Sure, they are out there. They cannot enter or conduct any Sacraments on any Church owned property without the Bishops permission. Any Of the Faithful that knowingly attend any Sacrament with these priests commits a grave sin.
Well, he is a priest, but he is a priest without faculties; that is, he does not have the authority to administer the sacraments.I know a priest that left the church to get married but still considers himself a priest
Can you explain the second part of that? I thought that if he was part of an order, the bishop of the diocese had no bearing on him and he was accountable only to the head of his order.his in an order, and his authority comes first from the head of his order, and then secondly from the bishop in the diocese he is physically residing in.
Just like altar girls as the article correctly mentions… the same with communion in the hand. Keep defying the Vatican nowadays and eventually you will get your way.
Another thing that I think is disturbing is the reference to “in-home Mass”.Just like altar girls as the article correctly mentions… the same with communion in the hand. Keep defying the Vatican nowadays and eventually you will get your way.
That is sick, but it seems to be right on the money. It happened with altar girls, it surely can happen also with the Latin Rite discipline of celibacy.

If, for example, one is ordained a priest in the Benedictine order, one is under the authority of the abbot. However, one is not free to just wander in to a parish and say Mass; the bishop has the authority over his diocese (and as I understand it, that includes the permission to set up the abbey therein) and the authority of a Benedictine priest to say Mass publicly in a parish ultimately reside in the bishop. Not that it is not freely given, but it is still the provence of the bishop.Can you explain the second part of that? I thought that if he was part of an order, the bishop of the diocese had no bearing on him and he was accountable only to the head of his order.
Again the Bishop has the authority to regulate the celebration of Mass or any other Sacrament within the boundries of his diocese. He can and many have said that Mass outside of the parish church building or dedicated chapel (like a nursing home) must have his specific permission before it can take place.Another thing that I think is disturbing is the reference to “in-home Mass”.

The bishop is in charge of his diocese, but the superior of the order is in charge of his priests. So, the Benedictines are generally a monastic order, so a priest of the Benedictine order would need permission from his abbot to celebrate Mass publicly, and permission from the bishop to celebrate Mass in a parish. (And permission from the pastor if the parish is not his own.)Can you explain the second part of that?
