OUR GREATEST CRIME IS SILENCEIn Gary Giuffre’s Persistence in the Siriodicy
He argues that Father Lawrence S. Brey supports him. The following excerpts from Father Brey's letter, 6/26/97, to retired Law Professor Peter Reiss call Gary's reliability into further question.
Dear Peter, ... Regarding GG and the Siri thesis: I had a recent visit with Pat Omlor in Minnetonka ... He had the opportunity to go through Gary's material.
His conclusion is basically what mine has been for a long time, though I haven't pushed it as much as I should.
In Gary's writings on the Siri thesis there seems to be a lack of evidence, proof, documentation. And there is overabundant recourse to "auxiliaiy' and "ad hominem" arguments which really can't make the case, including visions, apparitions, revelations, and DOVES. I suggested to Pat that he confront Gary with this matter. I will probably again bring it up but then it may look like collusion. If this thing is a bomb, 1 hate to be associated with it or be used in its regard. On the other hand, the Pat Omlor thing was ONE, TWO, THREE, BANG, no frills or extraneous argumentation.
The reason I suggested that Gary be in touch with Pat on his project was precisely because he could benefit from Pat's input. Particularly since Pat makes darn sure before presenting his case and arguments, that there is a watertight case. Gary should proceed the same way in something as critical as the Sid fl ling. But he seems to build a big case on what are but shreds of evidence, and a woeful lack of documentation.
Knowing you, I think you would agree on this matter, all the more so as m attorney. As you know 1 bent over backward to encourage G and his project but always with the understanding that he presents a strong case. Early on also 1 emphasized the minimal value of private revelations in such matters. And certainly the whole case cannot be built on such things.
... If anything, any help should be orientated toward unearthing hard evidence. The "old man" Archbishop may be just another illusion, and all the indications are that his interests are not in the Church at large but in his little world of college property, etc. There is also the gnawing question why he (if the "chosen one") made and makes no move to stand forth; just as it remains a gnawing question why Siri himself did or said practically nothing to confirm his election.
It is very possible that we indeed haven't had a pope since Pius XII, and maybe are destined to have none any more, that maybe time is truly unwinding and Christ may soon come to wrap things up. How the usurpers got in there may be as simple as their "election' by majorities that were no longer Catholic, in which case there would be no need for some external "irregularity" to produce the usurpers.
Sincerely in Christ
For at least nine years Father Brey has not supported Gary or his baseless hypothesis. Coincidentally, perhaps, Father Brey has not graced St. Jude's Shrine with his presence. He has probably not been invited; if you disagree with Gary on any issue whatsoever, you are his enemy forever. Gary will no doubt take him to task for reversing his stand '180 degrees," as he has accused others who also on closer examination of his "evidence" have changed their minds.
Gary contends that his "intellectual property" has been stolen, presumably to publish. He has not himself published because he has not found the "smoking gun." He has not proved his case in seventeen years (of investigation?). He thinks that no one may consult his sources because he saw them first, and no one may consult other plentiful sources because, despite availability, he never consulted them.
Caught with both hands tight up to the scapula in the till, he distracts with personal attacks on those who caught him, as though they had committed some felony. His "intellectual property" became public property when he showed his slide lecture, which he lengthened ad nauseam with time and money that he could well have devoted to investigation.
Not only has he defamed those who exposed his behaviour, he has threatened some (but not me) with legal action. Among those threatened was Kathleen Plumb, for copying my first article of The War Is Now!, #66, December 2005, in which 1 exposed Gary's "investigation," in her 16 page tabloid, The Four Marks (P.O. Box 77, Molt, MT 59057, 12 monthly issues for $29). She publishes all sides, and lets readers choose their own. I shudder to think what Gary and his legal brother will do to her for subsequently printing Ray Antoninis Letter to the Editor and Leonard Giblin's article.
Does Gary not, in continuing to promote the Siriodicy admit his connection with the Santoro hoax, suppression of Prince Chigi's official white smoke explanation from the Vatican, and the Scortesco impossibility?
Fax message from Fr. Lawrence S. Brey, 5/15/06, to Silvio Mattacchione: URGENT
1 MEANT TO FAX THIS SOONER BUT MISPLACED YOUR NUMBEIR
1 understand that a paper or letter of mine of 1990 endorsing the alleged election of CARDINAL G. SIRI as pope "Gregory XVX' on Oct. 26, 1958, was uploaded on website of David Hobson.
I would like EMPHATICALLY to make it known that said article or letter does not reflect my current understanding of the matter; and I don't think it was uploaded with my permission.
Since my views have since been modified, 1 wish to request that this inclusion and what it reflects, is not today relevant and 1 would like it expunged from said website.
