I've done this a couple of times, in my position. In fact, the latest happened just two Sundays ago; it involved a teenage girl. I followed her to the back of the Church and made her consume the Host.
(Understand this young priest did not tell me what had happened, another close to him did), anyway he lost his position.
I'm sorry, but I don't believe he lost his "position" over this. Not in the least.
Well, you don't live in this diocese, or do you? I thought you were somewhere in Texas, am I wrong? But, I suspect there were other reasons considering he was up front about teaching the Catholic Faith from the pulpit. It may seem hard for those who do not live in a diocese where the "lavender mafia" is powerful to believe, but yes indeed a priest can be let go for just such a thing. My own pastor was forced out of his first assignment before he ever got there because the nun liturgist at the parish he had been assigned gave her ultimatum. Fortunately, another pastor who knew him to be a very good seminarian offered him a post.
