Archbishop Michael Sheehan of Santa Fe, whom I have known for 25 years and is, without doubt, one of the finest priests and shepherds in the American Church today, has been slimed by the RCF.
I take everything the RCF says with a grain of salt.
RCF has a genuine Catholic martyr as one of their founders. Clipping from the linked portion of the lead article:
“In the early 1990s, a group of priests, including [Father Charles] Fiore, assembled a dossier on ecclesiastical problems in the U.S. The information was carefully collected and documented with guidance on Church law given by the Rev. Alfred Kunz, a canon lawyer.
“Kunz also assisted in the founding of Roman Catholic Faithful. In 1998, Kunz was mysteriously murdered, and the police thus far have been unable to make any conclusive progress toward solving the murder. Fiore described Kunz as 'having no enemies - except those who hated the Church.'
“According to Fiore, the dossier was sent by courier to Rome. The courier was a Polish-speaking priest and a friend of Pope John Paul II's personal secretary, then-Monsignor, now Archbishop, Stanislaus Dsiewicz.
“Dsiewicz brought the file to the pope's attention. The pope briefly examined the documents, Fiore says, put them aside and then, referring to his previous attempts to lead and discipline the bishops regarding various issues, exclaimed, ‘I've told them, and they don't listen to me.’ John Paul II, in effect, admitted that the U.S. bishops did not properly lead the Catholic Church in America.”
