  • The blog header depicts an important and yet mis-understood New Testament scene, Jesus flogging the money-changers out of the temple. I selected it because the faith that gives us consolation can also make us very uncomfortable. Both Divine Mercy and Divine Justice meet in Jesus. Priests are ministers of reconciliation, but never at the cost of truth. In or out of season, we must be courageous in preaching and living out the Gospel of Life. The title of my blog is a play on words, not Flogger Priest but Blogger Priest.

Fisher More College Chapel

Permission for the public celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass has been revoked at Fisher More College by the newly appointed Ordinary, Bishop Michael Olson in Fort Worth, Texas. On top of this, the school’s president, Michael King, made expansion efforts that have left the college in dangerous financial straits. The former school chancellor, Dr. Taylor Marshall, states that it is all a reaction to the college president “politicizing” the old Mass to distract from his financial scandal and to avoid personal fault should the college close in coming months. The bishop, himself, has shown support for the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter in his diocese.

A professor attacked Vatican II.  The renegade priest Fr. Gruner and purportedly others without faculties have been allowed to offer Mass. The FSSP withdrew some time back. The chancellor resigned and certain Catholic students complained about the situation. Suspension of the old Latin Mass was in reaction to these serious matters. The bishop is a friend of the old Latin Mass and directed them to a parish where it is regularly offered. The president cancelled ALL MASSES and will not allow the revised Missal to be offered– showing the lie about respecting the validity of the ordinary form! The president has said he would sooner have the school close than offer the reformed liturgy. As for the bishop’s authority, he is on solid ground since it is a school chapel or oratory.Canon 1225 states that “All sacred celebrations can be performed in legitimately established oratories except those which the law or a prescript of the local ordinary excludes or the liturgical norms prohibit.”
