I found out last night that Bishop Robert Lynch will transfer the priest who allowed Terri's funeral Mass to be held in his church to another church. Fr. William Swengross of Most Holy Name of Jesus is being punished by Lynch because he showed support for Terri's family.
The day after Terri's funeral Mass, Fr. Swengross was told that he will be transferred to another church many miles away from the heart of the diocese. The normal time period for a pastor to remain in a parish is 6 years. Fr. Swengross has been at his current parish for 3 years.
Bishop Lynch warned all the priests and employees of his diocese that if they show any support for Terri and her family, they will be held accountable.
Lynch is known for his vindictiveness against priests who he feels are a threat to him.
Bishop Lynch also wrote a letter of complaint to the bishop in charge of Brothers Paul and Hillary of the Franciascan Brothers of Peace (St. Paul, MN) complaining that he wanted the Franciscan Brothers out of his diocese.

Father Pavone is a remarkable human being. I'm glad he's so strong. Lynch is jealous of Pavone imo.

Bishop Lynch sounds like an evil and vindictive man.
The American Catholic Bishops need to do something about this Bishop.
Too bad the Vatican can't announce that Lynch no longer speaks for them.
UNBELIEVABLE

I wonder if contacting those over him would help.
