A longtime peace and human rights activist arrested countless
times, Franciscan Fr. Jerry Zawada has been removed from public ministry for
concelebrating Mass with a woman priest in 2011.
The letter removing the 76-year-old's public priestly faculties -- a copy of
which NCR obtained March 21 -- came from the Vatican's Congregation for the
Doctrine of the Faith, which reviewed documentation related to the Nov. 22,
2011, liturgy Zawada concelebrated with Roman Catholic Womanpriest Janice
Sevre-Duszynska.
My Final Comment: The NCR shows its schismatic corruption and utter contempt for the true Church and should be forced to remove the name "Catholic" from its title. As Fr. Z points out at his blog, the National Chismatic Rag (NCR) makes it sound like the woman was a priest and that she was celebrating a Mass and that she is a Roman Catholic. She is none of these things and in fact is excommunicated. The NCR does not regret the misinformation!

So, it took three years for someone to do something about this? Not encouraging.
'Though the mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding small'.
NcR has been told to remove "Catholic" from their name because they are disobedient. But because they are disobedient, they won't comply. That's what happens in the Church. Someone like LCWR or NcR gets in trouble but they ignore the sanctions. Someone like LC or FFI gets in trouble and they comply with the sanctions. But because of the disparity of response, it seems like the Church is only cracking down on conservatives.
Bernard,
Actually, the Church does crack down on everyone who harms her, be they the "conservative Pharisees" or the "progressive Heretics."
LCWR has been sanctioned for their "crazy talks and deeds," and NCR, despite their name and what they claim to be, is NOT a real Catholic publication, unlike, for example, America, which means the Church cannot force them to do anything.
Anonymous @2:36. What sanctions have LCWR suffered? Their last annual meeting still had new-age speakers going on about moonbeams and stardust. Did their oppressive supervisor nix speakers we've not been told about? Has anyone been expelled over support for abortion and women's ordination? It seems to me that their visitation has been a lot of noise to little effect,
Bernard, You saw that moonbeam crap, too. I nearly spit iced tea on my computer screen when I read that stuff. These people will never shut up unless they are made to do so. Unfortunately, most of the more efficient methods of shutting them up have not been allowed since about the eighteenth century.
