Before we proceed with this blog post it occurs to me that the most instructive thing of all might be simply to mention that “Father (Eric) Ramos” thought it worth bringing up several times during my visit that it isn’t tradition to wear pants under the cassock. And he sows doubt as to the soundness of Thomas à Kempis. Yeah.

This is official website of the group behind Mother of Sorrows Shrine, etc., etc., etc., whose chaotic, depraved, and utterly scandalous inner workings (powered by a just epically dysfunctional family and including grooming the youth) are discussed below, a salutary reminder of the truth of the old maxim that not all that glitters is gold: https://materdolorosashrine.com/

Շhe Legion (Ares) of Christ (to mention an older little army of White supremacist pedophiles operating out of Langley) was dead to begin with—dead in terms of the public trust that is—but, as after many a civil war, a stubborn resistance offered by more discreet copycats still stalks the lay faithful, some of these mixing up their religious song-and-dance with a “Trent-y” liturgical flair! (since apparently, as though from a witch’s curse, Catholics [but even the weird ones?!] can’t have nice things and are quasi-obligatory denied the true spiritual riches such as Divine Liturgies or Hesychasm) and while there remains little doubt that Marcial (Ares) Maciel was a spook working with goons, according to Fr/P. Eric Ramos of Mater Dolorosa (mistranslation given: Mother of Sorrows) Shrine, a “Bishop” Joseph Pfeiffer, rector over at the major “SSPX Résistance”™ 🤭 splinter seminary in Boston (Kentucky) (affiliate site here) is a ringbearing lodgebrother, which, when you look at the Gallicanist/Francophilic hegemony (and 😵‍💫 just 😵‍💫 so 😵‍💫 f*cking 😵‍💫 obligatory 😵‍💫 “Ignatian” 😵‍💫 overtones) within the (F)SSPX, all tracks, and that with a mechanical precision: specially trained uniates or “indult-erers” will have been planted by the Novus Ordo hive of that species of institutional termite (often nicknamed the Lavender Mafia) to try and bring every shade of conservative back under Pope Francis (and therefore under “The United Nations and Faiths Under Theosophy, Inc.”) through controlled-opposition groups that will hatch some combination of self-sabotage and gradual steering of their flock toward Pope Francis. (*Inhales noisily*)

Of these two tradition-sabotaging tactics, this (terminally ill?) Fr/P. Eric Ramos appears to be aiming for the former while (rather unabashedly) using his cult-leader status as a pretext for playing jungle with naïve/young men in this sort of Jabba-the-Hutt way that’s totally “not gay but also don’t be such a homophobe”, to use Father Eric’s own (mefancied) telling expressions. To put it bluntly, over my 2½ weeks’ stay at the Mater Dolorosa compound I can trace a gradual uptick in (homo)sexual innuendo coming from the top leadership there, all highly indicative of a “formation” paradigm to which corruption (and blackmail) is not merely endemic but “baked in” or treated as utterly essential. Though morbidly obese (“500 lbs”) and equally again cartoonish or cirquesque with his illiteracy (posing as an “intellectual” yet one who rather cringeworthily has no clue where to place the stress in the second person singular simple past tense in Spanish and pronounces his nephew[+?]’s name EE·frim) this Hispanic/White/? priest/prior/? has apparently memorized and rehearsed Aristotelian-Thomistic theology at a level just high enough to, with the assistance of his all-persevering ecclesial-canonical ambiguity (you can never pin him down as a secular or religious sacerd), get that sweet “youthful ward poontang” in which the vibe is that he is mainly interested in the power dimension of the sexuality in which he seems to deal within the environment in which he frequently overreaches in his assertion of control. (*Inhales noisily*)

