Many questions still unanswered
It appears Rockford, Illinois bishop David Malloy's mafia-like tactics have worked. His latest victim, Fr. James Parker, left the premises of Holy Cross in Batavia yesterday around noon. Church Militant's William Mahoney is at the parish with more details.
As Catholics gathered last night outside Holy Cross to pray a Rosary for Fr. Parker, they received a difficult message.
Parishioner: "He [Fr. Parker] said [to] please tell everybody thank you for coming and for all the support you have given him over the last couple of days. But he's not going to be coming back this evening, and he's also not going to be back tomorrow morning."
It seems Malloy's attorney sending a veiled threat to Holy Cross employees might have been the last straw for Fr. Parker.
That veiled threat ― an insinuation staff could be fired for siding with the persecuted priest ― led parishioners to speculate, going after Holy Cross employees was, in effect, going after his spiritual children.
Many are devastated.
Parishioner: "I feel like a lifeline has been cut off right now, especially in this time, in this day and age, with the way things are going. I feel that Satan is attacking our Church."
Church Militant approached Fr. Jared Twenty, the ostensible parochial administrator, offering him the opportunity to shed light on the situation.
Father Twenty pointed to his statement on Facebook, explaining he would say nothing else.

Not familiar with the story at all, but the article shed no light whatsoever on why this Father Parker is being removed. Something about Democrat party politics and immigration money or something?
A little background from the journalist would be helpful.
Satan is attacking from within, parishioner.
And you have no tools to ever correct it, just like our Deep State, DNC, and GOPE are trying to put in place at a governmental level.
The New Testament describes processes to identify and select those who would be your elders and deacons and of the approach taken to be a minister and the given settings involved (women are not to be over men, etc.).
The Catholic church hierarchy threw that all out the window. It was the early spiritual Deep State.
This is Jim Rockford leave a message
*Beep!*
Penitenziagite!!!!
/Obscure "Name of the Rose" reference.
Fr Parker left the rectory as the Bishop threaten to fire the parish staff.
Another Catholic dictator. He is associated with Cupich et al. and I think Mccarick.
Cut off their funds.
Well, the parishioners could boycott the church and demonstrate against any new priest sent down to take over. Also, stop any financial support. Even more, I suppose, would be to establish another church that refuses to recognize the bishop.
Bishop Malloy is a good man and excellent Bishop. I am in the Rockford Diocese and have met him numerous times. Knowing Bishop Malloy i am confident he had good, moral reasons for his actions which most likely remain discrete to protect the Priest and Parishioners.
What a crock.
Many, many Catholics met Teddy McCarrick and thought he was a good man. They gave him huge amounts of money, while he was sodomizing their sons.
Many Narcissists know to charm the public, and can play the hidden tyranny game really well.
THAT is the Truth!!
Bump to the top.
