that is just horrible! i thought the new bishop would be better?? You should go and ask the senior priest what the infraction was.
I have and my senior priest told me he was not happy with him. I told him I loved our new priest, he told me I was in the minority. That was two weeks ago, maybe three. I intend to go see Fr. Brian and I plan on finding that homily from Fr. Decelles where he mentioned being criticized. Fr. Brian said almost the same thing. He would not apologize for WHAT he said, but maybe for his “tone”....supposedly “arrogant and condescending”...wow. I disagree. Many were shocked to be told that adulatory is a mortal sin.
Oh, and DH told me at his mass Sat night that he teared up and almost broke down when he made his apology. Sun morning he was much better, that was when I went. I had an EMS conference all day Sat out of town.
