Victim of Francis: Don Alejandro Gwerder - Dedicated Priest and Pastor
On 16 January, the anti-Catholic Jorge Scheinig, Archbishop of Mercedes-Lujan, Argentina, announced in an unsigned document - "even in this they are cowards" (Caminante-Wanderer) - that Francis' Dicastery for the Clergy had dismissed Don Alejandro Gwerder from the clerical state for alleged offences against "obedience and communion".
The same dicastery that takes decades to convict sexual abusers, or pardons them once convicted, that remains impassive while priests commit the most flagrant acts against obedience and communion in the Church - by preaching heresies, presiding at blasphemous liturgies and blessing homosexual sin -, dares to condemn a faithful priest, comments Caminate-Wanderer.
Caminate has known Don Gwerder for many years: "I can testify that he has always been a priest totally dedicated to the service of Christ and his Church. And what I am saying is not a cliché, but pure reality".

God bless this priest. I'm certain he has a heart that means so very well. But if he's devoted his life to even a "conservative" version of the Conciliar faux church, I think this awful experience he is suffering may be a graced time to ponder the wisdom (or lack of it) of his thinking.
Father Alejandro Gwerder was for many years the parish priest of the Immaculate Conception in Rawson, a small town in the heart of the humid pampas of Buenos Aires. In its small neo-Gothic church he restored the beauty of the liturgy, also celebrating the traditional mass.”
This is the correct quote from the article. There was no mention of restoring the Novus Ordo. Father Gwerder is being persecuted by the anti-church for his Catholic faith.
@Laurie Sabel The quote that I copied and pasted is still in the article posted above. What's the article from which you're quoting?
Father sounds like an excellent Priest and faithful Shepherd. He should have long since gone over to the SSPX and sought their protection for himself and for his ministry while he had a chance.
