"This 50-year-old Yorkshire woman (who has never met me) is more than a stalker and a troll. I believe her to be very seriously unhinged.



"My photographs and videos are stolen and used to misrepresent and defame me on her Facebook page. She incites hatred against me and publishes my private address.



"I spoke last year to the police about her, but so far they have done nothing to halt her pernicious behavior. They know that she was once a close associate of the late David Farrant and colluded in his vendetta against me. Farrant was sentenced to almost five years imprisonment for satanic crimes and threatening people with witchcraft death dolls accompanied with menacing poems. He did not deny that last charge.



"I suspect it will only end when she is arrested and sectioned under the appropriate mental health act. Until that time I suppose I have to endure her daily malice and defamation.



"I blocked her many tears ago, but she uses multiple fake accounts to view my material. People who see her stalking of me bring it to my attention to provide future evidence for the police."

Illtyd Thomas


Interested parties who wish to receive documentary evidence held against Illtyd Thomas should contact Bishop Seán Manchester. In the meantime, the following facts, supported by witness testimony, are communicated to clear up any ambiguity or uncertainty that may exist:

—— When Bishop Seán Manchester and others in his church who accompanied him first made contact with Illtyd Thomas in early 1990, they did so as an existing church that Bishop Seán Manchester led.

—— At no time during Bishop Seán Manchester’s period preparing for diaconation, ordination to the priesthood and episcopal consecration was he under an Oath of Canonical Obedience to Illtyd Thomas.

—— At no time did Bishop Seán Manchester sign anything resembling an Instrument of Canonical Obedience to Illtyd Thomas. He has always maintained his independence.

—— It was always understood during Bishop Seán Manchester’s preparation for Holy Orders that he did so as an extant and independent church and, therefore, remained autocephalous before, during and after the threefold ordinations that transmitted lines of apostolic succession, which was the sole object of the exercise.

—— Three bishops took part in the episcopal consecration of Bishop Manchester in October 1991, including Bishop Michael Weston of Ealing, London, and Bishop James Henry Vermeulen of Holland.

It is uncanonical for Illtyd Thomas or anyone else to lay claim to possess power to “laicise” Bishop Seán Manchester. Illtyd Thomas claimed this after falling under the influence of a convicted felon and pseudo-occultist by the name of David Farrant in early 2007. Such allegations instantly render the claimant suspect as any action of this kind would be regarded uncanonical and without meaning by other churches. David Farrant had been waging a malicious vendetta against traditional Christians in general and Bishop Seán Manchester in particular for a great many years. Farrant had criminal convictions for malicious vandalism in a cemetery, indecency in a churchyard, tomb desecration by the use of black magic, threatening witnesses in a colleague’s sex case with voodoo “death dolls” transfixed with pins (Farrant’s colleague was later found guilty of sexually assaulting a young boy), illegal possession of a firearm, and theft from a hospital. Farrant was sentenced to a term of four years and eight months imprisonment at London’s Old Bailey in June 1974. He evinced absolutely no remorse following his release and exponentially worsened with time.

A member of the Ecclesiastical Law Society brought to our attention documentary evidence that Illtyd Thomas had a criminal conviction for theft, has blessed homosexual “unions” and has wittingly “ordained” sexually active sodomites. Illtyd Thomas also cultivated a close association with the one of the most notorious paedophiles in criminal history in the UK – Roger Gleaves – who “ordained” him sub conditione (we now possess copies of the “Instruments”) despite Illtyd Thomas always having strenuously denied this allegation against him. He is also known to have had associations with various other paedophiles, many of whom are now deceased. It had been known for a long time that Illtyd Thomas had had innumerable occult connections – including Masons, Theosophists and sundry occultists – some of whom he illicitly ordained. David Farrant, possibly Britain’s most infamous self-publicist in phoney witchcraft and pseudo-occultism, befriended Illtyd Thomas in early 2007, having been an invited guest to Illtyd Thomas’ Muswell Hill home in north London. Farrant, who lived on state benefits throughout his entire life (23 January 1946 - 19 April 2019), resided less than a mile from Illtyd Thomas in an attic bed-sitting room occupied since his parole release from prison.