On what was to be my last day at the Mater Dolorosa compound, early in the afternoon of Wednesday 29 January 2025, this blogger did witness one of the most played-out suspense-flick gimmicks in Hollywood history: namely the scene where the maladapted character, in one culminating instant of “clarity”, finally transforms into a volatile psychotic. (After watching Eight Crazy Nights [clearly some kind of Jewtonement to make amends for singing “The Chanukah Song” {sic: I sh*t you not that is how it is officially spelled}] I instantly regretted ever having loved Spanglish, but you get the idea.) In what felt like a cheap psychological thriller (in which I’m not proud to report that mine was the cowardly character who just ran like hell for his own survival) I was reluctantly climbing into the back seat of the priest’s mother’s sedan where Father Eric’s 22-year-old nephew Efraín “Junior” Yáñez was driving His Rotundity to administer Last Rites for, he mentioned, the second time since his ordination by some bishop-for-hire in Australia when the Reverend Father declared “all has been revealed to me”. And this coming from a guy who blamed the fact that the schedule was never kept on his sister/landlady, who mind you looks and operates much the same way he does, being somehow “demonically possessed”, based on his constant assertion that she consistently barges in during meditation time, something no one except Father Ramos ever once seems to have noticed. (A guilt complex over trying to gaslight and groom young people is considered likely.) So I immediately recognized in his expressions “a jargon salad turning to pigswill”, and I demanded that they stop the car, which I immediately exited returning to the building now tormented by visions of the eerily like-minded pair (folie à deux?!), now desperate, suddenly swerving into oncoming traffic or down some embankment and into the Colorado River. As punishment for my act of self-preservation, which I explained over supper in the hearing of the whole group (including 😱 a 😱 16-year-old 😱 named 😱 Carlo) I was that evening (yeah, after dark) forced to leave the house under threat of even more violence from allegedly more of Liza Yáñez’s (by now just about undeniably rife with criminal codependency) family. Clocking thereby two-and-a-half weeks at the Mater Dolorosa Shrine, in view of this almost indomitably horrific sequence of events I probably won’t be going back, impressive though I must admit the liturgics were. The morning after I initially arrived, that is early on Sunday 12 January 2025, Father Eric celebrated his last public Mass in person, as of the time of this blog post it’s ten days since his last YouTube upload, and two or three weeks ago his website came down (still unresponsive as of the time I hit “Publish”—excepting that this hyperlink should, at some future time, resume working).

I give Mater Dolorosa Shrine five pitchforks (🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱) for “scandalizing these little ones who believe” in Him (and autistics like me who are living proof that “maturity is optional”).

Let us pray. May all predators and their enablers richly reap the rewards of their depraved treatment of actually godly pilgrims and prophets. To the predator either visceral transformation or imminent removal from society. Per Christvm dominvm nostrvm. Amen.

Moral of the story. Anybody who can play the Legion-of-Christ–game too well is usually a sex predator.

This appears to be an old YouTube channel that was literally just renamed from “Eric Ramos” to “silibantatious” (?): https://youtube.com/@silibantatious?si=037NCPcskqO0YVf-

Important Bulletins – Read Carefully for Law Enforcement and Victims

John Modler Jr.

Most recently, October 26, 2023 John Modler fraudulently represented himself as a staff member of a church in Chicago, IL. He tried to have a meeting with an all female dance group and infiltrate the female dance troupe unsuspectingly. They knew the story did not sound right, looked Modler up and discovered there are warrants for his arrest in three states and the FBI is looking for him.

Danger and Fraud Alert!

AKA John Modler, Brother John Modler, John Modler Catholic, John Modler Philadelphia, John Modler Chicago, Louisville, KY, Rev. John Modler Miracle Life Fellowship

In November 2017, the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, Chancery Office published a fraudulent alert. An individual presenting himself as John Modler had been impersonating a Catholic brother of a religious order.  Here is the link to the Archdiocese’s fraudulent alert – Click here.

