Dear Friends,
For more than 5 years people seem to come out of the woodwork and mention Fr. Philip Wolfe, FSSP. They all remark that countless times he had helped them through a difficult time or a spiritual crisis. Fr. Wolfe served in Texas more than 7 years. As a result he has many contacts here.
So many people remark about the solid teaching which is readily available in his many sermons and teachings on YouTube. And all at no cost. He did an incredible series on “Our Lady of Revelation” which is a 9-part series. Outstanding work!
But that series is just a drop in the bucket of what is there for any and all to see. Fr. Wolfe was a longtime friend of Sr. Wilhelmina Lancaster of Gower, MO. You will recall that her body was found to be incorrupt earlier this year.
Fr. Wolfe was a frequent preacher of retreats there and guided those Sisters with his many spiritual talks. And for years he labored in the poor areas of Kansas City.
After he left Texas so many people have the same question: “Where is Fr. Wolfe?”
It appears no one who knows will answer that question. Why? I have no idea.
It is my opinion that if lay people do not begin to speak up, Fr. Wolfe might be permanently canceled.
Could it be that he will be returned to the lay state, i.e., laicized? I just don’t know. When will people speak up in support of Fr. Wolfe?
Could it be that many lay people have become servile? Instead of being active Catholic Christians they might prefer to take the easy way out. Again, I don’t know.
I do not understand such a stance.
If lay people admire and respect Fr. Wolfe, why are they not giving an account of his heroic virtue? Where is the gratitude?
Today is the Feast of Our Lady’s Maternity. I ask Our Lord in honor of His Mother to intercede on behalf of one of the finest Priest I’ve had the honor to meet. He is truly a Marian Priest. He is truly a Priest’s Priest…a rare thing in these difficult times.
If you did indeed benefit from the hard work of Fr. Wolfe, make it known and now. Please get out the word.
I am asking this after years of waiting for something to happen. Those who can write, and comment need to do so now. All of the above is my opinion. I have not asked Fr. Wolfe for permission to do this. No permission is necessary. We have rights and obligations as a result of our having been baptized. All of the above is done on my own initiative, from A – Z.
Fr. Paul Weinberger
