| Cheers from Janice Sevre-Duszynska |
A 92-year-old Milwaukee Jesuit is the latest American priest to be sanctioned for celebrating the Catholic Mass with a woman priest[oooh, now we find out it has something to do with theology] in violation of church teaching.continue at JS
Father Bill Brennan, a longtime peace activist, has been ordered not to celebrate the Eucharist or other sacraments publicly, or to present himself publicly as a priest by the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and his religious order, the Society of Jesus. [I know i shouldn't be impressed but I am]
It comes three weeks after Brennan celebrated Mass with Milwaukee native the Rev. Janice Sevre-Duszynska during an annual protest at what was historically known as the School of the Americas at Fort Benning near Columbus, Ga.
And it follows the excommunication and defrocking of School of the Americas Watch founder Father Roy Bourgeois, a Maryknoll priest who participated in Sevre-Duszynska's 2008 ordination in Lexington, Ky. (The former School of the Americas is now called the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation.)
Brennan, who remains a priest and lives with other retired Jesuits in a Wauwatosa retirement home, said he knew he risked censure when he celebrated the sacrament with a woman priest.
"Sometimes in our lives we have to trust our conscience and bring about the consequences," said Brennan, a Wauwatosa native who taught at Marquette University High School beginning in 1968 and spent 17 years working in Latin America.
Ms. Johnson goes on to state that the existing 2000 year practice of priestly ordination is "highly controversial." That's just silly. Out of all the doctrinal problems within the Church, this one is the laughing stock. The pope himself said not that he won't change it, but that he can't. How much less controversial could it possibly be? I mean, look at the picture. We are supposed to take these people seriously?
Update: Wowza, just saw this at TPE
"Father Brennan said he plans to make it again next summer. 'I'm going to go with the next caravan,' he said. 'My goal is to have an ecumenical service at the tomb of Che Guevara. ...'"It's official. The man is a lunatic.

This is one of the greatest lines I've read here!
Let's not toss the baby out with the bathwater, so nice to at last see a Jesuit wearing a clerical collar at a non fundraising event! I guess he is 92 years old and bit of a traditionalist by the standards of the Society. Good for him not opting for the polo shirt or Hawaiian shirt look. Brick by brick...
Having experience with New England Catholics who tend to be on the Left, I am not surprised with the picture because it is a common thread. Vulgarity, reductionism and contempt for high culture are their primary emotional reactions to the sacred. The Left is always on the side of the childish, vulgar, iconoclastic mob.
Again with the use of glass vessels. C'mon people...
LOL! Kat, I really laughed out loud when I read that.

PERE’S POCKETS
The beginning of Wisdom
Is Fear of the Lord
So Wisdom with age?
I’ve seen no accord.
So you’ve lived nine decades
Seen the world more than twice
But what have you learned -
That sinners are nice?
That sinners eat
And sinners drink
And sinners read
And sinners think!
And sinners have
Sincere desires
Like remodeling rooms
With art that inspires
And compels one to lift
His goblet of wine
To toast all we want
And make want what is mine!
So all in modern
Society
Shall acknowledge their versions
Of propriety.
And when you die
They’ll bring goblets, blessed lockets…
But they’ll realize too late…
The Pere’s shroud has no pockets!
