are legitimately ordained, one even by the late Pope John Paul II.

So the current Pope is excommunicating a priest who was personally ordained by JPII? Has the priest's theology changed since ordination?

[ArrogantBustard]

It's entirely possible for a young priest to harbour goofy theology, without giving outward signs of it. There was once an up-and-coming young priest out in California named Fr. Roger Mahony ... looked and sounded like quite the conservative. So Pope John Paul II made him the Archbishop of Los Angeles.

Roger Cardinal Mahony has turned out badly.

Pray for him. For the whole diocese, actually. Even from your point of view, I'd think that for them to return to the Catholic Faith would be an improvement.

I'll add the same request regarding these "Army of Mary" excommunicati. It may be fun to throw verbal brickbats at them, but I'd rather see them repent and return to Christianity.

Hell is horrible.

I don't wish it on anybody.

How many guesses do we get?
