Bishop Zurek has the authority and right to do what he has done.
If Father Frank Pavone wishes to stop being a Diocesan priest, FRANK PAVONE would be able to attend this event.
I am sure that Bishop Zurek is receiving thousands of letters each, many extremely hateful towards him, each month.
As a former employee of Priests for Life, I understand both Bishop Zurek's and Father Frank's position.
I side with Bishop Zurek because I saw problems with how Father Frank ran PFL.
Additionally, Bishop Zurek is part of the magisterium of the Church.
You might as well say add that Pope Benedict is wrong for not ordaining women as priest with your position.
Wow... you think bishops are infallible.
Where is that in the catechism?
Fr. Frank has taken a vow of obedience. I haven’t.
I am free to criticize the Bishop for his letter which bore false witness against Fr. Frank & Priests for Life and advocated stopping all donations.
I am free to criticize the fact that he called Fr. Frank back to Amarillo, and promptly went to South America for Vacation.
I am free to criticize how the Bishop has violated the most basic of agreements with Fr. Frank regarding how to handle discussions on the matter.
I am free to criticize how Bishop Zurek has ignored his Brother Bishops who have offered to mediate regarding the matter.
None of these actions on the part of Bishop Zurek are infallible and he has demeaned his office.