1 would like this made abundantly clear to Mr D. Hobson, and would like my inclusion deleted from his website, as not representing my current thinking. Since the writing of that letter or article, I have had further insights on the matter, and feel there are grounds for misgivings regarding the Siri Pope thesis.
Since my health and other factors make it difficult for me to pursue this matter as much as 1 should, 1 leave it to you, dear Silvio, to undertake this retraction on my behalf
Sincerely in Christ,
(signed) Fr. Lawrence S. Brey
Father Brey admits that he received a visit from David Hobson, but says that Hobson spoke too fast to be understood. I can attest to Hobson's tachyphasia. It overwhelms understanding of his victim's message. He made a big deal of both Silvio's and my trying to deter his public espousal of the Siridiocy. He took our calls as threats. We intended only to save him from unnecessarily making a fool of himself.
What accounts for Gary's unequal treatment of two sets of unsupported, self contradictory testimonies from Malachi Martin and Fr. Khoat?
Malachi gave Gary inconsistent accounts of a papal election, therefore Gary tagged Malachi all kinds of liar and traitor. But Father Khoat pulled a swifty on Gary and dashed off to interview Cardinal Siri, for five minutes. He reported back to Gary and two priests, Msgr. Raymond Ruscitto and Father Alex Thevervelil. According to Gary, the interview:
"What can 1 do for you Father?' asked Siri.
In his broken French, Fr. Khoat said: "I believe that you are the true Pope."
Sid stated emphatically, "I am not the Pope."
Fr. Khoat responded immediately: "But it is now known in America that you were elected Pope but were prevented from governing the Church. I represent many people in the United States who believe you are the Pope."
"I am not the Pope. The Pope is here in Rome. 1 am not the Pope," said Siri.
"You may not be the Pope de facto (in fact), but de iure (in law), you are the Pope."
"I am not the Pope. I met your bishop during the council."
[This is as far as Father Khoat reported, on July 22, 1988]
"Yes, and after my bishop returned to Vietnam, he was killed by the Communists. And because you failed to do your duty, and did not consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, my country fell to the Communists!"
Fr. Khoat noticed that Siri's eyes had begun to well up. He pleaded: "Are you not the true Pope?'
"You already know it" said Siri.
[A strange priest, speaking broken French, in five minutes extracts this world shaking admission from a man who had never suggested such an idea to his closest friends for thirty years! "Siri's eyes had begun to well up." May 1 suggest that Siri had rolled his eyes to heaven in frustration and said in effect: "Since you know I'm pope, 1 must indeed be pope." He thereupon proceeded to say and do everything possible to satisfy this fanatic so that he would leave.]
'Then, Holiness, you must come with me at once to the airport and board a flight with me to America, where you will be able to speak openly about your pontificate."
Hurriedly, Siri instructed Fr. Khoat: "Come back here at eight o'clock tonight my secretary will be gone then."
Gary's comment: "His follow up meeting with Siri was to occur in less than 12 hours, and it would be crucial that language barriers not hamper his next conversation with the hidden Pope."
Fr. Khoat tracked down Msgr. Taramasso, who accompanied him back to Rome to see Siri. They arrived at 8 p.m. for a meeting of about one hour. Two days later, on 16 June 1988, Fr. Khoat had one final private encounter with Siri just before his dep~ to Houston. Siri said to his secretary: "If that Vietnamese priest shows up here again, send him away.
Then, says Gary, "Fr. Khoat committed one of the most inexplicable acts of his 1988 Italian odyssey. He marched into the Vatican ... met ... an assistant to John Paul 11. ... hand[ed] the priest a $1000 bribe, ... was lead (sic) to a hallway ... until Wojtyla came through ... he called out ...
'What about the consecration of Russia?' "
"Only after Siri was dead, did Fr. Khoat begin to reveal to me the rest of what had transpired during his three meetings with the Pope in exile. On 5 May 1989, Fr. Khoat finally confirmed that Siri knew he was the Pope. ... Only then did he inform me about Msgr. Taramasso, and about his going with him to see Siri." [Taramasso was also dead.]
"What did Siri tell you and Fr. Taramasso during that meeting, Father?' asked Gary.
Fr. Khoat replied, "The 'Old Man' said, 'If anything happens to me, elect a Pope at once."
"How could you and Msgr. Taramasso elect a Pope? Did he name you both cardinals in secret?'
"Yes," answered Fr. Khoat. ...
"Do you have a letter from Siri, naming you as one of his cardinals?"
"No," he said, "But God will show us the way."
It is very possible that we indeed haven't had a pope since Pius XII, and maybe are destined to have none any more, that maybe time is truly unwinding and Christ may soon come to wrap things up. This statement of Hutton Gibson is certainly heretical;, since it denies the infallbile teaching of the Vatican Council that Peter will hae perpetual successors in the Papacy.
