Who Is the Dan O'Connell Society?

Since a commenter ot the previous post asked, I looked it up.
The Dan O'Connell society is a brotherhood of Catholic men who seek to restore the fraternity and fatherhood of the Catholic priesthood. We do our work in the memory of Dan O'Connell a Catholic layman from Hudson, Wisconsin who confronted and was then killed February 5, 2002, by Ryan Erickson a homosexual predator who had been ordained a Catholic priest in 2000.

The Society's founding document tells the story. It has chapters in St Paul and Winona, Minnesota, where Erickson attended the seminary, but not in the Diocese of Superior, Wisconsin, where he acted as a priest and committed two murders.
