French Priests loses Vatican Appeal

France

Since 1986, Father Francis Michel has been the parish priest in Thiberville, in the diocese of Evreux [Evrö] in France. His parish was the only one in the diocese, where the Tridentine Mass was celebrated. In 2009 Evreux Bishop Christian Nourrichard asked Fr. Michel to leave quoting the need of merging his parish with another. But when in January 2010 the Bishop visited the parish he encountered heavy local protests. Last summer Father Michel appealed against the bishop’s decision to the Vatican. But ten days ago the appeal was refused. Fr. Michel has to leave his parish not later than February 20th. At the invitation of the Anglican Bishop of Salisbury Bishop Nourrichard participated last year at an Anglican ordination of women. He further obliged his priests to read parts of the Quran before the Gospel during the week for prayer for Christian Unity.

No Modern Greek, Please

Greece

Recently, Metropolitan Ignatios of Dimitriados was celebrating Vespers in the port city of Volos in Thessaly in Central Greece. For parts of the readings, he used the Modern Greek language rather than ecclesiastical Greek, the blog ‘hermeneutic-of-continuity’ has reported. But the Metropolitan encountered popular protest with people saying things like "Your Excellency, not in the demotic. Read the reading in the ancient language." Last April, the Greek Orthodox Holy Synod has condemned the practice of using the modern language in the Sacred Liturgy, citing the importance of the Church's unity.

Ex-Priest Gets TV Show

United States

Former Catholic priest Alberto Cutie is getting his own TV show – the webpage ‘jimmyakin.org’ has reported. Cutie left his vocation in order to marry a divorcee, after the two were photographed embracing on a South Florida beach. Cutie will host his daily talk show on Fox stations. A Fox spokeswoman said the show will be aired later this year in cities including New York and Los Angeles. It will be picked up nationwide if it does well.

I think we already know that this kumbayah bishop is flakey. What's even more interesting is who denied this priest's appeal? What were the reasons? Wouldn't you all wanna know? I do.

I think we already know that this kumbayah bishop is flakey. What's even more interesting is who denied this priest's appeal? What were the reasons? Wouldn't you all wanna know? I do.

According to another blog (I can't vouch for the authenticity of the information but here it is rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/…/final-chapter-i…), the kumbayah bishop went up as high as the Apostolic Signatura in Rome. Apparently, Fr. Michel's appeals were denied three times. I can only speculate that Fr. Michel was appealing that his parish would not be merged with another. It is not clear whether Raymond Cardinal Burke directly dealt with this case or not.

In any case, the plot gets thicker. I think that at this very moment someone in Rome is trying very, very, very hard to hide from this farce to remove Fr. Michel. We might never get to the bottom of this case. We might never know how deep the rabbit hole goes. One thing I know for sure and that is if you want to resolve something, put the matter into the Light and the darkness will flee.

Bishop Nourrichard by his actions has shown himself to be an enemy of the Church. There is no excuse for his actions other than one saying he is ignorant and "knows not what he does" and if this is the case HE SHOULD NOT BE A BISHOP! What this man is doing is hurtful to the Catholic Church and he should either come out in public and explain that his actions were wrong or be defrocked if he is this …More

Irrespective of the grievances against the Bishop of Évreux - the behaviour of the laity in the Church of Thiberville was truly scandalous. The booing during the Sign of the Cross and the accusations BELLOWED at Bishop Nourrichard in front of the Tabernacle were a disgrace. I've never witnessed such lack of discipline by the laity before a Bishop of Holy Mother Church.

I'm not sure about the chronological order of the events. According to www.theanglocatholic.com/…/the-bishop-of-e… (posted on Jan 10, 2011), the kumbahyah bishop, Bishop Nourrichard, backed off. Bravo to the nuncio, Archbishop Ventura, for setting things right.

What does that reading of Coran have to do with the Christian Unity anyway??? 🤦 🙄 🚬

Bishop Nourrichard is behaving in a disgraceful manner in attending Anglican ordination of women priests and having his priests read parts of the koran before the Gospels "in the name of Christian unity". Including the koran within the Mass should get this Bishop defrocked. He is guilty of scandal on many levels in the example and messages he is sending to his flock.

Including the koran within the Mass should get this Bishop defrocked. He is guilty of scandal on many levels in the example and messages he is sending to his flock. By attending the ordination of women in the Anglican church he is sending a subliminal message that somehow this practice is acceptable and perhaps the Catholic Church should be doing this and reading the koran "doctrine of the devil himself" within the Mass is extremely sinful in nature.

Do you mean that the story could have been as following ✍️ : the Bishop assigned Fr. Michel to a bigger parish so that he could have more faithful participating in the Tridentine Liturgy, thus fulfilling the wish of the Holy Father that the Bishops in all manners promote the love for this Liturgy. And Father Michel simply out of modesty, rebelled. 😀 👍

Gregory, it's not a question about leaving the Church. The traditionalists have NEVER left the Church nor am I planning to leave the Church. Instead, they were (and still are) sidelined and suppressed. Some groups and individuals have the courage to speak up. There have been examples of Popes that have been rebuked by the Saints.

Gregory, it's not a question about leaving the Church. The traditionalists have NEVER left the Church nor am I planning to leave the Church. Instead, they were (and still are) sidelined and suppressed. Some groups and individuals have the courage to speak up. There have been examples of Popes that have been rebuked by the Saints. Let's start with St. Peter who was rebuked by St. Paul for hypocrisy in Galatians 2: 11-14. There's also St. Catherine of Siena who rebuked Popes Gregory XI and Urban. St. Bernard and St. Francis had also rebuked Popes. There is a difference between these saints and Judas, and that is the purity of intent behind the rebuke. The action of this bishop and the shocking decision handed down by Rome should be rebuked with the great force possible!

It is this bishop and other kumbayah bishops, priests and laities who have left the Church through their kumbayah practices and interpretations. "If anyone should cause one of these little ones to lose his faith in me, it would better for that person to have a large millstone tied around his neck and be drowned in the deep sea. How terrible for the world that there are things that make people lose their faith! Such things will always happen - but how terrible for the one who causes them!" (Matthew 18:6-7).

Hummmm....... this video does not say whether or not Fr Michel, upon leaving the Parish (under the stated conditions), would be able to resume a ministry under the Extraordinary Form. If Fr Michel can do so, I see no difficulty with this situation; his flock can just follow him to his new church. On the other hand, if he is denied a ministry in the Extraordinary Form, then we have a problem. The …More
Hummmm....... this video does not say whether or not Fr Michel, upon leaving the Parish (under the stated conditions), would be able to resume a ministry under the Extraordinary Form. If Fr Michel can do so, I see no difficulty with this situation; his flock can just follow him to his new church. On the other hand, if he is denied a ministry in the Extraordinary Form, then we have a problem. The first of which is that it is illegal for a Bishop to deny the use of the Extraordinary Form of Mass.

Therefore, the problem is not located in the Vatican's stance on the matter, nor in the local Ordinary's decision which led to this mess in the first place (albeit quite distasteful indeed!). I think therefore that it rather lies within the answer to the question: can Fr Michel resume a ministry in the Extraordinary Form elsewhere?

P.S. I'd rather be in an irregular position with the Church and be 100% Catholic than this B.S. that we keep seeing and hearing in the Novus Ordo.

Oh my goodness. I'm seriously considering switching over to the SSPX given more and more nonsense.

Oh dear...... The First Daugher of the Chirstian West is manifestly quite ill isn't she....? 🥴 These things causes one to consider whether or not a Third Oecumenical Council of the Vatican is required to just put an END to all this nonsense!! 🤨