Since colluding with Farrant in early 2007, Illtyd Thomas had been the subject of much discussion and concern by innumerable Old Catholic jurisdictions in the UK. It had already been decided to excommunicate Illtyd Thomas upon discovery in December 2006 that he was still alive. He had been investigated thoroughly with due consideration since documentary evidence was received in 2002.

Hence, at thirteen hundred hours, ie 1.00 pm (GMT), on the Feast of St David, the former bishop of the autocephalous Old Catholic jurisdiction known as the “Celtic Catholic Church” was duly excommunicated on the grounds of violating the sacred species and his office by ordaining and consecrating sexually active homosexuals, paedophiles, occultists and criminals; being guilty of heresy by accepting sexually active homosexual, paedophile and occultic clergy, and colluding with a malefic individual who is a pseudo-occultist, ie David Farrant, to do harm to the ministry, church and person of another autocephalous jurisdiction overseen by Bishop Seán Manchester. The excommunication was officiated and led by Bishop Manchester using the traditional formula in the Roman Rite.

Bishop Seán Manchester’s statement (published March 1st 2007) on Illtyd Thomas

“It was brought to our attention toward the end of 2006 that, much to our surprise, Illtyd Thomas still remains alive. Due to his age and infirmity, we had thought him long since deceased. Illtyd Thomas evinces no website, no internet presence, no known clergy and no known ecclesial activity beyond occasionally ordaining inappropriate candidates. In the last handful of years he has ordained and consecrated active homosexuals who were also openly Theosophist with transparent occult leanings and esoteric involvement.

“We have not maintained contact since last seeing Illtyd Thomas soon after our episcopal consecration by Bishops Vermeulen, Weston and Thomas on the Feast of St Francis of Assisi 1991. The time spent with Illtyd Thomas was less than fifteen months in which period we witnessed nothing seriously untoward save on our very last visit to Illtyd Thomas’ home in Muswell Hill, London. Homo-erotic material in the form of a calendar depicting naked males was on display which Illtyd Thomas attributed to a visitor whom he was allowing to stay at his home. We consequently never visited again and severed all contact. We had approached Illtyd Thomas in spring of 1990 as an extant Church, established some seventeen years prior, with view to the transmission of lines of Apostolic Succession. This much was achieved with our diaconation in June 1990, ordination to the priesthood in July 1990, and elevation to the episcopate in October 1991. At no time during all this were we under an Instrument or Oath of Canonical Obedience to Illtyd Thomas.

“The comments about Illtyd Thomas on pages 91-92 of the book about our ecclesial history and its roots, The Grail Church (1995), were made in good faith. Illtyd Thomas was at that time given the benefit of the doubt. Then came Simmons’ overture to a member of our Church who had been with us from the beginning as a founder-member of Ordo Sancti Graal inaugurated at Easter 1973 (as recounted at the time in public annals and The Grail Church). The disturbing opening line from the pederast John Simmons in a letter, dated April 1st, 1995, to Br Keith Maclean states: ‘My good friend Bishop Illtyd Thomas has passed me your address and suggested that I should write to you.’ Simmons then went on to say that Illtyd Thomas mentioned to him that Br Keith Maclean was working towards his ordination and Simmons was ‘urgently looking for those interested in the priesthood.’

