It is bishops like McGrath, that I cannot bring myself to fault those individuals who seek sanctuary in SSPX. This priest should be applauded for saying what he said. When I first read it, I thought this was an ordinary diocesan priest, but I doubt that even the most orthodox diocesan priest would call his bishop a heretic (a reassignment would be coming rather quickly).

Question of Church Law. Bishop McGrath has showed himself to be a heretic by his words, are priests and laity now free to ignore him, as he is no longer a just orindary?

[Canticle_of_Deborah]

I am no expert in canon law but it is my understanding that when a prelate teaches heresy he loses jurisdiction. Of course, this presents a problem for Mahony also.

Your obligation as a Catholic is to hold what the Church holds. If the Bishop doesn't agree with the Church, then it's HIS problem.

But in all areas on which the Church and the Bishop are in agreement, you ought to agree with the Bish.

What's the problem???
