I live in Belleville...this case is nothing less than a challenge by some 1970s left-overs to the authority of an orthodox bishop. They want the happy-clappy 70s back...and Bishop Braxton is an orthodox man...and the rebels don’t like it.

Liturgical abuse is rampant in this diocese...as is all sorts of heterodox hoo-hah. Between Sister-I-Don’t-Wear-Your-Patriarchal-Habit and Father listing the bishop’s “faults” during Holy Mass, there is a lot of work for His Excellency to do. Bishop Braxton has my full support.

Just reading this article, I had exactly that feeling. These priests are rebels and need to be told to shut up. That said, Bishop Braxton needs to start generating tons of orthodox vocations to replace them.

I was certain it was something like that! Where we have the bad bishops (won’t name names, we know) the “new Church” priests are either in cahoots with them, or the good priests are too busy trying desperately to catechize their flocks in the truth. Only where you have an orthodox and strong bishop do you get a bunch of Code Pink style priests, with the cooperation of the media, making public complaints, causing a scandal and confusing the faithful. If there were really issues of leadership or faith, they would go through the proper channels and not try to stir up dissent in the pews.
