“If Wittmann-Todd has difficulty accepting the Church’s teaching, which is divinely revealed, and her authority, how can she faithfully serve a Catholic community?”
Simple. She cannot. It is indeed time for her to leave the position, and for orthodox Faith Formation. No more scandalizing.
She can't. She has an agenda and it's not from God.
I believe that anyone who hypenates her last name definately has a problem.
She should be denied Holy Eucharist for her disobedience to the Archbishop and her refusal to accept Catholic moral teaching.
She states: “I hope to have a gathering soon where we can learn more about how to form one’s conscience in general and particularly on the question of marriage. “
Who does she think she is? a pastor at a Presbyterian church?
About 16% of active Roman Catholic Priests in the USA are born in another country. Praise God for sending missionaries to help God transform, all of us goats, into faithful sheep.
It may be good to point out the errors of faith made by other Catholics when they >publicly cause >scandal to the Church.
>Scandal: Any action or its omission, not necessarily sinful in itself, that is likely to induce another to do something morally wrong. >Direct scandal, also called >diabolical, has the deliberate intention to induce another to sin. In indirect scandal a person does something that he or she foresees will at least likely lead another to commit sin, but this rather tolerated than positively desired. (From a Catholic dictionary.)
Good Catholic article. The article points out the obligation to the Archbishop of the Diocese. The laity has a >right to a “Catholic Church.”
All of us are obligated to pray for our Priests, especially for the Bishops. The Mitre (Big-Hat) means the Bishops carry a heavier cross for the sake of Jesus Christ.