“John Simmons, quite apart from being invalid (Illtyd Thomas informed us that no evidence existed of him ever being diaconated which allowed for the Instrument of Release and Degradation issued in 1986 to be an appropriate course of action), had been subsequently anathematised and not without good reason. Simmons was a man with a history of deception resulting in imprisonment, who associated with pederasts, and who lived with a former rent boy. He extracted large sums of money from strangers, mostly individuals visiting from America, looking to be ‘ordained’ and ‘consecrated’ by Simmons (all on the same day) in his small garage. When John Simmons died there was no provision made for a religious service (he received a secular one), and his male lover was quickly evicted by his mother from the house they had occupied. Yet nine years after being released and degraded by Illtyd Thomas, this man was allegedly given a private address in order to write and offer to one of the twelve founder members of Ordo Sancti Graal an ‘ordination.’ This we found unacceptable in the extreme and impossible to reconcile with respect for our autocephalous Catholic Church.

“Let us remind ourselves of the offences that we know about which resulted in John Simmons receiving a jail term:

“Mr Simmons was given two-year concurrent sentences for nine admitted offences of obtaining property or services by deception in January 1984, when he asked for 45 similar offences to be taken into consideration.” (Kentish Express, March 20th, 1986).

“John Simmons, 44, has started an 18 months prison term for deception. Simmons pretended to be a missionary in West Africa to obtain sacred items from convents which he then sold by mail order from his Ashford home. Knightsbridge Crown Court was told it was not the first time Simmons has been in trouble. In 1984 he was jailed for two years for obtaining property or services by deception. And in 1986 Simmons left a trail of bad debts around Ashford. He has since been declared officially bankrupt. During the two-week trial Simmons denied six counts of obtaining property by deception and attempted deception. Some of the vestments and church ornaments he stole were said to be extremely valuable.” (Kentish Express, October 4th, 1990).

“Then there are the ‘ordinations’ received by Illtyd Thomas from Roger Gleaves. Though he has strenuously denied in the past that these ordinations took place, we received in 2002 evidence in the form of copies of the ‘Instruments’ themselves which clearly show that Illtyd Thomas was diaconated and priested sub-conditione by the notorious pederast and convicted felon Roger Charles Augustine Gleaves, Bishop of Medway of the Episcopal Apostolic Church on July 23rd, 1977, at the Oratory of St Michael the Archangel, Muswell Hill, London. This association with Gleaves is impossible to explain away. We only came into possession of these documents when a lawyer and member of the Ecclesiastical Law Society, now also a bishop, included them when he communicated the following:

“Thomas on this evidence is a liar, a thief, a sodomite, and a sexual pervert who has the temerity to describe his foul behaviour on his own church notepaper. He was ordained to all his Orders up to the priesthood by Roger Gleaves, probably the most infamous paedophile in British legal history.” (Correspondence received from Bishop Barry Peachey, May 29th, 2002).

“The documents all bear Illtyd Thomas’ very recognisable handwriting and signature. One in particular, for example, is written on Illtyd Thomas’ notepaper with his familiar seal imprinted by a rubber stamp. It is dated February 11th, 1986, and written to ‘John.’ It begins:

“I have sent the letter to Bishop Dominic, also I have enclosed the photograph of Mark, it is not a good one but no doubt it will give you some idea of what he looks like. He has a fine good body and a joy to see when he is naked.” (Correspodence from Illtyd Thomas to ‘John,’ February 11th, 1986).

“It continues for the remainder of the page in the most pornographic and unrepeatable fashion imaginable, eventually signing off with a postscript about the arthritis in his fingers. We have seen enough examples of Illtyd Thomas’ handwriting, syntax and style in the past to know this correspondence to be authentic. ‘Bishop Dominic’ is clearly Dominic Pyle-Bridges who was convicted of serious sex offences, and was reported by Russell Hotten in the Friern Barnet Chronicle, May 30th, 1985, to have been ‘consecrated’ by ‘Illtyd Thomas, an archbishop in the Celtic Catholic Church’ in a service at the Muswell Hill Centre, Hillfield Park. In the previous year, Pyle-Bridges appeared in a London court under the name Stanley Bridges and was fined £80 for committing gross indecency with two male teachers in a Soho theatre. Why would Illtyd Thomas want to even consider ordaining sex perverts such as Pyle-Bridges and Simmons while receiving superfluous ordinations himself sub-conditione from one of the most vile pederasts to have ever drawn breath?

