Dr. William G. von Peters (see other tweets on him) is also a member of the Shickshinny Knights. Anyone know who ordained him in 1976? realdouayrheims.com/pdf/Interview.…
The Shickshinny Knights were incorporated in 1956 by three women: Mary M Lafferty, Jean P Joel, and Ruth Biddle web.archive.org/web/2011052321…
The ladies appear to be proxies for Charles Pichel and his associates whose name do not show up on the documents until 1960 when the registration was amended.

More on OSJ (aka Shickshinny Knights)
Old Catholics played very prominent roles in the OSJ (aka Shickshinny Knights)
Interestingly, the Old Catholic bishop Charles Brearley was involved. Many of Brearley's bishops would work with Ngô Đình Thục with some being conditionally consecrated.
Fr. Gommar De Pauw was involved and wrote a letter to Paul VI about it. He said in an OSJ newsletter, “The time is overdue when Traditionalist Roman Catholics and conservative Protestants join hands and forces to save whatever is left of Christianity.” #Yikes!
Shickshinny Knight, William von Peters shows up defending the group in a book he wrote.
Lastly, another Old Catholic mention.
