More than one bishop has banned them from his diocese. I'm not sure what that means though. I believe Minneapolis and Columbus, Ohio. Of course that is off the top of my head.

You're right. However, neither Bishop Flynn (Minneapolis) nor Bishop Campbell (Columbus) is known as an outspoken champion of orthodoxy. Had Bishop Burkewitz or Francis Cardinal George banned the L of C from his respective diocese, then I may be more concerned.

The fact is, the complaints against Fr. Maciel have been trotted out every so often to besmirch the L of C. The Congregation for Priests in Rome is investigating the complaints and has yet to find that Fr. Maciel has done anything wrong.

Bishop Flynn banned the L of C from his diocese because he thought that the L of C parishes were akin to a "parallel church." Apparently Bishop Flynn seems to think that those who attend L of C parishes have an "us-versus-them" attitude.
