The founder of SOA Watch, Father Roy Bourgeois is being excommunicated from the Catholic Church.
The Maryknoll brother tells News 3 he's been notified by the Vatican that the excommunication is taking place because he recently participated in a ceremony ordaining a woman priest.
He says he's not sorry for what he did, and feels it was morally right.
I have a deep love for my church. I have been a minister for 36 years but at the same time there's what we call conscience that is very sacred, Bourgeois said.
Bourgeois says he has 30 days to recant his actions in order to remain a priest.
He says he will send a letter to the Vatican telling them he will not recant.

If you want to stop the killing "soon to be ex father" Roy Bourgeois, why don't you talk to your Hollywood friends about abortion?
30 days? This guy’s good for another 30 days?
There. Fixed it.
I see you used the “CINO hypocrite” setting on your Universal Translator.
I hope this is accurate and he IS being publicly excommunicated. It’s past time to draw the line in the sand.
(And YES, we should pray for him.)
Personally I think they should excommunicate the entire Marytroll Order and the Jesuits to boot!

Shame they've been allowed to run wild for 40 years, but God bless Pope Benedict, he's finally doing something about these rebellious priests.

Well said.
Notice he said “what I feel is right”, not “what I KNOW is right”
Looooonnnnnnggggg overdue.
With moonbat leftists, it's all about 'feelings'. Facts have nothing to do with it.
He knows he's wrong, but he's pridefully insisting that his personal feelings trump the Magisterium. I think it's because he's painted himself into a corner and can't back down now.
I had to look up SOA Watch. It’s the liberation theology (i.e. marxist) fruitcakes who want to close down the School of the Americas.
The Maryknolls have been into Liberation Theology, and the 'preferential option for the poor' for years. I guess this priest just absorbed it more than others, along with all the other liberal and feminist carp floating around, and decided HIS feelings were more important than the 2000 year old teachings of Christ and the Church.
We knew a Maryknoll priest, many years ago, who moved to Dalonegha (sp?), GA. Is that where this man is from?
Thank you for the explanation of SOA.
OK. What is the Scool of the Americas and why do they want to shut it down?
The School of the Americas is a place where Latin American troops and police were trained by the US military. It has been renamed.
The theory of folks who are into Liberation Theology and other lefists was that it was an imperialist plot to kill off all those righteous leftist revolutionaries down there and oppress the natives.
