Archdiocese of Detroit asks Michael Voris to stop using the name ‘Catholic’ (bishops gone wild)

Bishops that have lost Catholic faith do not exercise legitimate authority. Traditionalist Catholicism welcomes genuine conservatives.

Fatima. You just said you did a quick research of RealCatholicTV. Michael Voris is very much in communion with the Catholic Church, Authority of Rome and the Catechism. He takes on the magisterium for when they are not in communion with the same. For this he is being persecuted. If you have not watched his episodes you should. Research what HE has to say and see if there is any single word that is not authentically Catholic.

[Jeff Chandler]

You can’t fight the diocese and you can’t use the word Catholic.

I suppose it comes down to "which diocese?"

[fatima]

Again don't put words in my mouth.I never saw his programing.If you are evangelizing stick to it.Take on the church and you get a letter in the mail.

[fatima]

Sorry to hear that NTHockey ((((Hugs))))

[fatima]

:)

[fatima]

I would guess complaints came in.

[LadyDoc]

they should just use catholic with a small c.

that way, no problem.

[fatima]

Someone else said that.That’s a new one for me :)

[iowamark]

Michael Voris’ worst crime is the ridiculous wig he wears.

“Take on the church and you get a letter in the mail.”

You are saying Voris took on the Church? How so?

[marshmallow]

That hair aint real.....?? Uh-oh..........

What is it with big hair and so many televangelists?

[Jeff Chandler]

I would guess complaints came in.

I'm sure they did, but the question is one of jurisdiction. If the organization using the name "Catholic" isn't in the Detroit diocese, then they may be off the hook.

I did a quick search of Real Catholic TV and the problems are there.

Please be more specific. I've looked very closely at RealCatholicTV and I've spoken at length with Simon Rafe, who runs the technical end of things. I was also one of the moderators for their forum. I've never seen ANY problems with RealCatholicTV, so please give specific examples before you malign a faithful Catholic apostolate.

In this day and age, unfortunately, I give the benefit of the doubt to faithful Catholic laity attempting to maintain and promote orthodoxy over the typical chancery hack and/or USCCB member attempting to prolong the "spirit of VII."

And this campaign against Voris is fruit the latter, and not to be given any credence whasoever.

[Brian Kopp DPM]

The hair is real. It might not be some folks’ style, but it is real.

[marshmallow]

Thank you.

There is a difference between kissing the ring and kissing the butt. Too many dioceses are run by lay liberals who think they are ordained. Liberal priest get away with virtual apostasy because they are in holy orders. Just look at the miscreant friend of Obama who is a priest in the Chicago archdiocese.

[RobbyS]

Ad homiunem? What the bishops probably don;’t like is the tome of his telecasts. What they hate is that he is a lay person and therefore beyond their reach. I think I will subscribe just because I am getting tired of these clerical games.

Michael Voris is in threArchdiocese of Detroit, but he does not own the RealCatholic website. It's owned by Marc Brammer; and Brammer has not been asked by his bishop, Fort Wayne-South Bend Bishop Kevin Rhoades to cease using the word Catholic.

"How do you know what Real Catholic requested?"

Brammer (the owner of RealCatholic) has asked for the meeting with Abp Vigneron. He's the one who represents RealCatholic.
