LifeSiteNews.com Dismissed Editor-in-Chief John-Henry Westen
John-Henry Westen is no longer the CEO and Editor-in-Chief of LifeSiteNews.com.
LifeSiteNews's dismissal note was kind, as usual: "He is now on a well-earned sabbatical, spending valuable time with his family."
The company expressed "heartfelt gratitude" for Westen's many years of dedicated service to LifeSiteNews and the pro-life cause. "We wish him well during his sabbatical and ask for continued prayers for our organization as we move forward."
Journalist Edward Welsch addded on X.com: “Westen was removed by a 5-4 board vote, as a majority wanted to chart a new course for the site after the election of Leo XIV.”
Board of directors for LifeSiteNews include: Jeff Gunnerson, Royce Hood, Lisa Fischer, Dominic Ismert, Jim Hughes, John-Henry Westen and his friend and co-founder, Steve Jalsevac.

His approach to the Church's crisis is not the true way, MonsignorSchneider believes, because he rejects the authority of the valid Pope as such, accepted by the entire Church and all the cardinals: "It is a very serious act that we cannot accept."
Bishop Schneider added that Monsignor Viganò cannot be compared to Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, who always rejected sedevacantism: "Lefebvre criticised the errors of Vatican II, the New Mass and bad examples of the hierarchy, but he never used disrespectful language about the person of the Pope himself."
Monsignor Schneider believes that Viganò's attitude "seems to be driven by anger and lacks a supernatural perspective, which hinders true renewal."
However, Francis is promoting "some ambiguities and errors”, Bishop Schneider admitted. …
Mike, your notion there reads humble at first, but it is how Muslims put random-rulings ahead of common sense. Rather, here's how Catholics teach and believe: "A Pope who is a manifest heretic automatically ceases to be pope and head, just as he ceases to be a Christian and a member of the Church."—St. Robert Bellarmine, De Romano Pontifice II.30.

Bp. Schneider: "I won't follow the Pope into heresy."
AB. Viganó: "I won't follow the antipope into heresy."
Think about it... very... slowly... which one is more Catholic?
