Father Jeremy Leatherby, a Sacramento priest, excommunicated for refusing Francis’ papacy, has confessed his love to a woman in a video message.
Leatherby was removed from public ministry in spring 2016 amid allegations of an inappropriate sexual relationship.
Parishioners told CatholicNewsAgency.com (August 11) that Leatherby had formed a pious circle of women around him, among them a daily mass-goer with whom the affair started. In an August letter, Leatherby admits that he “violated boundaries" with that woman but categorically denies a number of other allegations she levelled against him.
Leatherby writes that he has lived the last four and a half years “largely in isolation and in tremendous loneliness” suffering grievously.
Some months ago, he even wished to die. One night, after he had drunk too much, he attempted to send a video message to a woman “who is a friend” but mistakenly sent the video to the wrong contact. Leatherby calls the message “inappropriate.” In that message …More

I will keep you on my prayer list Fr. Leatherby. I am so very sorry you felt isolated and alone. God be with you.

Another important piece of information is that the Bishop who "excommunicated" him is the Marxist Jaime Soto who supports the subversive Marxist anti-Catholic organization BLM financed by Soros that promotes abortion and homosexuality.

I insist that we should create lay associations to watch over priests, especially to watch over these new bishops who believe that they can do whatever they want. So that priests do not feel alone and on the other hand those neo-bishops do not act as if they were untouchables who do not have to be held accountable to account for their actions.

I insist that we should create lay associations to watch over priests, especially to watch over these new bishops who believe that they can do whatever they want. So that priests do not feel alone and on the other hand those neo-bishops do not act as if they were untouchables who do not have to be held accountable to account for their actions. Since Bergoglio is not fulfilling the role of a pope, on the contrary, he has left the herd in the hands of predatory wolves.

Here it is admitted that the accusations are not entirely true. Even if it were completely true, they would be one more example of the fulfillment of the Good Success prophecies that indicate that many priests will deviate from the path because they will not have a pope to guide them.

It would be necessary to investigate this story more, because Church Militant reports that the parishioners supported the Priest who was being the victim of false accusations. www.churchmilitant.com/…/petition-launch…

Ah. Fallen priests with lovers and/or children and a permission for them to continue their priestly ministry - an important problem for the Church as Fr. Karol Wojtyla pointed out in his reply to the pre-conciliar questionnaire over 50 years before Amoris Laetitia.

Ah. Fallen priests with lovers and/or children and a permission for them to continue their priestly ministry - an important problem for the Church as Fr. Karol Wojtyla pointed out in his reply to the pre-conciliar questionnaire over 50 years before Amoris Laetitia.

quote:
"The people of the Church, and those very experienced in the law and involved in pastoral ministry, give some suggestions about clergymen who have violated the law of celibacy ... The question is often presented whether such a man, completely transferred by the Church to the secular state should not get some hope for restoration to the clergy with a dispensation from the violated law of celibacy, and thus an obstacle to higher orders, i.e. [dispensation] relating to marriage.

What are the reasons for this proposal? 1) It is about the eternal salvation of such a fallen priest, because the right to salvation of every person results from God's law, while celibacy comes rather from the law of the Church. Moreover, living in a civil union such a fallen priest is deprived of supernatural remedies, so he, and with him, his wife and possible offspring are exposed to a spiritual danger. 2) Often from such situations there come the enemies of the Church who persecute her with the utmost hatred. If the law were changed, they could live a more dignified life by compensating for the scandal they have caused. 3) It would also be easier for the ordinaries to interact with those clergy who, because of a handicap of nature or their interior life, do not fulfill the law of celibacy.
