Priest still believes, but not in Jesus
Sacked Catholic priest Peter Kennedy says he hasn’t given up on God and prayer, but no longer believes in Jesus.
Father Kennedy, dismissed by the church for unorthodox practices, says he now considers Jesus “a fable”.
The rebel priest made headlines in 2009 when he formed a congregation in exile.
He was earlier sacked by the church for unorthodox practices such as allowing women to preach the homily and
blessing same-sex relationships.
Fr Kennedy says he still believes in God, just not a God who intervenes in the affairs of humans.

Why do newspapers eschew paragraphs?
In his case they aren’t needed. His nonsensical rants proved them unnecessary. It reads like a space cadet. St. John definitely was right, some may have never been really with us. And what little he knew of Jesus if at all. I won’t post the rest, because his words are scandalizing.
“It’s true I’ve given up on that sort of a God, that sort of a ‘being’ that sits up there in heaven somewhere and intervenes in human affairs,” he told AAP on Wednesday.
"If you believe in a God that intervenes into human history why didn’t God intervene in the massacre in Norway? Whatever God is, God is not that sort of God, obviously.
“That’s what I’m trying to say.”
Fr Kennedy said he still believed in prayer, but not asking things of God.
“For me prayer is just standing in wonder and awe at the mystery of life, the beauty of life, the goodness of people.”
Praying in church was not about talking directly to God, he said.
"It (public prayer) is about informing the community of people within the community and outside the community who are in need, it’s not about informing God.
“God already knows all that, that’s God.”
This is a result from the Error of Modernism… an attack on the Son is an attack on the Father…Cast doubt on the Son, and you obstruct the way to God.
It’s sad. Pope Pius X was right to have priests take an oath against the Heresy of Modernism.

No one can truly say they still believe in God, when they already were shown the WAY through the Son. They don’t believe in GOD anymore, just some abstaction and a God created relative to one’s views first. A God that stems from self, where his laws and his commandments can be subjectively fixed to justifying sins & errors.
He is currently a wolf in sheep’s clothing; every single daft quote of his reflects a man eager to lead others astray from every which way, with old errors **(oscillates between Deism, to new age, to Modernism) **and recycled fallacies…He reads like a man lonely in the misery he has chosen.
His words will only mislead potential atheists and agnostics and those in doubt of God from coming to the faith. Reading that full article is disgusting. The news were giddy to report this nonsensical weed, throwing his rantings against a God he resents under the guise of a ‘former Catholic priest’ for whatever sins he hopes to justify.
The most annoying thing about this way of attacking Jesus Christ is now the enemies say, *“Come, enough time has passed, people are turning away and hardening their hearts , Let US say the Son of God, never was” * A direct contradiction to John 1.
(Rather,
attack
John’s Gospel definitely frustrates certain principalities if you get my drift)
Logic and History , disprove them. For one, the enemies can’t keep their story straight in attacking the Way, the Truth, and the Life
May the Lord rebuke these people and cast off their errors.
May St. Michael’s Prayer Return and Be Commonly Recited In the Pews
For The Wayward Priest
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle! Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into Hell, Satan, and all the other evil spirits who roam about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
