The priest who married my wife and I 42 years ago was fired by the Newark (NJ) archdiocese because he adhered to the vows he took at ordination. He very clearly stated that many of the "progressive" reforms were in conflict with those ordination vows.
He has continued to say the traditional Latin Mass and every Sunday there are cars there from NJ, NY, CT, PA, MA.
This priest was recognized by the POPE in a special papal citation for his dedicated service and devotion to his priestly vocation three years ago.
In our local parish, there are constant statements about being a good CHRISTIAN, but a conspicuous absence of the word CATHOLIC. All CATHOLICS are CHRISTIAN, but not all CHRISTIANS are CATHOLIC!
It sounds as though Mel Gibson believes in a similar way.

Can you tell me more about this remarkable priest? Perhaps in freepmail?
