On Wednesday, 05 May 2010, at approx. 6 pm to 6:30 pm, with an air of supremacy and entitlement, coupled with the unconscionable violation of the Constitutional Right of Privacy, two female census workers (identified as Teri and Kate) in Summerville, SC, entered onto the rectory grounds of the Convent of St. John the Baptist and Holy Family Traditional Catholic Church, walking the property without restraint or dignity or even a shred of respect for being on someone else’s property.
Having been working in the backyard with the bee hives, and later in the vineyard for most of the day, Bishop Bruno was preparing to wash after a day of laboring to care for and maintain the property. It was at this time that he observed one of the two workers literally “peeking” into the office window; and being in a state of partial undress, the bishop had no intention of answering the door and being subjected to immodest exposure, humiliation and degradation. However, concerned for their physical safety while on the premises and wondering what business they had at the rectory so near the dinner hour, he judged it prudent to continue observation - while at the same time preserving modesty – until these women left the property.
Not receiving an answer at the front door, for obvious reasons already described, one census worker took it upon herself to walk to the side and back of the house, purportedly to knock at the back door. Although no knocking occurred, this census worker then proceeded to walk through the back yard and into the vineyard, which is approx. 30 yards or so from the back door, as opposed to immediately returning to the front of the house to rejoin her work-companion.
One may be asking themselves how Bishop Bruno could know the extent of this arrogant trespassing, the answer is simply this: the census worker identified fruit trees located in the vineyard. By casual observance or walking just a few feet towards the vineyard area, the fruit trees are nearly indiscernible against the background of other trees and overgrowth. So logically, she had to enter several yards and taken the time to note the “several” fruit trees.
Outraged at such a bold affront and violation that was taking place, and having no other recourse, Bishop Bruno was forced to confront and challenge this unethical, potentially illegal behavior and activity exhibited by these so-called authorized and trained agents working on behalf of the federal government. Having detailed the activities observed, these census workers were momentarily speechless and aghast at being caught “red-handed,” which gave the opportunity for Bishop Bruno to demand their names, which ultimately ended with them providing contact information for their supervisor. In an effort to recoup some dignity after being “busted,” one census worker made a point of noting her Catholic background and called attention to the statues of St. Anthony, on the porch, and the Blessed Virgin Mary, on an interior window sill, noting that he [Bishop Bruno] “had to be a good man.”
How sad it was to witness the vulgar display of one claiming to be a Catholic, and who would judge a man as being “good” based entirely on common lawn statuary! Obviously this woman is an attendant and an adherent of the corrupt, sexually perverse, immoral and modernist Vatican II church…which is far from true Catholicism! Although clueless to the fact of who the bishop was, particularly since not in clerical dress, and attempting to smooth the situation – no doubt with the hope of curbing any repercussions – she further proved the religious “dumbing-down” and ignorance of true Catholicism, catechism instruction and rudimentary knowledge of the Saints of God, by misidentifying the statute of St. Francis as St. Anthony, who is always and clearly identifiable by the presence of having within his arms the Holy Christ Child.
Newly armed with the contact information of their supervisor, Bishop Bruno ordered their immediate departure from the property and proceeded to report these activities to Don, their supervisor. Although skeptical, Bishop Bruno is at least somewhat satisfied with having spoken with Don and receiving his assurance that this issue would be specifically addressed with Teri and Kate, as well as being addressed on both the local and regional levels, that this type of behavior is not permitted, will not be tolerated and goes against the alleged training received by all census workers.
While some may choose to view this as a “rant,” let it serve as a reminder, a lesson, and a warning to all, that we must be vigilant and protective of our rights and freedoms, demanding of responsibility and accountability and integrity from our government and its workers; after all, they are employed by us [American citizens]!
