TradCatKnight: Scottish Priest is Being Dismissed from Clerical State Because of Book Critical of Sodomites in the Catholic Church
Scottish Priest is Being Dismissed from Clerical State Because of Book Critical of Sodomites in the Catholic Church
Update: just for the sake of people who’ve raised questions about the title we’d like to clarify. Without consulting the canon law, and not having any real accreditation in it, we understand that it’s necessary for a suspended priest to submit himself for laicization of his own free will. We know of cases where clergy have refused to submit to it, but they are effectively inactive. In any case, he’s been thrown out of his parish into the street and can’t act as a priest. So, as far as we know, he hasn’t been laicized yet, but regardless, whether he submits himself for it or not, he’s not going to get a parish in this diocese, or legitimately offer Mass probably anywhere in the Church unless it’s in private that he does so. At this point, we’re just wondering if Father has been offered a stipend, or the opportunity to live in a monastery someplace, as sometimes happens. Naturally, we hope this courageous priest finds another diocese with a sympathetic bishop, or joins the Society of Saint Pius X. We hope he finds some way to continue through this.
Edit: in tomorrow’s news, Bishop rewrites bible so as not to offend victim classes. Who cares if some people were offended. Are the claims true or not? Does anyone have a copy of this book? Never mind, here it is…
Father Matthew Despard had already been suspended in 2013 because of his book. After unsuccessfully appealing it, he must now leave his parish. The book was removed again from the market after complaints.
Blantyre (kath.net/CWN/jg) Father Matthew Despard, priest of the parish of St. John Ogilvie in Blantyre (Scotland) must leave his parish on instructions from the competent bishop. Despard was suspended in 2013 after publishing a book on the great influence of aberrosexuals in the Church of Scotland.
Joseph Toal, the bishop of the Motherwell diocese, has justified Despard’s suspension by insisting that his book damaged the reputation of a whole range of persons, both laymen and clerics. Despard has challenged the suspension, albeit unsuccessfully. While his proceedings were ongoing, he remained in the parish. After all the possibilities of appeal had been exhausted, Bishop Toal has now instructed him to leave the parish.
In his book “Priesthood in Crisis,” Despard claimed that a powerful gay mafia exerted great influence in the Catholic Church in Scotland. The book appeared shortly after the resignation of Keith Cardinal O’Brien, the Archbishop of Edinburgh. O’Brien had been forced to resign because of allegedly sexually molesting priestly candidates. Despard’s book had been withdrawn from the market after some of the persons named in the book had threatened with complaints. Read more »
