The reason: The ordinariate told him that “it would not be prudent to permit you to continue your high profile in the media.”
Ashenden is an associate editor of the Catholic Herald which for the Francis' Vatican is "too Catholic." In the past, he contributed to The Times, The Daily Telegraph, the Jersey Evening Post, The Spectator, and Christian Today. He maintains Ashenden.org.
In a November 27 statement he stated that "the only responsible course of action is to withdraw from the Ordinariate" since he is "causing anxiety or concern to the Ordinariate" which is afraid of "what I might do or say, or even that ‘the way I say something’ would potentially reflect badly on its wider community."
Had Ashenden propagated homosex instead of confessing the Faith, Francis would have received him in private audience.
