San Rafael, Argentina, Dec 22, 2020 / 02:47 pm MT (CNA).- A priest of the Diocese of San Rafael has been suspended after he physically attacked Bishop Eduardo María Taussig during an argument over the closing of the local seminary.
Fr. Camilo Dib, a priest from Malargue, more than 110 miles southwest of San Rafael, was called to the chancery to explain “his role in the events happened in Malargue November 21st,” according to a Dec. 22 statement from the diocese.
On that date, Bishop Taussig made a pastoral visit to the town to explain the controversial closing of the seminary in July 2020, which has sparked a string of protests from local Catholics.
A group of protesters, including priests and lay people, interrupted the Mass celebrated by Bishop Taussig, and one protester slashed the tires of the bishop's vehicle, forcing him to wait for another vehicle while confronting the protesters.
According to the diocese's statement, “Father Dib lost control of himself and suddenly attacked the bishop violently. As a consequence of this first attack, the chair in which the bishop was sitting was broken. Those present tried to stop the fury of the priest who, despite everything, once again tried to attack the bishop who, thanks be to God, could be covered by one of those attending the meeting, withdrawing from the office in which they were."
"When everything seemed to have calmed down," the statement continues, "Father Camilo Dib became furious again and, out of control, tried to attack once more the bishop who had retired to the diocesan dining room. Those present were able to prevent (Fr. Dib) from approaching the bishop and making things worse. At that time, the parish priest of Nuestra Señora del Carmen of Malargue, Fr. Alejandro Casado, intervened and accompanied the attacker......

i laughed at this story..i guess I am going to hell
it’s like a brawl at a Dollar Tree or Waffle House
Do you enjoy comparing all Christian houses of worship to Dollar Trees and Waffle Houses or only Catholic ones?
If I misunderstood please pardon me, especially since it is Christmas Eve.
so do you enjoy advocating that this kind of brawl like seen at a Dollar Tree or Waffle House is a Christian way to behave?
Are you evading my question?
nope. Why are you advocating that it’s okay to conduct yourself in a way that is similar to Dollar Tree and Waffle House
If someone is going to act like a Dollar Tree brawl then they should get called on it.
Your so called House of Worship doesn’t get a pass from being mocked for ludicrous behavior.
and btw, explain to me why those involved shouldnt be carted off to jail just like those that assault others at Dollar Tree and Waffle House
I didn’t.
...so called House of Worship...
I see.
Sincere best Christmas wishes to you and yours.
Still better than a rumble at Chuck-e-cheese”.😄
Have you considered a hot toddy to calm your nerves?
I don’t have a nerve problem. Still waiting on you to tell me why Dollar Tree brawl people end up in jail but the person you are defending should go free.
one of my favorites is still the lesbian/gay brawl where the fat chick throws a table and then catches a chair thrown at her with one hand while holding her purse.
that was a heck of a brawl
You’re imagining things.
here she is in all her glory. dont mess with this chick...could have been a dude in a wig. It was some kind of fashion show

In AD 325 Emperor Constantine convened the Council of Nicaea, the very first ecumenical council. More than 300 bishops came from all over the Christian world to debate the nature of the Holy Trinity. It was one of the early church’s most intense theological questions. Arius, from Egypt, was teaching that Jesus the Son was not equal to God the Father. Arius forcefully argued his position at length. The bishops listened respectfully.Good old St. Nick has presents for good children, switches and coal for bad ones and a vicious slap for non-trinitarians.As Arius vigorously continued, Nicholas became more and more agitated. Finally, he could no longer bear what he believed was essential being attacked. The outraged Nicholas got up, crossed the room, and slapped Arius across the face! The bishops were shocked. It was unbelievable that a bishop would lose control and be so hotheaded in such a solemn assembly. They brought Nicholas to Constantine. Constantine said even though it was illegal for anyone to strike another in his presence, in this case, the bishops themselves must determine the punishment.
What happened is like a Dollar Tree Brawl . You are trying to excuse it by coming at me and slamming me because it happened at what you call a House of Worship
SO WHAT.
It was a brawl. It was ridiculous. It deserves to be mocked
I asked a simple question.
No you didnt
And go back and look at what you said
you said ALL Houses of Worship...it was a ridiculous post trying to slam me for mocking a ridiculous act
Btw, it is not clear where this took place other than a meeting in an office...NOT THE CATHEDRAL. IT SAID OFFICE. It’s not like he was standing at the alter and the guy freaked..but even if that was the case..I would still mock it.
I will continue to mock what happened...and the guy deserves to go to jail AND be compared to a DOllar Tree brawl.
I hope your Christmas is peaceful and filled with joy and the love of Christ.
(And might I suggest avoiding Dollar Stores, Waffle Houses, and all other establishments of ill repute.)
Just a Christmas time re-enactment of the original St. Nick?
I, however, need a scorecard here. Who are the good guys and who are the bad guys? Any of these guys followers of the Communist Pope? Any practicers of the Priestly Vice?
