This is the bishop who not only ordained me to the Diaconate, but was instrumental in making sure I got into the program to begin with. The liberal powers to be (my former pastor) would have seen to it that I didn't get ordained because of my orthodox beliefs. Bishop McManus is a personal friend and a very humble servant.
Praise be to God, Bishop McManus is toeing the line in his new Diocese. I pray he will continue to shepherd his people as I know he can. Pray for his courage and perseverance.
Deacon Francis
PS: For anyone interested, you can visit our website to see the pages dedicated to his Episcopal Ordination.
I had three orthodox friends in their late 30's who attempted to enter the priesthood about five years ago. One was kicked out of St. John's in Brighton in less than a year. Another left the FSSP seminary because he alleged that homosexual behavior was being tolerated. I don't know what happened to the third.
I'm glad you made it in. I'm glad to have an orthodox bishop. I hope he cleans up Holy Cross next.
I knew you'd be on this thread! Wish we could get him back. Funny, it wasn't that long ago we talked about what he would do in his new position. :-D
Yes, Yes, YES!!!! Happy, happy, Happy!!!! May Our Lady and St. Michael protect these courageous bishops...can anyone sense "tsumami"???
