Front Sight, Ignatius Piazza, and Scientology?
Letter from Ignatius Piazza posted to Front Sight Alumni on 17 August 2002 by "Johnylompoc"


Jon, This doesn't make sense. This is not the Dean I know. His post seems to be the rantings and ravings of a paranoid lunatic. I will attempt to contact him to see "what" or "who" seems to be causing his problems. If I can help him I will. Last time I checked, there was no law in the US against belonging to ANY religion. Still, if anyone cares, forward the following information to set the record straight: I was born into a Catholic family. I was baptized Catholic. I was confirmed Catholic. I was married in the Catholic Church. Monsignor Adams, the pastor of our Catholic Church signed my character witness statement for the first firearms course I attended. Up until my daughter was born, my wife was a choir director at our Catholic Church and provided music for the Catholic mass at the Veterans hospital. She still provides music services for the Veteran's Hospital Catholic Mass, but no longer has the time to direct two services. My daughter was baptized Catholic and will receive her Catholic First Communion when she reaches the proper age. Any other children we might have in the future will also be baptized Catholic. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think that makes me Catholic. Furthermore, Front Sight is in no way, shape, or form connected to or affilated with ANY religion-- Catholic, Baptist, Buddhist, Scientology, Mormon, Muslim, etc. We have an instructional staff of nearly 200 and I cannot tell you what religious backgrounds they have as it makes no difference to Front Sight. We do not ask, we do not care. We have over 20,000 students and I cannot tell you what religious backgrounds they have. Again, we do not ask and we do not care. Am I familiar with numerous religious practices? Of course. Have I attended other religious services? Of course. Have I attended Scientology services? Of course. Does Front Sight use some of the business technology developed by L. Ron Hubbard, the Founder of Scientology? Yes, and so do the following companies: Allstate Bell and Howell Nissan McDonalds Getty Oil Honeywell Mattel Ralph's Rockwell RotoRooter Pacific Stereo Sunkist Winston Tires Del Taco Wherehouse Broadway Department Stores Earthlink AND OVER 120,000 OTHER COMPANIES AND DOZENS OF GOVERNMENTS AROUND THE WORLD. Hubbard Business Management is the most used system of management in the world. Does the use of Hubbard Business Managment Systems connect or affiliate these businesses and governments (or Front Sight) with Scientology? Of course not. I believe this should handle any concerns anyone might have about any "religious" or "cult" connection to Front Sight. The short answer is "NONE." Thanks for sending me the information. Naish
