Priest Dead Three Months After Ordination

If you talk to priests anywhere where the Neo-Cats have a presence, you will here only strong opinions, pro or con. Many liberal priests don’t like them, because they keep to themselves, largely, and are on board with traditional Catholic moral theology, particularly with regard to sexual ethics. They are well known for having big families, and they do have a missionary impulse. The conservatives who don’t like them object to their odd liturgies, that are closed to non-members. They are also questionable on other things. I once heard someone call them “Lutherans, who don’t contracept.”

@John A Cassani -Thank you dis description. I had read many bad things about them, especially during the pontificate of Benedict XVI...that they were under investigation etc. Of course, with Francis, he would hatve no objection if they celebrated their liturgies in the nude. . Seriously though, this "their odd liturgies, that are closed to non-members" should be a red flag. Reminds me of the ceremonies of the Mormons, and the Masons.

I know a priest who helped out at one of their "masses". He told me they receive our Lord not kneeling (as in the TLM), or even standing (as in the Novus Ordo) but seated at dining tables. They pass around a huge chalice - more like a bowl - of the Precious Blood and each communicates himself! My friend was so worried about accidental profanation of the sacrament (i.e. spills, etc.) that he vowed never again to participate in any of their liturgies again!
