Bishop Fiorenza had the diocesan vicar general call Fr. Zigrang's father and tell him that his son was mentally unbalanced.

It was standard Soviet practice to label dissent from the regime as a symptom of mental illness.

This practice has made its way into many dioceses and orders as a way to marginalize anyone who doesn't go along every liberal fad and trend.

Imagine if your boss called your parents and carried out a character assassination on you because you had a dispute with him.

Bishop Fiorenza had the diocesan vicar general call Fr. Zigrang's father and tell him that his son was mentally unbalanced.

OK, this statement is a good example of the virus plaguing those who see evil in every ecclesiastical occurrence.

First, it is factually wrong. Here is what the article said on the matter. Finally, Fr. Zigrang's elderly father was contacted this week by Chancellor Monsignor Frank Rossi, who expressed to him concerns about Fr. Zigrang's psychological well-being.

There is no mention of Bishop Fiorenza telling the vicar general to make the call, yet your version wants to blame the evil bishop for instigating this action. What action? Expressing concerns about the priest's psychological well-being. A phrase that becomes for you:" tell him that his son is mentally unbalanced."

These are blatant misrepresentations of what was written in an obviously biased article from an obviously biased website. Then you go on to represent, what are falsehoods to begin with, as tactics from the KGB.

Instead of seeing these references to Fr. Zigrang's mental health as sincere concerns, as a Christian response to what might be a real affliction, you see a conspiratorial strategy, aimed at preventing the promulgation of what you have been led to believe is the True Faith. I submit, that these distortions in fact, these misrepresentations, these exaggerations, these flights into fantasy and myth, are leading you away from the True Faith.
