San Antonio, TX — Father Donald Kloster from Bridgeport, CT, was cancelled because he would not say Mass in English. He was stripped of his priestly faculties. Modernist Frank Caggiano is responsible.

Kloster said he got vocations from the Latin Mass and none from the other. Attendance at the Latin Mass increased from four in early 2021, when it started, to 100-150 each Sunday. A parishioner from St. Marguerite Bourgeoys Parish, Brookfield, CT, provided this information and confirmed vocations.

Father Kloster also said that 97% of children who are raised attending the Latin Mass and 5% raised in the other will retain the faith.

So...when a priest "vows" to never pray the English Mass, does that retroactively affect his former promise to his bishop to be obedient? Kloster canceled himself. He was asked to obey his bishop and he'd be allowed to pray the Latin Mass. He refused.
As for Bp. Caggiano, did Kloster bother to tell you that it was he who actually brought Kloster back from exile in Equador? His thanks was to break his ordination promise to his bishop.
He should be mortified at his own behavior.

Obedience to a virtuous leader is itself a virtue. Obedience to a bad leader is not a virtue. It is servile, and any obedience to present bishops (USCCB), all of whom are corrupt, is the worst kind.

Bishop Caggiano is a great friend to the TLM in his diocese. He permits it in parishes despite Rome's dictates. He is serious about shepherding his people, both NO and TLM Catholics, as well as Eastern Catholics. Those are the facts.
When Kloster tells people that he had his faculties removed 4-8 times (depending on who his audience is) by different bishops, perhaps he should be looking in the mirror and not at his ordinaries. Bp. C may be many things but he isn't corrupt. And without him at the helm the TLM would have gone the way of so many others under weak bishops.

Truth teller does not reveal himself. Perhaps he knows my situation with Bishop Caggiano better than I do myself. If we are being exact, I have lost my faculties or had them restricted now 6 times. I’ve never been afraid to admit the above precise number. The reason for the variation is that a few times I was restricted for a time or in a particular diocese.
St. Athanasius was exiled from his Diocese 7 times. I wouldn’t thereby assume he was a disobedient bishop!
Any stones you care to throw my way don’t hurt me; some of them may reveal my many weaknesses. I seek the truth and I seek to be a priest who talks about the inconvenient truths some priests would never discuss in public for fear of reprisals.
One thing in my favor are the 31 priestly and religious vocations I have helped foster over my 30 years. The number is 30(TLM) to 1(NOM). With such overwhelming odds, I have chosen to only say the Vetus Ordo since 2020 and have never regretted that fruitful decision.
I would be interested to know if you knew the various reasons for my faculties being removed; the first time in 1998. For example, perhaps you are unaware of what my Canon lawyer offered to the chancery on my behalf so as to avoid what happened to precipitate my current position without faculties.
It’s very much easier to be an armchair quarterback. Try to walk a mile in another man’s shoes
Godspeed, Fr. Kloster
