Fr. Richard Perozich speaks with Church Militant about his ordeal
SAN DIEGO (ChurchMilitant.com) - The bishop of San Diego, California is banning a parish priest from publishing anymore columns in the parish bulletin.
Father Richard Perozich, pastor at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, suffered backlash in November from parish bulletins advising Catholics how to vote. An October 16 insert — which had not been endorsed by Fr. Perozich — said it was "a mortal sin to vote Democrat." Father Perozich then authored an October 30 column in the parish bulletin denouncing abortion, the LGBT agenda, euthanasia and other intrinsic evils condemned by the Catholic Church.
The backlash was immediate, with multiple media sources criticizing Fr. Perozich, while his own archdiocese refused to support him. His bishop, Robert McElroy, went so far as to make a speech the following weekend claiming that clergy should refrain from telling Catholics how to vote, either directly or indirectly.
Now Bp. McElroy is forbidding Fr. Perozich from publishing anymore columns in his parish bulletin.
"He said the information in my bulletin was not according to the magisterium," Fr. Perozich told Church Militant. "The bishop criticized a section I had on the parish website for Christians who suffered martyrdom for their faith wherein I identified the offender as the perpetrator and the martyr as the victim."
"I had put other theological opinions in on Islam, sexuality," he explained. "He [the bishop] said that these were anti-gay, anti-Muslim."

The next Catholic Pope will remove McElroy, Cordileone, Gomez, and probably every other bishop in California.
Next Pope can’t just remove a Bishop like that, not unless there is a serious cause for removal from see. To find serious cause the Church will likely need a council to condemn the new modern heresies at work today.
Let us to our blessed mother and ask that she protect our clergy from heresy, scandal and lukewarmness.
All the masks are coming off.
Bergoglio has been consistently removing orthodox bishops for the most trumped up and often false accusations.
I’m using information like this to compile a list of good guy and bad guy bishops and priests so that when the schism comes I know who to follow. McElroy was already on the naughty list.
Father Richard Perozich is a good man. The bishop is the bad egg here.
A Pope can do anything not contrary to the laws of physics. McElroy has just commanded his priests to commit mortal sin.
Thank you, Father Richard Perozich, for speaking the truth of your faith and the core teachings of the Judaeo-Christian tradition. With eyes focused on those teachings, Trump was the candidate a believing Christian or Jewish person would vote for. The bishop is terribly wrong in stifling the word of God.
it’s all about the tax exempt status and the fear of losing it
