It does sound as if Adamec is a little unhinged. But what I really don't understand is how he can simply proclaim that, in violation of canon law, what's wrong for the rest of the Church (homosexual priests) is just fine in his diocese.

Each bishop his own Pope, I guess. It's a pity the situation has been allowed to reach this point.

My letter to Bishop Adamec:

Your excellency:

Please be advised that your actions with regard to Fr. Jim Foster and conservative clergy in your diocese are being studied and reviewed via the internet by countless numbers of Catholics throughout the United States and the English speaking world.

Rather than being a time for a bishop to target one's critics for punishment, this is a time in which the wise bishop should be removing from active ministry those priests, deacons, and religious who are engaged in the active homosexual deathstyle.

I encourage you to take a hold of this situation by refraining from reprisals against your critics, immediately terminating the employment of Sister Mary Parks who runs your diocese, and by removing the Rev. Joseph Hlubik, a known pro-homosexualist activist.

You have it in your hands to continue to divide your diocese so that the Vatican must intervene, or you can change the direction of your reign, bring your diocese into conformity with the Holy Father and the Magisterium, and heal the wounds caused by the fundamentally anti-Catholic pro-homosexualist agenda that has caused your diocese to deform down to the nadir of its existence.

You can change it all and become a great hero by revitalizing your diocese with the authentic Catholic faith (as expressed in the Catechism of the Catholic Church), or you can continue on the present course unabated and be numbered with a list of men who are not recalled for their sanctity or devotion to Holy Mother Church.

Be a great hero, Your Excellency. Renew your diocese through the faithful teachings of Pope John Paul II and the Catechism, and cast out of your diocese all those who are at odds with the Holy Father.

Sincerely,
