We all shouldn’t waste our time with Devil Jenkins! He certainly qualifies for NO title as honorable as father!
WE should be writing and contacting THE HOLY FATHER at The VATICAN about this Travesty of HUMANITY being Foisted on The Catholic Church by an Agent of SATAN, himself!

More than that, they got in his face and challenged his authority and his judgment on what he views as his turf. It’s like Cape buffalo facing off.

Jenkins is claiming, apparently falsely, that he can’t un-complain. Looks like a hand washing move to me.

He’s so “enlightened” that he doesn’t even have time for other Roman Catholics. Feh! Surely if Obama can be merciful to those Black Panthers, Jenkins can do the same to people in his own church.

“Fr. Jenkins’ attitude is unfathomably vindictive”

It’s perfectly fathomable! He’s a leftist!

I loathe Notre Dame and the liberal American Catholic Church is almost as bad. The Pope needs to smack down these abortionists. Does The Church own the university or the land it sits on?

Good point, it looks like the only role left to fill is that of the actual executioner.

IIRC no injuries and no property damage. Jail time is disproportionate to the offense.

My understanding is that the Church DOES NOT own the property.

To be sure, we did see this coming several decades ago. The Land of Lakes proclamation, by which Catholic colleges told their namesake church that its norms really didn’t matter any more to what the college did.

From discussion some time back, I believe I understood that the bishop serving Notre Dame’s local area could tell Notre Dame that the right to call themselves “Roman Catholic” is rescinded. This is the nuclear option but it may be the only thing left.

If Jenkins (I refuse to call him Fr.) will not ask for leniency, they the Holy Father should go over his head so to speak and write a letter to the judge requesting leniency.

It has been done before, JPII asked a governor to grant leniency on a criminal who was sentenced to a capital crime. It was granted.

I’d think that Pope Benedict would be rather incensed about this situation.

I'll call and leave a message for Jenkins to read John 15:20.

Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.

They will treat you this way because of My name, for they do not know the One who sent Me.

Hey if anyone is watching World Over tonight they could call in and ask about Jenkins.Also ask if the Holy Father might consider asking for leniency for the 88.

Jenkins is not only a poor excuse for a priest...he is evil.

His just rewards await him in due time.