“A point that often puzzles non-Catholics is that once valid Holy Orders have been bestowed, according to normative Roman Catholic canon law, there is no power on earth that can remove them. This applies even if the priest or bishop has been criminally convicted, regardless of his state of sin, and also in the event that he is heretical or simonistic. The Donatist heresy established many centuries ago that the validity of a sacrament is in no way dependent on the character or actions of the clergyman concerned. Illtyd Thomas, therefore, would remain until his death in valid Holy Orders. His lines of Apostolic Succession derived from such as +W A Barrington Evans, +A W J Williams and +Bertil Persson, and those who inherit them such as our Church, are obviously unaffected.

“The right to excommunicate, however, is an immediate and necessary consequence of the fact that the Church is a society. Every society has the right to exclude and deprive of their rights and social advantages its unworthy or grievously culpable members, either temporarily or permanently. This right is necessary to every society in order that it may be well administered and survive. The fundamental proof, therefore, of the Church’s right to excommunicate is based on her status as a spiritual society, whose members, governed by legitimate authority, seek one and the same end through suitable means. Members who, by their obstinate disobedience, reject the means of attaining this common end deserve to be removed from such a society. Notice was, therefore, served early in 2007 by Ecclesia Vetusta Catholica (a traditional Old Catholic Church in Great Britain), that Illtyd Thomas, former Bishop of an autocephalous jurisdiction known as the ‘Celtic Catholic Church’ would be excommunicated on March 1st, 2007.”

Response to Ecclesia Vetusta Catholica from David Sattman

“When I had first heard that Bishop Illtyd Thomas had been formally excommunicated with bell, book, and candle, a most solemn and ancient rite rarely used in modern times, I thought Bishop Manchester had overreacted or perhaps even overstepped his bounds. I especially thought so in light of Bishop Thomas’ advanced old age and the likelihood that some amount of dementia has set in.

“But then upon further reflection I considered how long Bishop Thomas has been associating with the avowed enemies of Bishop Manchester and the level of vitriol these people have heaped on Bishop Manchester for all these decades. Furthermore Bishop Thomas has chosen to befriend this notorious band of cut-throats and be taken into the bosom of hell by his own free will. No one forced him to do it, it was his own decision. I believe that he understands what it was he was doing and that the consequences of association with these vile necromancers and diabolists would lead to his excommunication.

“Perhaps some people may think that Bishop Manchester was rather melodramatic using the ancient rite as he did, but the gravity of falling out of the grace of the Church of God must be pointed out in no uncertain terms and that the solemn gravity of excommunication via bell, book, and candle was necessary to drive home this point.

“I pray for the possibility that Bishop Thomas may still, even at this late stage of the game, recant his association with the sworn enemies of Bishop Manchester, repent of his sins, and perhaps still enjoy a return to Christ. It seems however, that his hard heartedness will not allow this. Too bad!

“I wish the Roman Pontiff would excommunicate a few bishops within the fold of the Latin Rite. But then there is the danger of one of these people claiming ‘martyrdom’ as a sort of ‘sacrificial lamb’ on behalf of the liberals and the onset of schism.”

Response to Bishop Seán Manchester from Brother Keith Maclean OSG

“It is difficult to say anything with regard to Illtyd Thomas — you have said it all. Simmons and Thomas seem to have been birds of a feather, along with Gleaves. The early connection with Gleaves is indicative of the worst. All I can say is that you have handled the matter perfectly. That malefic and vicious opposition which you face from such people is a seal of approval on your ministry.”

Response to Ecclesia Vetusta Catholica from an Old Catholic Bishop

“We agree that the action which Illtyd Thomas threatened would be both uncanonical and unwise. He is, however, clearly very frightened of David Farrant and his judgement is impeded by this.”

