An elderly Jesuit priest has been suspended from ministry in the Milwaukee archdiocese after he joined in a liturgical celebration with a woman who claims to be a Catholic priest.
Father Bill Brennan told the National Catholic Reporter that his Jesuit superiors had barred him from public ministry at the request of Milwaukee’s Archbishop Jerome Listecki. The 92-year-old priest said that he was also told not to contact the media—an order that he apparently ignored in speaking with the National Catholic Reporter.

Jesuit’s - It’s what they do
He’s only 92: it’s not too late for him to convert to Catholicism ...
This rot had set in more than a generation before the Second Vatican Council.
Liturgy alone is not culprit.
The spokesman for the province's comment is essentially: "The news about his suspension is accurate. Also, he is totally awesome. Just a super guy."
And the bishop solves the problem. Thanks!
And the bishop solves the problem. Thanks!
Yup. Birds of a feather.
Nobody seems to remember that the N"C"R was sanctioned by its territorial bishop in 1968 or thereabouts for publishing heresy and ignoring church teachings. Of course they ignored him.
There’s a grain of truth in saying ... the older one gets, the wiser one gets.
You are saying that it was a wise move for this 92 yo Priest to go against the Church teachings?
He probably considers himself a man priestess, and thought it would be a wash.
Freegards
Just so. There were numerous dissidents crawling in the woodwork, and they saw Vatican II as their chance to come out in the open, and regretably to take charge of numerous religious orders and dioceses.
Vatican II was distorted and hijacked by those dissident priests and nuns.
It could be the first time in a long time a Jesuit had anything to do with a woman.
My Pastor went to the Vatican to meet Pope John Paul II. There was a Jesuit with his group and was introduced as such. The Pope asked “but are you a Catholic?”
Politically wise, no; factually wise, yes.
The Earth, for instance, is not flat.
The Franciscan asked, "What's a Mercedes Benz?"
The Jesuit asked, "What's a novena?"
“He’s only 92: it’s not too late for him to convert to Catholicism .”
Ha HAAAAA Hilarious, just beautiful bon mot.
LOL! Post of the day. :)

LOL!
Sorry-I had to laugh at that.
And as for the earth: we've known the earth was a sphere --- and known, within a few miles, its circumference --- since about 240 BC. Which is nothing to the point, except this: we apparently know more about spheres and circumferences than poor Fr. Brennan knows about the sexes and the sacraments.
Thank you, I’ll be here all week!
