Please support Fr. Frank Phillips against the Unjust Actions of Cardinal Blase Cupich

Falsely accused traditional priest ousted by Cdl. Cupich appeals to canon law

Last March Fr. Frank Phillips CR, a traditional priest and pastor of St. John Cantius in Chicago, was informed by Cardinal Cupich that, despite being cleared of the charges against him for inappropriate relationships with adult men, he was permanently removed from ministry in the Archdiocese of Chicago. This move was no great surprise. Cardinal Cupich's antagonism toward the Tridentine form of the Mass is well known and long-standing. That he would take action against this priest and this parish is consistent with his past behavior. He leaped to judgment when the accusations came out, even informing the secular media. Talk about ruining a good man's reputation!

And You Thought the Homosexual Clergy Problem was Behind Us?



I can think of several dioceses that might have the pink triangle for their logo! God help us. Remember when Bishop Bruskewitz made a motion at the bishops' meeting in Dallas to study the relationship between dissent and the homosexual clergy problem? He couldn't even get one bishop to offer a second to his motion. He called his brothers at the time, "This pathetic bench of bishops." What an understatement!

Well, the beat goes on...and on...and on. Which reminds me...pray for the repose of the soul of Fr. Robert Nugent who with Sr. Jeannine Gramick founded New Ways Ministry. The two paraded around the country shilling for the homosexual agenda until the Vatican finally, after years, put a stop to it -- at least under Catholic auspices. May God have mercy on this scandalous priest whose philosophy was "I'm Okay, You're Okay" no matter how sinful your choices. How many did he ensnare with his siren song?

Well, now he knows the truth. I wonder how his philosophy went over at the personal judgment. I pray he repented and sent his heretical views to hell where they came from before he stood face to face with Jesus who died to save each of us from the seven deadly sins. God doesn't want to lose any of His children, but He will never violate our freedom to reject Him. But what a tragedy to lose the eternity of heaven for this blink of an eye in the world. In the end, the choice between God's way and our way is all that matters. Please Lord, help me to be faithful and to live and die in your friendship.
