@SonoftheChurch @The New Knights Templar I don't think these situations are alike. I just thought I would point out that when St Padre Pio was restrained from saying Mass publicly and he complied, it was false accusations from a jealous woman against his morals that had been made that caused him to be sent into confinement since they became confused about his known piety. There was never any question as to whether or not he was teaching the Truth. Church Legal Authorities doubted there was any Stigmata as was claimed, and they thought the situation wasn't good! In a way they quite RIGHTLY silenced him until they discovered him to be innocent and a holy warrior of God - and they had feared him to be set on forming a mini cult and was not a virtuous monk..
They try to accuse Fr Altman of being either too holy or being divisive for telling the Truth.
The Cowardice of his Bishop since the Bishop is embarrassed by all this attention, is the REAL sin! Fr Altman quite rightly causes a stir, revealing ALL that Christ seeks to enlighten us with including those facts nobody mentions any longer, the moral absolutes, that New Church seek to push under the carpet so the likes of James Martin can convert people instead ! You don't need a Church Tribunal to state that Fr Altman preaches Truth & need not resign., He is not accused (as St Pio had unjustly been) of lack of virtue. Fr Altman's morality is not questioned - some just do not like hearing Truth taught. May Christ support Him as he speaks Truth.
