They kicked Fr. John Mc Andrew out of The Orange County Ca |
|
Dioceses last year for being outspoken about the War in Iraq and his stand on Social Issues. He resigned from the priesthood and became a Catholic Worker. His last mass was said at the Catholic Worker in Santa Ana.
The Catholic church is a weak useless institution now and panders to the wealthy republicans for support in the US. Want to meet the Pope or become influential in your local Dioceses? Simply write a few big checks, you will get royal treatment no matter how big of an asshole you are.
A real guy like Fr. John is what is needed in Rome, not some bullshit "go along to get along" lackey like this guy they just selected.
