Watch the tape. He is a breath of fresh air in a church that prefers stale air. He says God can speak to an individuals conscience and that individual should respond to Gods call. WHOA!! That’s not drinking the Roman KoolAid. Individuals can’t think. The Bible had married minsters but we must ignore that. Common sense may say that a person must restrain from having too many children per income/resources/etc. . . but common sense may not over rule Rome. Stuff like that. He wants to grow the church but he has been deemed outlaw. Fortunately for him they can’t burn him at the stake anymore just take away his paycheck/pension.
“The Bible had married minsters but we must ignore that.”
I understand your meaning however the Bible also spoke of idol worship. You do not advocate that, do you? Sometimes we type in such a manner that our words can be misconstrued.
Maybe you could extend an invitation for him to join your denomination then.
You’re welcome to him (unless, of course, he has genuinely repented of his heresy)
After reading your comment, I sincerely wonder if you are in touch with reality.

Heresy and sin are not “fresh air”. 2 Tim 4:3

The Church HAS ALWAYS taught that we must follow our conscience. The Church has always taught we must also have a properly formed conscience so we’re not just kidding ourselves. Apparently you knew none of that. http://ccc.scborromeo.org.master.com/texis/master/search/?sufs=0&q=conscience&s=SS

We do? One of my priests was married. So what? I also occassionaly work with a married priest who lives near me. So what?

Your apparent lack of knowledge is amazing: “2368 A particular aspect of this responsibility concerns the regulation of procreation. For just reasons, spouses may wish to space the births of their children. It is their duty to make certain that their desire is not motivated by selfishness but is in conformity with the generosity appropriate to responsible parenthood. Moreover, they should conform their behavior to the objective criteria of morality:”

He’ll just lose his soul for teaching heresy instead. A touch of fame in the delusional minds of anti-Catholics at FR and other idiots seems like a poor price for eternity in hell.
The man had a job. One of the job requirements was that he not teach something to be true that the Church teaches is not true. How long would an Apple salesman keep his job if he recommends that everyone buy a PC? If he wanted to protest Church teachings than he had a responsibility to become a Protestant. If you had a preacher in your church who told his flock that Jesus was a demon under the command of Satan would he keep his job?
