He’ll probably join the other dissenters at one of the Old Catholic Churches.

The often forgotten third vow; obedience.

Seems he’s been stripped of his OFFICE, not his faculties. Around here, faculties refers either to academic staff, or one’s mental abilities.

The way I see it, the Priest is no longer a Priest and his followers are no longer Catholic.

They can call themselves anything they like, but if they arent recognised by the Church they arent Catholics.

As for the Property I believe all Churches belong to the Diacese and although they may inhabit that Church it wil eventually be decided in court that they will have to find a new place to worship.

Much will depend on who calls Whom’s bluff.

Found this recently - may be relevant:

Remember the incident reported in 9th chapter of Luke and also in the 9th chapter of Mark. Loosely translated as follows: John reports to Jesus “we saw a priest doing ministry in your name but we tried to stop him because he did not have faculties.” “Do not stop him“ Jesus said “for whoever is not against us is for us“ - However some institutional officials may quote what is attributed to Cardinal Cody - “What does the Gospel have to do with anything, anyway? “

How tragic that this never happened to baby-killer Judas-priest Drinan.

excerpt:
Bozek has attracted divorced and gay formerly disenfranchised Catholics to St. Stanislaus and repelled some of the longtime Polish families who hired him in 2005.

"Disenfranchised" like himself...
These people need to return to the Church, and adhere to its teachings, dogma, and doctrine.

What exactly did St Stanislas do to get on Archbishop Burke’s bad side? Why was this problem allowed to get this far?

There should also be a public reprimand of retired Springfield Bishop John Leibrecht. He was the one who started this by ordaining Bozek after he had been thrown out of two seminaries for homosexual activity.

The “Reformed Catholic Bishop” referred to in the article is, of course, a gay rights activist:

This story makes me sad. Maybe it’s the picture, he does look lonely.

I wish they’d get rid of the leftiesas fast as they do the conservatives.

Deacon Greg needs to use correct terminology. Bozek has been dismissed. The word laicized is a secular term not found in canon law.
