Bob Kloos is also a former priest and, unfortunately, those men are almost always heterodox. My son had the misfortune of attending a Confirmation retreat several years ago, which Mr. Kloos conducted. There was nothing traditional or even Catholic about this retreat. Mr. Kloos and his female sidekick gave the eighth graders feathers which they pranced around with. Needless to say, there weren’t any traditional prayers or devotions at this event.
Yes—while studying this yesterday I found out about former priest Bob Kloos and his Beacon Street ministry company that does stuff with puppets and mimes and what-not. He’s a big Democrat supporter. He’s performed at at least one Call to Action conference and he’s on the FutureChurch website. More recently he has become involved with the whole “Endangered Catholics” group. I’ve been commenting about this on my blog and elsewhere and these people are most *definitely* agitators as you pointed out. They put a note on my car telling me not to contribute to my parish anymore to protest the closings. Their new strategy seems to be an attempt to advertise themselves as “traditional Catholics”, a term which has been appearing in news stories about this incident. It is possibly a clever ploy to rope in the wacko contingent who usually get riled up whenever churches need to be closed and really not less accurate than when sedevacantists use the term.
In my opinion, Mr. Kloos is not the best type of person to be involved in the official ministry in the Catholic church. If he wanted to continue to be a part of church ministry then why did he ditch the Holy Priesthood? He’s a sad case of someone wanting to have the cake and eat it. These people are very confused and they are spreading their confusion around to others instead of learning obedience.
