching on sexuality, as stated by Cardinal Francis Arinze, the Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, in 2005.

Collegeville: NON SERVIAM

One of the Monks at this venerable institution once said, quoting Milton, "Better to rule in Hell than to serve in heaven." In another professor's mouth, it might have been a case of dramatic posing to capture the attention of the class, but you always got the sense he was rooting for the bad guys, and as subsequent events would have it, he was.




Father Ruff, OSB wrote,

Humility and complete dependence upon God are very good things. Jesus spoke often of them. The problem is that kneeling for Communion suggests, rather, complete dependence upon a clergyman who feeds you like a child. There is nothing in the teachings of Jesus to even hint that Christians should have this childish attitude toward ordained authorities in their community.

The Connection Between Liturgical Abuse and Child Abuse

The Clerical Sex Abuse Capital of the World is Also the Liturgical Abuse Capital. It all started here with one of the greatest liturgical abusers, Father Virgil Michel and his notorious companion, the Faustian, crypto-Marxist Eric Gill.


In discussing the connection between clerical sexual and liturgical abuse, a connection we've been making for a while, it would be encouraging if these people would also begin making the fateful connection of sexual abuse with all forms of pedagogical abuse, including Modernism. In his blog yesterday, Father Z cites MommyWrites, discussing a causal connection between Child Abuse and bad liturgy. Bad liturgy is a component of modernism and to confirm this in a very direct way is to talk about the home of bad Liturgy, which is Collegeville, Minnesota and its flagship quarterly, Worship which was originally Orate Fratres. The Magazine involved a collaboration between the Liturgical Revolutionary (and abuser), Father Virgil Michel and the notorious Eric Gill.

Eric Gill envisioned bad liturgy before most people had experienced it. People in Minnesota were being experimented upon in the 1930s as this blog proves, notably under the tutelage and pernicious influence of Collegeville.



Some who are familiar with Gill's work, will notice early wreckovations, which were fairly common already in the 1930s when Gill was at large:



Of course, you might say, what has interior design got to do with Liturgy? Quite a lot actually, these designs are meant to, if they don't in fact accomplish this, accompany what was in the Pre-conciliar time, the liturgical abuse of saying Mass facing the people.

It's important also to mention the connection, because while Virgil Michel was editor of Orate Fratres with Eric Gill's contribution of the cover art for the first edition; they are both Liturgists and designers in their own right and had passed their legacy to men like Frank Kazmarcek OSB(who is not an abuser of children, but of buildings), Jerome Tupa OSB (who stands accused as a homosexual pederast and is a "painter") and Dunstan Moorse OSB, who is the current Editor of what is now "Worship" produced at Collegeville.

Morse is himself a liturgical abuser and an abuser of children. He was credibly accused by a large number of boys and yet retained his position at St. John's Abbey and despite being on "restriction" travels quite freely throughout the world.


the more recent Editor, Father Dunstan Morse is a credibly accused child abuser.

Pro-Abortion Monastery is Dying of the Cancer of Modernism

The President of the American-Cassian Congregation of Benedictines, Abbot Timothy Kelly O.S.B. is suffering from cancer. He was the Abbot of St. John's Abbey in Collegeville, Minnesota. This of course, raises thoughts as to who will carry on as the old Monks go on to their just reward.

It's interesting that in the last few weeks since the passing away of Father Paul Marx, founder of the pro-Life organization H.L.I., that the current Abbot made a very controversial statement about the infamous "seamless garment" which he insisted mendaciously, was what Father Paul was all about.

Not even lies will save you from death and the terrible judgement of God.

Considering St. John's poor performance in Catholic fidelity, especially as regards birth control and abortion, it's ironic that they are dying out. Could it be because they've contributed to the spiritual moribund atmosphere of the surrounding culture, that those vocations who might have otherwise come to their doors were aborted? Sources in Rome say that Collegeville is top heavy and will die out; it's days are numbered.
