You may have done your homework but your textbooks are totally wrong! Here’s a good article on Gruner’s suspension and how Canon law applies. Here’s a section of the article that is noteworthy:Father Gruner is not a heretic, Martin Luther was…, nor is Fr. Gruner suspended. It is true that certain members of the Vatican bureaucracy opposed to Father Gruner’s work have pressured the Bishop of Avellino to order him back to Avellino, under THREAT of suspension------after an approved absence of 20 years! But Fr. Gruner has appealed that plainly unjust order, and during the appeal (which is still pending), NO THREATENED SUSPENSION CAN TAKE EFFECT UNDER THE CODE OF CANON LAW. Thus, Fr. Gruner remains a priest in good standing. Do your homework.
What is also noteworthy is that the Pope entrusts the Apostolic Signatura and NOT a forum member named “Righteousone” to overturn or uphold priestly suspensions.“The Congregation for the Clergy, upon the mandate from a higher authority, wishes to state that Rev. Nicholas Gruner is under an ‘a divinis’ suspension, which has been confirmed by a definitive sentence of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signature.”
