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!

You've totally missed my point, but that's no big deal. This priest had no right to incite his parishoners against their Bishop, only a person without very much humility would do that. Only a Priest without a sense of honor would carry on in such a fashion.
This priest seemed proud of denouncing his Bishop, like it was some sort of accomplishment. I wouldn't trust this priest any farther than I could throw him.
And I'll tell you something else, if this kind of stunt was pulled by any SSPX Priest against Bishop Fellay or someone they were fond of, his laity would eat him alive.
