BAD SHEPHERDS
@
Some still plague us; others have gone to their just deserves.
Here are some of their more notorious contributions:
Bishop Tiny Muskens
Bishop Tinybrains should be reminded that God has several Hebrew names.... and Allah is not one of them! Bishop urges Christians to call God 'Allah'
Bishop Luca Brandolini
His response to the decree by Pope Benedict allowing priests to say the old Latin Mass:
"I can't fight back the tears. This is the saddest moment in my life as a man, priest and bishop," Luca Brandolini, a member of the liturgy commission of the Italian bishops' conference, told the Rome daily La Repubblica in an interview on Sunday.
"It's a day of mourning, not just for me but for the many people who worked for the Second Vatican Council. A reform for which many people worked, with great sacrifice and only inspired by the desire to renew the Church, has now been cancelled." (Bishop Mourns Latin Decree... by Silvia Aloisi Jul 8, 2007 ABC NEWS) Dry your tears bud. Time to learn Latin.
Fr Charles Faso, O.F.M.
Mass was celebrated for the Sisters of St. Francis of Mary Immaculate on June 16, 2007, at 10:30 a.m. The presider was Father Charles Faso, O.F.M.
NUNS GONE WILD: Sisters of St. Francis of Mary Immaculate Get Down for Jesus Under the Spiritual "Guidance" of Father Charles Faso, O.F.M.
The above information supports some of the information in the original article: Liturgical 'go-go' dancing?
There was a Jubilee Mass.
It was for women Franciscans.
It was at Joliet’s cathedral.
It was celebrated by Father Charles Faso, OFM, who bears a resemblance to the priest in the photos.
The Mass was June 16, and the OP’s article was dated June 19.
Fr Faso:
"I am a full time, on-the-road Preacher of God's Good Word. St. Francis was moved by God to begin the Franciscan Order to do as Jesus and the Apostles did - to travel from town to town and preach the Good News of God's love and mercy. Yes, I am an Itinerant Preacher. As you can see on the Schedule page on my website (www.frchuckofm.org), I will be preaching around the country, hopefully near you. I, also, lead pilgrimages to the Holy Land, Italy and many other places. Check "Pilgrimages" on my website for the latest information." Do check, it's telling. Faso's Website Yes, Fr Chuck parties in the name of the Lord.
Fr Charles Faso, OFM, Formerly pastor of St. Peter's, Chicago preaches and gives missions across the United States. There is nothing like spreading around a little disorder.
Bishop Donald Trautman
Bishop Trautman abusing the liturgy
"Imposing an agenda" -- but whose? His Excellency is taking on the ancient authors of the Roman Canon, and all the the popes who reconfirmed and promulgated it. Tsk, tsk. Read the rest here.
Bishop Tod "don't kneel" Brown
'Bishop Brown refused to give me Holy Communion. Bishop Brown said, “You need to stand up”. I was in shock and didn’t move or respond. He then reached out and took hold of my folded hands, attempting to physically pull me to a standing position, and said more sternly, “You need to stand.” I looked up and whispered, quietly and respectfully, “Please, bishop”, and he then grabbed my arm, and pulled me, as though to physically pull me up to a standing position (although obscured, you can see where he bends down and extends his right arm to grab mine) as he stated more loudly, “Get up”. Still on one knee, I then asked very quietly and with genuine ignorance, “Why?” As he stood up straight he responded, very loudly and sternly, “Because THAT’S the way we receive communion. Now, GET UP, you’re causing a scene.' Source

Cardinal Bernardin
•Congregation standing during the canon of the Mass,
•Holy Communion distributed into the palm,
•Female altar servers (before Vatican approval),
•When first proposed Cardinal Bernardin rejected the idea of universal catechism,
•Controversial church closings and demolition plans
Archbishop George Niederauer

Closing Mass@Religious Education Congress 07
Violations of Redemptionis Sacramentum:
Use of glass chalices, wicker baskets, liturgical dancing and references to altar servers (girls) as future Auxiliary Bishops.
@
•Promotion of Mass Theater, AKA liturgical dancing and incensing
•Appeasing homosexual and feminist dissenters,
•Giving his imprimatur to the Benzinger Family Life Series (with anti-Catholic feminist view of God, Church, and family)
Now watch this:
Bishop Mahony is asked "Is sexual orgies with a nine year old are cause to remove from ministry?"
Mahony: "NO!"
For a chuckle here is a post by Fr Rob Johansen from Dorr, Michigan titled Even Priests Have Fantasies. Every orthodox minded Catholic can relate to father's fantasy. It has to do with Cardinal Mahony and the Archdiocese of Los Angeles agreeing to pay $660 million to settle priest sex-abuse claims. Don't miss the link father provides at the end to his article for This Rock magazine titled Why Doesn't the Pope Do Something About Bad Bishops?
Archbishop Rembert Weakland of Milwaukee

“I did not know how much of a big dog that I am until I put my own name in the YouTube search engine and found a video of me saying Mass in Los Angeles. I am officially on YouTube! So, ya’ll can just eat your hearts out!” -- A Catholic priest tooting his own horn -- How EMBARRASSING!

Sr. Elizabeth Johnson
• Advocating for women’s ordination,
• Author of She Who Is (referring to God as "She")
"Dr. Elizabeth A. Johnson, C.S.J.,Distinguished Professor of Theology, was named the first recipient of the newly instituted Monika K. Hellwig Award, an "Award for Outstanding Contributions to Catholic Intellectual Life." The award will be presented at the Annual Meeting of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities (ACCU), which is a meeting primarily comprised of the presidents of more than 200 Catholic institutions. Dr. Johnson will give a short acceptance speech pertaining to the current multi-cultural and multi-religious context of society and higher education. Dr. Johnson is widely regarded for her contributions to Catholic systematic theology from a scholarly feminist perspective. (emphasis mine) She has served as a theologian on the Lutheran-Catholic Dialogue and on two Vatican-sponsored dialogues, one on science and the other on Christ and the world religions. She is presently working on a major research project on ecological theology." @

Fr Virgilio Elizondo
Fr Virgilio Elizondo presentation to Holy Family Youth Group
Fr Elizondo is a prominent proponent of liberation theology. Liberation theology is a school of theology that focuses on Jesus Christ as not only the Redeemer but also the Liberator of the oppressed. It emphasizes the Christian mission to bring justice to the poor and oppressed, particularly through political activism. Some elements of certain liberation theologies have been rejected by the Holy See for obvious reasons.
A note to my readers: To a Catholic there can be no debate – life is sacred. However, I will not include those “shepherds” who in some way advocate the violation of human life. They are as deplorable – if not more so – than the “shepherds” I list here. But in recognition of the excellent work pro-life bloggers do, and with thanks I shall leave this job in other competent hands.
