Another Catholic Priest Removed Without Any Reason Given

The Diocese of Pittsburgh announced on Tuesday that Father Canice McMullen OSB would be removed from his parish, Mary, Queen of Saints in Aliquippa, on 1 July.

Father McMullen is a Benedictine monk of Saint Vincent Archabbey in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. He also celebrated Mass in the Roman rite.

The parish, which has four churches, is thriving, with many young families and an increase in weddings and baptisms. The parish has no need for "extraordinary" Communion helpers or female altar servers.

In the last two and a half years, Father McMullen is the second Benedictine monk to be removed as a parish priest by the Abbot of Saint Vincent and Bishop David Zubik. Both priests were Catholic in doctrine and liturgy.

Father McMullen is in his third year of a six-year assignment. No reason was given for the sudden removal. Hundreds of parishioners are demanding answers from the diocese.

"I cried," parishioner Emilie Hovanec Kisan told CbsNews.com on 17 June: "It's unjust; it's not right. It's time for us to fight and stand up for this. It's horrible."

She has a theory about why Father McMullen was removed. "There is a small group of individuals who are upset and did not agree with his practices. They complained week after week after week."

On Tuesday night, Kisan started an online petition for the priest, and it has already been signed by 2,400 people.

Why?

DrMariaJun 20

Because the V2 hierarchy hates the ecclesiology and theology of the Mass of the Ages, which contradicts synodality and the ecumenism that claims all the religions of the world are paths to God and actual means of salvation, the poisonous fruits of Vatican 2.

And what we hear from the new pope in the wake of yet one more suppression of the Roman Rite is silence! Well, Our Lady was not silent in regard to what we see continuing to play itself out in this new papacy.
Listen to what Cardinal Ciappi, who was papal theologian to 5 popes, said that Our Lady revealed in the authentic text of the 3rd Secret of Fatima, which the Vatican continues to conceal:
In the Third Secret it is foretold, among other things, that the great apostasy in the Church will begin at the top.
Mario Luigi Cardinal Ciappi, O.P.

In five years' time that parish will be closed for lack of funds/attendance.

What an outrage! The Parishioners should appeal to the Holy See and make their voices heard. The silence and failure of authorities to give insight into the reasoning surrounding the Father’s sudden removal is egregious. What could have legitimately merited such a cold and callous dismissal? The cruel disrespect to his service and ministry and the total disregard of the opinions and sentiments of the Parish’s Faithful is heinous, and they should seek recourse to Rome for ecclesiastical justice if his removal was unwarranted. However, let us pray fervently that there was no sodomy involved.

As much as I am loathe to say this, much of the episcopacy seems to respond when their budget is threatened, not the potential loss of souls.

When our ecclesiastical 'leaders' act like 'Neros', can a catacomb Church be far off?

The satanic liberal bishops HATE, DISPISE and ABHOR the TLM.
