**If High Ranking Priests Don’t Resign Dirty Laundry will be Publicly Aired During Lent
***New Society of Faithful Catholics Forms to Confront Priestly Sexual Abuse
*By John-Henry Westen MINNEAPOLIS, March 9, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - It seems like all hell is breaking loose in the archdiocese of St. Paul - Minneapolis. In recent weeks 27 priests signed a petition against Archbishop Harry Flynn’s backing for a measure to protect the traditional definition of marriage. The diocese is refusing to release those names and it has not publicly ordered the priests to be silent about their heterodox views, but it has, at the same time, silenced a faithful priest who objected to the graphic sex-ed program advocated by the archdiocese.

Like many dioceses in North America, the archdiocese has been plagued by the scandal of priestly sexual abuse. The diocese is unique however, in that a movement of faithful Catholic lay men has chosen to publicly confront the scandal, not by demanding - as do most such groups - that the Catholic Church become more liberal and abandon priestly celibacy, but by direct confrontation and demands for faithfulness.

Sounds serious.

Has someone notified the Vatican so the Pope or someone over there can lean on the Archdiocese and stop this.

I think I agree with their basic idea - Priests need to work for and with each other, and to make sure that their brother priests maintain chastity.

I would call this one of the fruits of persistent heresy and apostacy.

May the Lord have mercy on us all.

The diocese… has not publicly ordered the priests to be silent about their heterodox views,

That is what it should do, IMO. Personally, I am tired of priests and nuns publically going against Church teaching.

Aren’t we all? I don’t see it ever changing.

Its so rare for a bishop to come out against such stuff, that it makes headlines in the Catholic world.
