Full statement from Bishop Zurek regarding decision to suspend Fr. Pavone’s public ministry

Dear Coleus,

Even the headline is disingenuous:

“Full statement from Bishop Zurek regarding decision to suspend Fr. Pavone’s public ministry”

When what the bishop actually did was:

“I have decided to suspend Father Frank A. Pavone from public ministry outside of the Diocese of Amarillo to take effect on September 13, 2011.”

Thus, I'm not “picking at straws” (whatever that means). Rather, I'm being accurate. Fr. Pavone is not suspended. His faculties are intact. Merely, his permission to operate outside his diocese is suspended. Which is the usual status for most priests - they do not have a public ministry outside their own diocese or order.

As well, this is a falsehood:

“BTW, I'm glad you agreed that pfl tried to pull a fast one..”

That was your misinterpretation of what I actually said. Please retract your falsehood. I've already corrected you once, responding that I thought that if anyone is trying to “pull a fast one,” it is the bishop.