The term "Magister" should not be confused with the traditional master's degrees (especially those that predate the twentiethth century) whose English-language names (containing Master) have New Latin counterparts (containing Magister). The LHP use of the term in a different context, ie Magister Templi,  needs separating from the RHP appellation of The Magister that has been applied to myself since the 1960s. Magister Templi, or Master of the Temple (8°=3□) is an A∴A∴ adoption of the term. The A∴A∴ is an occult organisation (often held to stand for Argenteum Astrum, which is Latin for Silver Star) described in 1907 by Aleister Crowley. The degree Magister Templi also exists within the thirty-three degrees of Scottish Rite Masonry. Aleister Crowley had been such a Mason. I am not and, given the Path I have taken, I would not be permitted to hold any degrees in Masonry or any other Left-hand Path organisation; moreover, neither would I want to. Crowley was a  Magus (9°=2□), and became an Ipsissimus (10°=1□), ie beyond the comprehension of the lower degrees. An Ipsissimus is free from limitations and necessity and is, essentially, the highest mode of attainment within Thelema.

My acceptance of the term is as the word implies when correctly defined, ie a Teacher or a Master. At school the teachers were always referred to as masters; at least, they were at my school. Masonry, and especially Thelema, is totally incompatible with the Way of the Disciple, seeking the Light Divine.

I was not always formally in persona Christi or alter Christus. That occurred when I entered the sacred priesthood and was later episcopally consecrated. I did not choose so to become, but was chosen; indeed called. I was always, therefore, a Magister, even before I accepted use of the term spiritually.

I gradually understood my journey was more mystical than "habitual," more spiritual than "religious," and that "churchianity" held less appeal than the Christianity expressed from deep within my being.

Hence the spiritual aspect of my creative art, writing, music, thoughts and lifestyle is pre-eminent.

