Both the Archdiocese of Denver and the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter are reviewing the situation of a priest who told Catholics to disobey the orders of Church and civic officials regarding masks at Mass and other religious services.
In a video posted on YouTube Tuesday, Fr. Daniel Nolan told Catholics “do not obey the bishop, do not obey the governor. They cannot tell you to wear a mask. This is a lie. They are lying to all of us.”
“If your bishop tells you, don’t do it. And I encourage everybody not to wear a mask. And I am telling you: disobey your bishop, disobey your governor. That’s what I’m telling you,” Nolan added.
His remarks came at the conclusion of a catechetical session offered at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish in Littleton, Colorado, which posted the video on YouTube Tuesday, and took it down on Wednesday.
Asked about the importance of obedience, Nolan told parishioners that “we ought to obey God rather than man.

Are the FSSP schismatics and sedevacantists for disobeying their bishop?
Our church reads the bishops statement about wearing masks and getting communion. Then they totally ignore it. The church is pretty full but maybe 5% wear masks.
Sounds like a relatively Karen-free zone.
The priest will likely be removed from his parish and sent to on a “psychological retreat.”
Eventually, he might be allowed to be a chaplain of a hospital or an associate for another parish.
Just my thinking. This kind of thing can easily happen to a priest who publicly counsels rebellion against his bishop.
Church Officials Evaluating Priest Who Told Catholics to ‘Disobey’ Bishop on Mask Wearing

He should have told them to disobey the bishops on abortion, then he would have been just fine.
I was reluctance to share this brave priest’s stirring sermon, fearing that he would be punished by the current Pope for his remarks. A Catholic friend urged me to do so on the basis that an honest priest such as Fr. Altman will be protected by a power much higher than the Vatican
10 minutes of honesty & truth!
