The Rise and Fall of Father Ryan
Father Ryan wasn't just a one off story about somebody's mother joining a cult. Father Ryan had practiced all over the country, opening at least eight abbeys in seven different states. He also has at least two birthdays and multiple aliases. Every new detail only makes it more confusing why Father Ryan is free. Was he using this whole underground world of traditionalist Catholics just as a way to steal money? Or was it more layered than that? Did he really just want a group of devoted followers? or was it darker?"
