Edit: now give us our Order back.

(Rome) The Apostolic Commissioner Father Fidenzio Volpi OFM Cap has published a correction. In it, he explains that the family of the religious founder of the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate, Father Stefano Maria Manelli, has "absolutely nothing" to do with any possession or orders of transfer for the real estate of the Order. This had been maintained in recent months, according to which the the Order was placed under provisional commissioner, by the official Internet site of the Order www.immacolata.com. Father Alfonso Maria Bruno, who was appointed by Commissioner Volpi after the expulsion of the leadership of the Order, to name him as the most powerful man in the Order. The lawyer for the family Manelli had threatened criminal penalties, and requires clarification from Commissioner Volpi. This is now acknowledged that it was a libel, which was published by "someone" on the Internet platform.

To date, no reasons for the provisional administration of the Order have been announced, because the openly published reasons: maintenance of the traditional rite, numerous vocations, critical examination of the Second Vatican Council, the development in the Church since then, the unabridged explanation of the faith, and strict observance of the rules of the order, are clearly not offenses.

So will Pope Francis correct this travesty of justice and reinstate the order AND its founder?

[BlatherNaut]

I pray he does.

There is a strong stench of sulfur rising from this situation.

This is exactly what I was getting at. Notice the “Franciscans” claim they were doing everything right, but headquarters decommissioned them. Now, the RCs around here are squealing for their return. I thought Rome always got its story right. Hmmm. No text to guide results in multiple iterations.

Catholics Do Not Believe: That the Pope is God and can do no wrong

When he speaks ex cathedra his words are "infallible", no? Are you saying they booted this group over coffee?

[BlatherNaut]

When he speaks ex cathedra his words are "infallible"

At no point in regard to this unfortunate affair did he define a doctrine concerning faith or morals that must be held by the whole Church.

[Dutchboy88]

It is not “unfortunate” from my perspective. It is simply evidence that the Romanist organization is no more unified than any “protestant” organization. The RCs, however, claim otherwise in spite of this kind of bizarre situation.

Father Alfonso Maria Bruno, who was appointed by Commissioner Volpi after the expulsion of the leadership of the Order, to name him as the most powerful man in the Order.

At the request of the prosecutor of the Manelli family, the false claim has now been deleted from the internet site of the Order managed by Father Alfonso Bruno. Instead, the complete correspondence between the Manelli family lawyer and Commissioner Volpi has been published at the request of Manelli family.

Fr. Bruno was/is the lead liberal internal instigator of the suppression of the order. And Volpi (which means fox) has now made another fox, Bruno, head of that order.
