HOLY ROSARY ABBEY - a traditional Latin Rite Roman Catholic Benedictine Abbey.

The Bizarre Tale of Rev. Ryan St. Anne Scott - by Matt Abbott

[Tax-chick]

"(People) have portrayed me as this ugly, vicious, con artist," St. Anne said.

Since there's no picture, one can't form an opinion on whether he's ugly.

Here's your pic

We link... you decide.

Lord, our God, you graciously chose Saint Dymphna as patroness of those afflicted with mental and nervous disorders. She is thus an inspiration and a symbol of charity to the thousands who ask her intercession.

Please grant, Lord, through the prayers of this pure youthful martyr, relief and consolation to all suffering such trials, and especially those for whom we pray. (Here mention those for whom you wish to pray).

We beg you, Lord, to hear the prayers of Saint Dymphna on our behalf. Grant all those for whom we pray patience in their sufferings and resignation to your divine will. Please fill them with hope, and grant them the relief and cure they so much desire.

We ask this through Christ our Lord who suffered agony in the garden. Amen

Thanks for that link. I just thought he was a delusional nutbar. Now it's looking more like ugly, vicious, delusional nutbar con-artist.

[Tax-chick]

Just my opinion, but I'd say "ugly." All the really weird people have the same Planet Zongo look in their eyes.

Here's another shot of him.

Do you suppose he purchased his ordination papers online?

And then there's this one ......

SCOTT’S MUG SHOT FROM HIS FELONY CONVICTION IN WISCONSIN

And ... pretending to be a bishop! (perhaps he picked up the threads on eBay?)

[Tax-chick]

LOL! He looks like a central-casting religious loon.

[Tax-chick]

He can get a full Bishop outfit, and I can't even find a Eureka portable canister sweeper.

Did you check eBay??? ;-)

I hope Bishop Jenky cracks down on these cranks and I don't doubt that he will. He is one of the best bishops around, IMHO. I got to meet him personally many times when I was at Notre Dame and he was still aux. bishop of South Bend-Ft Wayne. Wonderful man - orthodox, kind, intelligent, and strong. Which is probably a lot more than can be said for the "abbot" who has excommunicated Jenky.

$49.95 from some website on the left coast.

Oh c'm on this will end up being a full assault on Jenky and those meanies in Rome. Next thing you know St. Anne-Scott-whatever will add yet another -name and get a job at St. Stans when Bozek leaves.
