CMTV: The Gonzalez Story Something Doesn't Add Up!

So the CMTV has gone back to the Michael Gonzalez wishing well.  Still hoping for something to stick.

The Gonzalez story is a sad one, but it is important to know the difference between what we know and what we believe.

After reading Sarah's story, I know what she claims, I do disbelieve them ... I don't find them credible.

Why?

Because there are a number of contradictions and incredulous statements made and when compared with other statements more contradictions start to emerge.

It is very hard to keep a story consistent when it isn't based on directly observed events.  It is even harder to keep it together when it is simply stories (perhaps lies) related over the decades.

It becomes practically impossible to maintain consistency when a number of people start trying to protect their perspective of reality, a perspective that may warped.

I did some fact checking of this latest story I now know that a Mario Gonzalez age 70 has an outstanding warrant , issued in 2014, for his arrest in Pottawatomie County.  This warrant is consistent with the allegations recently made by one of his daughters to CMTV.

Assuming that there aren't more than one Mario Gonzalez associated with Traditional Catholicism in the St. Mary's area, I believe that in 2013 he was associated with FSSP, and sang Christmas carols at a fund raiser.  Maybe CMTV will accuse them of sheltering perverts next.

The story has been told multiple times by multiple people and the threads are now intersecting and enabling me to put some things together, ask some pertinent questions and make an inference.

1. Kurt Chione claimed that in spring of 1990 Michael Gonzalez said "he hurt me"but wouldn't say who.  Later he claimed it was Fr. Angles.

2. His family members claimed that they saw a change in Michael near the end of his 8th grade year (May 1989) and that he dropped out in grade 9 (1990). 

3. Fr. Angles arrived in St. Mary's in July 1989.

4.  Michael, according to the drivers license, was born on July 23, 1974 and Sarah was the 4th oldest sibling.  Meaning that in fall 1989 Michael was 15 years old and Sarah would be around 10.

5. Now we have Sarah's claim that:
We were born into this, a multi-generational plague of incestuous and psychopathic behaviors.
6. We also have her claim that:
Michael was just part of that bargain. Father Angles was offered impunity by my father to steal our beloved Michael's virtue.
Something doesn't add up.

Exactly when and where did the alleged assault take place?

Did Mr. Chione really go to the police?

Are there other possible explanations for these events?

These are questions that CMTV should have asked, especially as they were doing an 'investigation'.

Key items that  popped out of the various Gonzalez narrative are:

a. Michael's behaviour changed before Fr. Angles arrived.
b. A suicide note is mentioned by Mr.Chione and letters by the family but these appear to have been destroyed in a house fire.
Goodman said Michael had written “a lot of letters about what had happened” and that “he named Angles several times.” But the family’s house in St. Marys burned down a few years after Michael’s death, she said, and everything in it was destroyed.(KCS)
c. The Gonzalez family was obviously troubled as noted in #5.
d. It is highly unlikely that Sarah has first-hand knowledge of the allegation made in #6 and this allegation seems inconsistent #2.

My conclusions are:

1. It is possible something happened to Michael before Fr. Angles arrived.
2. Given the allegations laid against his father this may be the real cause behind his change of  behaviour.
3. The allegations against Fr. Angles are simply a part of a stories web in which that family was caught up.

News Roundup: July 11, 2025

 + JMJ This has been an interesting month for news ... First we had the leaking of the 2021 report on what I would call the "Survey of Tradition".  Not surprisingly, the report was generally positive and Pope Francis ... for whatever reason ... still proceeded with Traditionis Custodes.  Andrea Grillo is not pleased with this turn of affairs. I suspect that the 'leaking' of the report is a symptom of a course correction.  Time will tell as this pontificate unfolds.  I am still curious to hear if the SSPX Superiour General will be invited to Rome this summer while the Pope reclaims the Castel Gandolfo.   That is my critical success indicator for whether or not Catholics can really consider the pontificate of Pope Francis (RIP) are truly an aberration of the past. Then we have the firing of John-Henry Westen from Life Site News.  I have no idea what happened to cause the board coup - - - as close a the vote was - he is now out of LFN.  There is...

Rome,the SSPX and this time of Crisis - Updated

+ JMJ Obviously there's lots of events right now. First we have the April 1st - I almost thought it was April Fools - meeting between Pope Francis and Bishop Fellay.  Nothing really news worthy as this is a natural progression as Rome appears to be considering fulfilling Archbishop Lefebvre's wish to 'accept us as we are'. Second we have the April 8th publication of what will be a verbose exhortation of the Synod of the Family. I'm willing to bet that the Pope will give with one hand (unilateral regularization of SSPX) and take with the other (ambiguous document that opens the flood gates of sin further). Much to pray for.

News Roundup: May 13, 2026

 + JMJ Introduction I have set this article to post on May 13th, the anniversary of the first of six apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary at Fatima. Fatima while a historical fact, still seems to point to the future.  Has the consecration been done according to her wishes?  Will another Pope do it again in the face of a world going mad and slipping into the same conditions that fostered two great wars? I don't know.  But I pray that the message of Fatima to repent and do penance is heard in the hearts of Catholics every where.  We carry the light to the world and need to illuminate the 'The Way'. The Catholic Church Obviously, the death of Pope Francis I and the election of Pope Leo XIV is a major development in the Catholic Church and the World. Just what the immediate outcomes of these two events will take some time.  I strongly suspect that there will be no calls of Santo Subito for Pope Francis.  If there is and if they do canonize Pope Francis ....

A Reply to Martin Blackshaw’s FLAWED Remnant article titled: FLAWED: SSPX Advice on Abortion-tainted Vaccines

 + JMJ    An article has appeared in the Remnant (link to article) and I am afraid that there are a number of flaws in it that need to be addressed. The author, Martin Blackshaw, believes that both the Church and the SSPX are misapplying the principle of Moral Theology called 'Cooperation In Evil'.  Unfortunately, Mr. Blackshaw rests most of his arguments on citing authors that support his position, without considering the possibility that they are wrong. This highlights a key factor in this crisis: ignorance of the faith and its application . I don't am not singling out Mr. Blackshaw for this criticism, I have observed that it applies to laity and religious, superior and subject a like.  No one seems immune in this enduring crisis, myself included.  I further believe that this ignorance is why so many Catholics, both traditional and non, rely on their gut feeling or "Catholic conscience" for charting their way through this crisis of the faith.  While...
