"By an odd coincidence, I also know a priest who met the Cardinal that lifted Fr. Leonard Feeney's excommunication, as Fr. Feeney lay on his deathbed. Very few people know that this priest, who denied the Council of Trent's teachings about Baptism of desire, came back to the Church at the end of his life."
Father Feeney was "excommunicated" in 1972.
He died in 1978.
Jeff Ostrowski seems to think that Father Feeney was on his deathbed for 6 years. Typical NeoCatholic getting things all goofed up.
Another goof-up: Father Feeney's "excommunication" cited disobedience, not any point of heresy. It was lifted, 6 years before his death, via his recitation of the Nicene Creed, the Apostle's Creed, and the Athenasian Creed.
The first line of the Athenasian Creed is what I have been using for my tagline.
So much for Ostrowski's accuracy.

"Father Feeney was "excommunicated" in 1972."
I meant to say his "excommunication" was lifted in 1972.
Sorry; my typical trad goof-up.
In other words, when Jeff says his "excommunication" was lifted on his deathbed, he's wrong. It was done 6 years prior to Feeney's death in 1978.

Typical NeoCatholic getting things all goofed up. What do you know about this young man? And who made you the judge of his character? For one so immersed in traditional catholicism, you seem to have lost all sense of christian charity.