Anthony Hogg reveals he is not a Christian



"As to the title itself, anyone can be ordained. You can even do it online, without any theological training. I don't take Manchester's title seriously because he doesn't. Also, it's pretty hard to take Manchester's bishopric seriously when he resorts to faking his church's history. So, I prefer to address him by the civilian title he should be using, out of respect to genuine bishops. Not only did Manchester serve as the President of the British Occult Society, but he has certainly practiced occultic [sic] rituals up to and including magical duels. Indeed, one bishop excommunicated him for failing to disclose his history with the occult."
— Anthony Hogg (27 July 2019)
To compare an online "ordination" which is not valid or recognised by any bona fide church to a canonically valid ordination (three in my own case, ie diaconate, priesthood and episcopate) conducted in a church building before a congregation and by authentic clergy is not worth dignifying with any comment.
I take my sacred office extremely seriously. What Hogg fails to take seriously is the repeated protestation made by him that he is a Christian.
Why on earth would I "fake" my church's history?
Hogg is perhaps too ignorant to understand that many legitimate churches share apostolic successions and thereby histories, as do their priests and bishops.
I was President of the British Occult Society (often described as an "occult investigation bureau," eg in Dr J Gordon Melton's encylopedic The Vampire Book) from 1967 to 1988 when I had it formally dissolved. Its purpose was to investigate, not practice, all things considered occult, eg hidden, unexplained, supernatural.
Regarding "magical duels," the Sunday Mirror, 8 April 1973, reported alongside a photograph of a self-proclaimed witch and a nude girl: “The bizarre ceremony will involve naked witches, demon-raisings and the slaughter of a cat.” I was quoted, saying: “My opponent intends to raise a demon to destroy me by killing a cat - I will be relying solely on divine power.” My opponent insisted: “Blood must be spilled, but the cat will be anaesthetised.” The Sun newspaper, 23 November 1972, had earlier quoted me stating that the other person’s boasts ought to be put to the test: “The quickest way to destroy the credibility of a witch trying to earn a reputation for himself is to challenge his magical ability before objective observers.”
Anthony Hogg stands the truth on its head by claiming that a "bishop excommunicated" me "for failing to disclose" my alleged "history with the occult." In fact, I have at no time in my life been excommunicated. The bishop Hogg is referring to is now dead. I would, therefore, prefer not to name him, though Hogg, I am sure, would have no such qualm, and, if he does identify this man, there is no point in my not doing so. That notwithstanding, I was contacted by the Ecclesiastical Law Society in 2002 with compelling evidence that the bishop in question was steeped in occultism, masonry, sexual perversion and was himself a paedophile. Steps were taken to have the bishop, whom Hogg happily evokes as ammunition against me, excommunicated. It had to be determined whether he was still alive, and all the evidence had to be carefully sifted through and tested. There was an enormous amount, and it took a lot of time. The bishop was obviously known to me, which is why I had been contacted, but I had not seen him for a number of years, as we served in different autocephalous jurisdictions. I knew nothing about this man's deviant behaviour, or his involvement with occult practitioners, until it was brought to my attention in 2002.
A solemn excommunication and anathematisation was carried out on St David's Day 2007, as a consequence of this man's sexual degeneracy, association and collusion with notorious pederasts and occultists, acceptance of sodomy and his own homosexual practices (something he had always strenuously denied to me and others belonging to my Order and ecclesial jurisdiction, but apparently admitted to a witch living locally with whom he consorted and conspired), and attempts to cause injury to me, my ministry and Church. The excommunication was made known to other denominations, including the Roman Catholic Church at Westminster. It was met with absolute support and approval without exception.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
"It's true that I identify as a non-denominational Christian after previously identifying as a Baptist. But that's not a contradiction so much as a change of views (which occurred several years ago, no less)."
— Anthony Hogg (25 July 2019)
_________________________________________________________________________________________
"I haven't been baptised."
— Anthony Hogg (28 July 2019)
In view of the fact that Anthony Hogg, a previously self-proclaimed Christian, has sought to cause injury to me, my ministry and Church, consorting with deviants and occultists in the process in the pursuit of that wicked ambition for at least thirteen years, steps were being taken to have him excommunicated. Notice was duly served. This led to Hogg publicly admitting that he has not been baptised.
The right to excommunicate anyone who is baptised, irrespective of their denomination, is an immediate and necessary consequence of the fact that the Church is a society. Every society has the right to exclude and deprive of their rights and social advantages its unworthy or grievously culpable members, either temporarily or permanently. This right is necessary to every society in order that it may be well administered and survive. The fundamental proof, therefore, of the Church's right to excommunicate is based on her status as a spiritual society, whose members, governed by legitimate authority, seek one and the same end through suitable means. Members who, by their obstinate disobedience, reject the means of attaining this common end deserve to be removed. Catholic Encyclopedia (under the heading Excommunication)


Not being a bona fide Christian, ie baptised, Anthony Hogg cannot be formally excommunicated by ritual means, ie Rituale Romanum, but he can and shall be excommunicated by being prorsus neglecta.

Addendum

Anthony Hogg's less than eloquent, predictable, and decidedly unChristian, response:


Anthony Hogg says he has been blocked by me. He also accuses me of having what he calls "sock puppet" accounts. Simple logic dictates that if Hogg has been blocked he would surely be unable to view my posts and comments. Yet he not only sees them, but quotes from them at length, publishes links to them and frequently makes screenshots of them. Once again, Hogg is playing the hypocrite because the only way he would be able to view something that is blocked would be through "sock puppet," ie hidden, accounts.

Trolls seek self-validation by trying to become the "best troll" on the internet, which is why they are sometimes referred to as a "supertroll." Remove what they do on the internet and they revert back to seeing themselves as the non-entities they are. The more sustained the trolling the more their delusional "self-worth" inflates. When they are not trolling they become deflated. Hogg is indubitably a supertroll.



He campaigns on behalf of a Satanist (Drew Sinton) who runs a bookshop close to where Hogg lives ...


... by petitioning to keep the satanic provision shop and the former Church of Satan official in business.



Drew Sinton, landlord of the bookshop Hogg wants kept open.
