Archbishop's Action Against Priest Reverberates Throughout Cyber Universe

Paul Likoudis in The Wanderer

Over the past several months, Fr. [Robert] Altier, a spiritual adviser to Catholic Parents Online, which is leading the parents' movement in opposition to "safe environment" programs in the archdiocese, has been outspoken in his criticism of such programs. He recently produced a DVD critique of the Virtus and Talking About Touching programs, along with local attorney John Trojack.
Archbishop [of St. Paul and Minneapolis Harry] Flynn, in the view of many observers, simply could not tolerate one of his priests leading national opposition to the U.S. bishops' "child safety" programs.

Elsewhere in the Twin Cities Archdiocese, another Nantucket Dream nightmare.

And then there is the ongoing defiance of Flynn and his directives at St. Joan of Arc's Parish, which continues to promote the gay agenda, as exemplified by the Sunday, January 15 "homily" given by Michael Bayly marking Martin Luther King Day. ...
In his homily, Bayly denounced Church teaching on homosexuality, Archbishop Flynn's support for the state's proposed marriage amendment, and endorsed the adoption of children by gay couples.
"I hope one day to marry the man I love," Bayly told the congregation, "and I have a dream of holding our marriage ceremony within the tidal zone of a beach, in that place 'somewhere in between' the land and the sea."

The treatment of Altier and Bayly might not be inconsistent; it might instead indicate that the "safe environment" programs and Bayly's homily serve the same ends.

Did you hear of the Dan O'Connell Society? I am wondering what they are going to do when the three (etc) do not resign. I pray that whatever is going on up there is exposed and cleaned out, but that God guards the hearts of those involved in the society so that they do not stray, and end up like a few other lay groups that went off the deep end toward heterodoxy.

God bless,and thanks for the head's up!

So lets all of us continue to gather and pray, for prayer is truly needed all around the world. Without prayer, there cannot be peace or conversion and lets encourage others to prayer groups so more come to know Jesus in a deeper way. Pray the Rosary and meditate on the mysteries each new day. Pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy for souls, for many, many are suffering due to lack of prayer.
