When a priest, on Christmas, gets up and says that Jesus was not “a god” till maybe after the Resurrection, you have a problem

I've never heard anything like that in a Catholic church, and I hope I never do. But it would justify contacting the bishop in a NY minute.

We did (or rather my bride and her mother did). The bishop didn't care.

I did get to debate him over coffee one night. Great fun. I am an old school LCMS Lutheran, and read theology and history for fun.

Started with the 7 Councils (which he thought were not binding) and gave up around Gregory the Great if I remember. The priest is convinced he is right, and more compassionate than “fundamentalists”.

My bride thought it was very funny.

She now attends a church in the Peoria diocese. The priest there isn't a bit of an odd fish, but very orthodox and caring (he likes to restore late 70’s Jaguar's).
