Tetherow, known as Father Gabriel, first appeared on the sidewalks outside the clinic in the summer of 2008, often dressed in his vestments as if prepared to celebrate Mass....
....When they Googled Tetherow's name, Planned Parenthood volunteers learned something else unexpected: Four and a half years ago, police in Monroe County charged Tetherow with 10 counts of possessing child pornography and 10 counts of criminal use of a communication facility, according to court records....
....Tetherow, 45, declined to discuss his guilty plea. He also wouldn't talk about the 2005 decision by Roman Catholic officials that he must remove himself from public ministry as a priest pending a final disciplinary ruling by the Vatican. He now serves a York congregation that the Catholic Church considers schismatic, that is, outside the Church....
The only question I have is if the Catholics here will take credit for his pro-life activities, or if they'll ignore a Protestant for his pro-life activities....
I'm very happy about Protestants who engage in pro-life activities.
This man is not a Roman Catholic priest in good standing. (We agree on that, right?) He is apparently presiding at an illicit, schismatic, "independent" chapel. He's in close to the same boat as those PNCC folks you were talking about the other day.
It doesn't sound to me like he's going about his pro-life work the right way; screaming at people doesn't usually accomplish much good.
So he's not one of ours. I rejoice in the good things he does. I reject the bad things he does. I reject any attempt to blame us for the bad things he does.
Does that answer your question?
