"Canceled Priest" Conference in Chicago Was the Perfect Place to Tell Many About the Most "Canceled" Religious in the History of the Catholic Church -- Sister Lucia dos Santos of Fatima. "The Lavender Mafia" Has Been Engaged in Criminality of the Highest Order For A Very Long Time.

The "Canceled Priest" Conference Begins With Speech by "Unplanned" Producer Abby Johnson

Dr. Chojnowski: Due partly to the gracious donation of a supporter of Sister Lucy Truth, I was able to attend the 2nd Annual Conference of "Canceled Priests" held in Chicago on June 23 and 24th. For a conference of this type it seemed to me like a very large gathering, the number that the organizers gave out was 400. This would be very large for such a conference, since I remember that when I was invited to speak at various Fatima Center or Catholic Family News conferences organized by Fr. Nicholas Gruner and John Vennari, everyone was happy to get somewhat over 100 people in attendance. 

There were friends of Sister Lucy Truth who asked the organizers of this conference, namely Fr. Lovell, to give me 15 minutes to present the investigation into the substitution of another woman for the authentic seer of Fatima. However, there was no response to our friends' requests. Even for "Canceled Priests" the idea of the "Lavender Mafia" --- the strong words of Fr. James Altman --- "bumping off" Sister Lucia of Fatima, and replacing her with another woman of unknown origin, is still too difficult to swallow. Without having a venue to speak, I did my best to inform or remind as many of the attendees as I could about the Catholic "cancelation" of the ages. To my happy surprise, about half of the attendees that I was able to speak with had heard about the Sister Lucy Truth investigation and, of the ones who had heard about it, all excepted the finding that there was indeed an imposter put in the place of the real Sister Lucy dos Santos of Fatima. 

With this said, I must say, also that there was a surprising number of people who had never heard about this investigation, even after the extensive coverage we have gotten from LifeSite News --- a major supporter of the "Canceled Priest" movement. This clearly needs to be overcome by our media efforts in the future. But what saddened me most with regard to my experience at this gathering was the standoffish indifference to the fact of the substitution of Sister Lucia. Even by many who had heard about it, it was treated as an interesting fact, but not as something of central importance. I will mention that this was the attitude shown by a number of the most prominent of the clergy, lay speakers, and publishers. Is it the case that the scientifically proven FACT of the substitution of the Seer of Fatima and Messenger of the Immaculate Heart of Mary by another woman, who followed along with the plans of the "Lavender Mafia" perfectly from the time she first appeared to the world in 1967 to her death in 2005, is nothing but another one of those "Catholic" curiosities that have often filled our lives over the past decades? It cannot be such, and Sister Lucy Truth, myself, the men and women who do and have done so much work for us, and our supporters, will not allow this to happen. 

With this said, during the conference, I was able to make and renew many contacts that will potentially help the cause in the future. Good conversations were had with publishers of Catholic Family News, The Angelus, Fatima Crusader, with producers of LifeSite News, Loreto Press, and various newly-minted lay organizations that are committed to establishing an "underground" Church to provide traditional Masses to communities of laypeople who are realizing that, in order to find or keep the true and traditional Catholic religion, there needs to be a separation from the Novus Ordo hierarchy. Many of these people indicated knowledge of and support for the work of Sister Lucy Truth. 

My thoughts on some of the larger issues raised by this conference of "Canceled Priests," will follow in the next posting.
