Support for Batavia priest grows amid pending removal-Shaw Local

Blithe Spirit 1 Minute

Sunday sermons, weekday observations

Very strange, makes you wonder about what’s the heck is going on.

This young, active priest accused of nothing is benched, suspended with pay, well not suspended, just removed from the roster.

And he’s not the only one. Rockford diocese here, but apparently at least one Chicago priest has gotten this treatment, hung out to dry with no comment or explanation by bishop or cardinal archbishop.

Crazy.
