    Hi,
    I realize this is an old thread, but I found it from googling Fr. Marshall Robert's name.  I was prompted to do some research when my parish which is in the Jackson Diocese sent out the following statement:

    Statement on Fr. Marshall Roberts -- The Diocese of Jackson has issued the following statement yesterday:  

    Father Marshall Roberts, an incardinated priest of the Diocese of Scranton, has reportedly assumed residence in Water Valley, Mississippi in the Diocese of Jackson. Since January 2005, Father Roberts has been unlawfully absent from priestly ministry in the Diocese of Scranton and does not have permission to exercise priestly ministry outside of the Diocese of Scranton. Furthermore, Father Marshall Roberts does not possess the faculty to validly hear confessions. Any inquiries about the priestly ministry of Father Marshall Roberts are to be directed to the Vicar General of the Diocese of Jackson: Reverend Lincoln Dall Chancery Building 237 E. Amite Street, Jackson, MS 39201 - 601-960-8476.

    This brought-up many thoughts and feelings for me because our bishop, Joseph Kopacz, is also from the Scranton Diocese.  Bishop Kopacz knew that Fr. Lenin Vargas was defrauding parishoners at my home parish in Starkville, MS, and he did nothing to protect our parish.  I am so angry and unhappy with the bishop's response once some clergy went to the authorities and the investigation began.  He allowed Fr. Lenin to devastate our parish, and we have no recourse to even complain to church hierarchy about our bishop.  I would like to write to church oversight, if it exists.  Does anyone have any suggestions short of writing Pope Francis?
    US Conference of Bishops?  Although I doubt you’ll get a reply.  There’s no money in it for them, and the issue isn’t big enough to cause a public image problem.

    • Get out of the New Order! They are destroyed.  Why destroy yourself staying on.  All dioceses serve the gov't not souls.

    Does anyone know what is going on with Fr. Marshall Roberts? The SSPX is supposed to have taken over/be taking over St. Michael the Archangel Chapel in Jacksonville, where Fr. Roberts was pastor for the better part of a decade.

    Previously wearing a Dominican habit as "Fr. Dominic Mary of the Pillar, O.P." he is now calling himself Fr. Marshall Roberts, T.O.S.F. (initials for a secular Franciscan tertiary), has grown a beard and is apparently wearing some kind of Franciscan habit.

    He is currently in Boston, KY, featured in Pablo's videos.
    From a Third Order Dominican to a Third Order Franciscan, and now a Benedictine oblate of Clear Creek (despite their full acceptance of Vatican II, and concelebration of both a hybrid '65 Mass at home, and the Novus Ordo outside of the monastery!): https://x.com/friaranthony62/status/1834579075521818901

    And this, besides saying Mass last summer for the Arlington Carmelites: https://fwdioc.org/bishop-olson-statement-to-faithful-of-diocese-fort-worth-7-18-24-en.pdf

    • "Father Lenin Vargas"?

    I think I'd change my name.
