If this story is true, Father Jenkins is a traitor to his Faith and Vocation.

This is beyond a disgrace.

We are at war and the hierarchy is out to lunch.

As I understand it, Religious Order priests as well as diocesan priests can only function as priests IF the bishop in the diocese where they are grants them permission.

So it seems that one thing that can be done with rouge colleges is (if the bishop has the guts) is to remove the bad priests and let the Religious Order know that they should not bother sending another unless he's good.

The lay people on the board could also be put under some church penalty — excommunicate them if warranted.
