Dear former "reverend" Walker,

Don't let the door hit your sorry caboose! May many more follow him out the door! Time for priests and bishops to be Catholic, not PC!

Salvatorian, eh?

Milwaukee's second-most-infamous child abuser was/is a Salvatorian. The order has a very light-footed-pink odor in this area.

>>>>Sigh. Years of really lousy catechesis, I suppose, combined with years of pro-gay propaganda.

Of course, they were getting their catechesis from whom? The guy who just resigned because he disagrees with Church teaching.

Walker declined to disclose his sexual orientation, but he said he was no longer comfortable "wearing the uniform" of the priesthood.

"It's like a Jew wearing a Nazi uniform," Walker said. "I could no longer stay in that institution with any amount of integrity."

Wow! Sounds like this was for the best.

Yes, from him and his buds, to say nothing of their former "shepherd," the bishop better known for things other than teaching...

This article, originally written in 2000, was brought to my attention on bettnet last night. The priest who wrote it is a Marine chaplain. He was written about in 2004 (Wash. Times) when he was giving last rites to Marines in a firefight in Najaf.

Homosexual Agenda Ping.

Very good news. May his departure be the first of many. His statement about "a Jew wearing a Nazi uniform" shows that he hates the Church and was always an enemy of God.

Very interesting article. Biased, of course - note how they manage to find three church members who are supportive of the homosexual "priest" and none who are glad that an imposter is leaving.

Freepmail me and DirtyHarryY2K if you want on/off this pinglist.

Note this: "an instruction from the Vatican that limits entrance into seminaries primarily to heterosexual men."

What do they mean "PRIMARILY"? I would say "EXCLUSIVELY".

Hopefully more will be honest and follow.

Sometimes when priests are transferred they serve as an administrator for a short time before they are announced as pastor. It's just rubrics.

Good one!

No longer a "Windswept" house, but truly a "swept out" house!

Sorry to lose priests, but there are undoubtedly some who we would be better without.

I agree. I would gladly get up at 6:00 am, drive 40 miles, and stand in the back every Sunday if this policy were to mean fewer priests and fewer parishes.

I suspect however that we could even see MORE priests. I have been told that many good men simply can't deal with that "culture" in certain seminaries and either quietly leave or are forced out.
