One of the problems the Church in the USA is facing is that so many ministries (both orthodox and heterodox) have become extradiocesan.

They have presence, but no oversight, because they have been structured to either avoid interventions by antagonistic bishops (usually the case with orthodox ministries) or to create plausible deniability for sympathetic bishops (usually the case with heterodox ministries).

I’ll wait and see on this one. It could go either of two ways.

Fr. Frank Pavone has been doing an excellent job, from what I have seen. In fact, for years he did the job that the bishops neglected to do, fight for the right to life.

This could be financial abuse. Or it could be a jealous bishop who resents Fr. Pavone’s orthodox activities.

Does anyone know anything about Bishop Zureck? Is he orthodox himself? Evidently he was appointed to his present post in January 2008:
