ST. LOUIS — Add the Archdiocese of St. Louis to the list of Roman Catholic organizations to warn its faithful about Ryan St. Anne Scott.
Officials issued a statement in mid-April about the alleged monk’s activities, citing concerns raised by the Diocese of Tucson in Arizona and the Diocese of La Crosse in Wisconsin.
In its warning, church officials noted Scott “has claimed at various times to be a priest, a bishop, a religious brother and an abbot and has variously identified himself as Ryan Patrick Scott, Randell Dean Stocks, Randell Dean, Ryan St. Ann, Brother Damien of St. Ann, Bishop Ryan Scott, Most Rev. and Lord Abbot Ryan St. Anne Scott and Ryan St. Anne Scott.”
Scott and his small band of followers lived briefly in the former Buchanan County home near Independence. Facing eviction, though, the group abandoned the property in January.