July 12, 2021, Treyton Oak Towers, Louisville, Kenyucky, a senior living facility encountered John Modler on the property for nearly 24 hours. He was hoping to accumulate days, if not weeks of free meals and housing under false pretenses. Once recognized, he was asked to leave quickly and quietly before the police arrived. He departed immediately. Since that time, he has retaliated for being found out by sending the General Manager hateful, aggressive and viscous emails.

July 14, 2021, Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, a community of vowed Catholic women religious in Indiana had been groomed by John Modler over a time of about four years. He was calling, inquiring, scheduling retreats, cancelling and calling, etc.  Recently, after a failed visit in Louisville, KY, he was planning to come to their facility in Indiana. However, the Midwest Retreat Association had sent out an alert to all centers in the region. His retreat was cancelled. His email response, “No problem. I will go to Jim Bakker’s facility. The Protestant’s are nicer and they give free beer and food.”

November 21, 2019, police in Lancaster, PA are looking for John Modler, accused of staying at Willow Valley Communities for several days under false pretenses.

Modler left the property without paying for the accommodations and services he received, police said.

According to police, an investigation revealed Modler has a history of fraud and likes to frequent religious establishments.

Modler’s last known address was in the Chicago area, police said, but he also has ties to Philadelphia, Maryland and central and south New Jersey. His primary method of travel is Amtrak train, police said.

There are warrants for John Modler’s arrest in Pennsylvania and Louisiana. Anyone who knows Modler’s whereabouts is asked to contact West Lampeter Township police at 717-464-2421.  To see the WGLA 8 NBC video report go to their website.

On April 1, 2017, a nondenominational ministry called Miracle Valley in Hereford, AZ, published an adviso regarding John Modler.  After his visit there, the leaders described him as disgruntled and mentally challenged and was the cause of undo suffering and pain to the people of the ministry.  Go to the link to the Miracle Valley, John Modler alert.

The Eastern Orthodox Church of America has also had many concerns regarding a visit from John Modler in Houston, TX. The Bishop states, “A person using the name John Modler has again surfaced and is causing trouble in the jurisdiction. This was the same person who escalated issues back in October.”  Go to their website to read the alert from Most Rev. George M. Jachimczyk.

On September 4, 2019, John Modler departed the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, Servants of the Father of Mercy that serve 80,000 + homeless in the region.  Over his previous ten-day visit, he had difficulty completing normal every-day tasks, exhibited high talkative and grandiose verbal skills and had little to no ability to take action. He spent most of the time in his bedroom. He urinated atop 4 x 4 foot area of a brand new guest room pillow-top mattress before departing. Stating at the train station before dropoff, “I cleaned my room already.”

(Lastly, the State of Illinois has a 2008 record of criminal mischief in which John Modler pleaded guilty to a $50 offense and was served probation.)

John Modler Jr.
Fraud Alert!
September 4, 2019

John Modler, during his ten-day visit, spent most of the hours on his computer and telephone. He consumed a pot of coffee per morning and paced frequently.

Fraudulently, he promised for many weeks thousands of dollars in homeless children’s aid coming from himself, his uncle, Monsignor Steffen and his brother.

Lastly, before departing, he urinated over the top and side of his queen bed mattress.  Then he asked for no one to clean his room because he “did it already”.  That comment delayed the normal urgency for housekeeping.

Two-days later on a regular cleaning schedule, it was discovered he did not clean his room, but left beer cans throughout and had viciously urinated on a brand-new bed after receiving 10 days of free meals and accommodations.

John Modler has left our ministry years of threatening voicemail messages against Christians, the Catholic Church and the LBGQT communities all of which he grooms and terrorizes. Los Angeles County Sheriff law enforcement since September 5, 2020 have considered the messages terroristic threats, opened a file and forwarded the messages and his file to the FBI for investigation as national hate crimes.

As recent as May 3, 2021 people have called from Chicago, IL reporting that John Modler continues to this very day using email, voicemail and phone calls for his dangerous, manipulative, grooming behavior against them and their communities.
