I can give you the name of a Maronite priest that doesn't believe in Angels, the filioque, the real presence as understood by transubstantiation. (He said transubstantiation is wrong now.) Or the necessity of the Resurrection of the body.

And, while you're at it, please cite dates, times and related conversations to justify your phony claim.

Nothing like dangling a phony carrot to tempt a 'bite'. By all means, provide the name, parish and eparchy of this Maronite priest. I'll "bite". And, while you're at it, please cite dates, times and related conversations to justify your phony claim.

I'll privately e-mail you with the name, parish and eparchy of this Maronite priest. And I'll give you the date, time and related conversation in which he told me, "the filioque is wrong" "Transubstantiation doesn't work anymore." "there is no Devil" "There are no Angels." When I asked, "What about the Resurrection of the Body? His reply was, "Does it matter?" Of course, I won't relate anything to you concerning the confessional aspect of the visit.

And if you'd like, I'll give you the names of the Norbertine priests that I told this too. One of them said to me, "He should have his papers pulled."

My claim is not phony. The reason I went to a Maronite was because my SSPX priests are hundreds of miles away during the week and I wanted to find a traditional priest not infected with Modernism to hear my confession. Instead I walked right into it. It just goes to show you that the Eastern rites are not immune from the fallout of Vatican II. Which is why there are traditional Easterns just as the SSPX are the traditional Latins. I plan on visiting a few other of the local Eastern Churches (Byzantine, Ukrainian) in the near future to see what the priests are like and how infected they are if at all. Maybe I'll find a dependable priest among them. Maybe not. But my SSPX priest wants me to go to any priest for confession if I find I need to during the week, rather than wait for the weekend that may never come if it's my time.
