The headline is ridiculous. Fr. Beers' reassignment is the deceision of his Bishop, not Tom Monagahan's or anyone else at Ave Maria and has been in the works for months. He's not being kicked out, he's been appointed as the founding Rector of a new diosecan seminary.
I understand, but his comment about the mess at Ave Maria, although true, is scandalous and low class as are the actions of the rest of the infighters there.
This has been in the works for awhile, but he is not going to a new seminary.
"Rumors of a new seminary are false." Replied the Bishop when asked about the validity of the Naples News.com story. "Fr. Beers will be helping with a house that will be especially for younger guys if they haven't had any college education and need to take a course or two at Saginaw Valley State University. It will also be for those seminarians who are E.S.L. (English as a Second Language) and need time to become comfortable with the language. It will be a chance for some spiritual formation during those times."
