Do you think our friend Greeley might know something about this?
He seems to have a penchant for harbouring dirty secrets! (Not that I am implying he would withold incriminating evidence from the law enforcement agencies of course!)
To: mattcabbott
I do recall something about this murder being posted on FR before, but I don't recall the details/background.
Could you fill me in?

Maybe this is what you saw on the thread that was subsequently pulled. My post wasn't the cause for the thread being pulled. The thread was about something else which turned out to be false.
Father Kunz Murder Remains Unsolved Dane County Sheriff's Department Continues To Follow Tips POSTED: 1:13 p.m. CST March 5, 2003 DANE, Wis. -- It's been five years since the murder of a Dane priest, and the case remains unsolved. The parishioners at St. Michael's in the Village of Dane could barely comprehend the crime. Their priest was found dead inside the church with his throat cut savagely, 12 News reporter Nick Bohr said. It's very, very difficult. We've lost a great leader, and a great friend, and we're all hurting very deeply," St. Michael's principal Maureen O'Leary said in March of 1998.
rest is here

There was a thread posted a few days ago in which Fr. Kunz was mentioned; but, for some reason, it was pulled (by someone's request).
To: mattcabbott
The original poster requested that it be pulled. It was about a priest supposedly testifying to the bishops and was found on the Seattle Catholic website. After posting the article, it disappeared off the Seattle Catholic website. Nobody was sure what happened, but it appears that it was a phony story/testimony which had been planted by someone not associated with FR.

Wasn't there something a couple of years ago? Was Kunz the murdered priest associated with RCF and Stephen Brady? (The memory's the first to go -- )

I'm sorry I don't remember anything else here about it. I can't remember how I first heard about this; I think it was on the Art Bell show where Father Malachi Martin had two priest friends who were murdered and I think Fr. Kunz was one. I could be wrong about that. Memory isn't the best.

That rings a bell in my mind too.

Thanks for the LVW article link! It's the first time I've seen it. Interesting...
Fr. Kunz was indeed an advisor to Steve Brady of RCF. He was also a friend of (the late) Malachi Martin, (the late) Fr. Charles Fiore and (the late) Fr. John Hardon, S.J.
To: mattcabbott
yo.
Here's another link with lots of info on Martin, Kunz, et al
I tried to verify by clicking on the supposed Seattle Catholic source link but it loads so slowly that I ran out of patience. Even if I try to post from the Seattle Catholic site, if the article is there, it might suddenly disappear a la the priest testimony thread LOL. Since it is a private website, I can't vouch for the authenticity of the material, but it really makes me wonder if Martin was on to something, prophetic in a lot of ways especially since the s*** hit the fan since his death.
Martin will forever remain an enigma to me.

Thanks for the link. I can't make any SNAP judgements on these things. On the internet message boards you can say you are anybody and say anything.
I read what people say but take them with a proverbial grain of salt.
I still think some of it doesn't ring true about that particlar priest, but maybe someone working closer to the situation can vouch for him.
Still, some of these things are real eye-openers.

Sadly, Fr. Ryan St. Anne is indeed a schismatic. My interest is not in his theology, but rather his dealings with the late Fr. Kunz.
And despite St. Anne's priestly status, his allegations could very well be true. I guess time will tell...
To: Hermann the Cherusker
Thanks. I guess I had seen that before.
Whom to believe?
It's sad, really. I can't understand a husband moving away from his wife and child to live in the same area like unless it was to get a bigger scoop or he really didn't like marital life and that was his excuse. In the news business, maybe people come to expect more latitude.
A good priest would have taken him to task and helped save the marriage. It very likely could have been saved if anybody really cared enough. Still the reporter sounds like a guy who was driven and unsuitable for married life.
I don't like to believe Father Martin did that but he very well could have.

Sounds a little suspicious, answers to no one. There is another one like that called the Most Holy Family Monastery. They had me on their hook for awhile. Claimed to be Benedictine as well (I think).
In this country, anybody can put out a shingle and set up a one or two-man "monastery" and live off the contributions of gullible women like me.
