The Diocese of San Bernardino says Garduno is not affiliated with their organization in any way. NBC4 has learned that Garduno is actually a defrocked priest who calls himself a bishop, but has no church standing.
Other than the obvious issue that it is buried in the middle of the article, it really brings up concerns for me. The Church laicizes, excommunicates, anathematizes, or whatever to a pervert...and still has to deal with this kind of crap.
Geez.
Actually, while reading the article, the comment from The Diocese of San Bernardino stood out to me - I didn’t feel it was hidden. Just thankful the article included it. Weird picture of him with no shirt on.
