“You know, that man isn’t Catholic. The Archbishop is not Catholic!” I was telling the whole parish this. No wonder he got so angry with me, in the end of it all!

I wouldn't trust any Priest who did what this guy did.

I live and worship in one of the most liberal diocese in the Country. Rome had to act before our Bishop could find the stones to banish a local Priest who tried to ordain women. He's got lots of women in 'pastoral leadership' roles, whatever the hell that means! He's as big a flaming liberal as you're ever going to encounter.

That being said my Priest, who has had myriad differences with the good Bishop, so much so that he was nearly thrown out on his ear because he dared to upbraid those who were manifestly guilty of Liturgical abuses.

He invited all of his congregation to do the same to any superior who they believe is concocting some Liturgical mishap.

But he would never stoop to such a level as to malign the Bishop to his Parishoners.

Levada may be a problematic appointment, but this piece isn't going to be the one to convince me of that.

But...what if its true?!? Did Jesus hesitate to call the leaders of his time to account?

You're so restrained! ;-)

I'm afraid I think this priest sounds like someone you hope won't sit next to you on the bus!

Not even scratching the surface... embarrassing nonsense...approved by the Bishops!!! Wake Up!!!

This is why DOMINUS IESUS had to be written

Those who don't know Fr. Heidt, may very well have the same opinion. However, if more priests would have let their congregations know how - yes - diabolical - some of their bishops were, the Catholic Church would not be the pitiful laughing stock it is today. She would be at her rightful place in the world setting acceptable moral and spiritual norms instead of retreating on virtually every moral stand She once was, if not loved for, at least admired for.

The sorry stake of The Church is not only the fault of the priests, bishops, cardinals, or Pope - it is the layman's fault as well.

May God bless Fr. Heidt and all priests strong enough and with enough conviction to call a bishop a "non Catholic" when they deserve it!
