[Catholic Caucus] Archbishop Who Criticised Francis, Suspended

Włocławek Bishop Wiesław Mering forbad the former Karaganda/Kazakhstan Archbishop Jan Lenga, 69, to preach and to say Mass in public.

Lenga was secretly ordained a priest in 1980 in Soviet Union and has fought totalitarian regimes for many years. Since his retirement, he has been residing at the Licheń sanctuary, Włocławek diocese.

Diocesan chancellor, Father Artur Niemira, told KAI that the ban also applies to contacts with the media. It will remain in place until further restrictions will be announced by the Vatican.

Lenga describes Francis as an antichrist and heretic. During liturgies, he mentions Benedict XVI instead of Francis. It was Lenga who made Monsignor Athanasius Schneider an auxiliary bishop in Karaganda.

Lighten up Francis.

Lenga describes Francis as an antichrist and heretic.

Certainly a heretic - probably only a pawn of the antichrist.

I understand Bishop Lenga's frustration, but he went a little too far. If he truly believes what he said, he should have kept it to himself while continuing to be critical in a more "professional" manner. Now the faithful are going to be deprived of a terrific bishop (even though he's retired).

I have to say the same of Bishop Gracida.

How so?

If he truly believes what he said, he should have kept it to himself while continuing to be critical in a more "professional" manner.

Why? And what in the heck is a "professional" manner? Is that comething secular?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Utterly predictable. The Papacy is a dictatorship.
