Condemned by Councils and St. Thomas Aquinas, doctor of the Church.

We have this thing called Holy Thursday, the washing of the feet and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

I am not Jewish and therefore would refuse to participate in Jewish religious rituals and customs.

Catholics have enough of their own to use that emphasize the sacrifice of the Cross.

Again, General Councils and St. Thomas have both authoritatively condemned such practices.

Councils and St. Thomas Aquinas have not condemned Catholics from eating dinner together after going to Holy Thursday Mass. There is no fasting requirement either after Holy Thursday mass.

As far as holding it on Parish property, the USCCB has said "This practice can have educational and spiritual value." and "The primary reason why Christians may celebrate the festival of Passover should be to acknowledge common roots in the history of salvation." (God's Mercy Endures Forever)

Please make citation's when you make your claims.

People who love Latin more than the Church are trying to make this a Charismatic vs. Traditional battle, which it is not.

Tom Monoghan is a control freak and Fr. Fessio probably exercised a little too much independence (but not much). That is why he is fired. You cannot work for Tommy and exercise independent judgment. This is why Fessio was required to kill Campion College before going to work for the man. There are no clean hands between the two of them.
