He is called an Assyrian bishop, which he is not, and never has been. It's a correction. Gloria tv would not let me post a link, but go to the ytube video, Mar Mari Emmanuel demolished by Sydney bishop for more info. I am very careful with deceptions. Our society is saturated with them. If I was following a bishop who said he was ordained where he was not, and has been excommunicated but does not admit it, I'd want to know why he is keeping it to himself. I, too follow some suspended priests, but they are open about what has happened to them.

We can spend our entire lives avoiding our demons. In voluntary isolation, you are forced to face them and overcome, esp. with prayer and avoiding all distractions. We have something similar called Retrouvaille, for troubled marriages, which my husband and I participated in. You are not totally isolated, but do not speak with anyone except your spouse, with the exception of mealtimes. It ended with Holy Mass, and I can say it was a very powerful Mass to participate in after an intense battle with those demons. Like receiving the Eucharist after exorcism. It is a weekend retreat, (Catholic initiative) with spiritual support, but no phones, watches or alarms allowed. Couples also offered follow-up afterwards, which we could not do. Most marriages were saved, even a couple who were divorced 10 years reconciled. Our city does not have a Retrouvaille program, so we drove 8 hours to Minneapolis in 2002. It was worth every sacrifice. Still together after 32 years, and going strong. Face those demons. They are so weak compared to Christ's love.

Feeling sorry for him as a human being in "time". Lucifer had all knowledge and fell due to his own pride, knowing all. The Cardinal does not know "all". Also, I did not say he is innocent of anything. I am sorry for him despite his guilt and/or ignorance. My pity is not sentimental, unless you mean compassionate. And if Jesus prayed "Father forgive them for they know NOT what they do", I can do the same. :)

Yes, everything Don Minutella warned of, he was correct. And he was "doubly" excommunicated, whatever that means. :). ANother made-up word by the fake church, much to his amusement. I really enjoyed his sense of humour. He was excommunicated because he would not pledge allegiance to Pope Francis. He repeatedly was asked to do so, and he repeatedly vowed allegiance to the Roman Pontiff (without naming Francis)--so he was punished. Very moving when he gently placed his vestments on an altar, and offered his suffering and his priesthood for the good of the true Church. I learned so much listening to his homilies and talks--he is more fiery than I even imagined John the Baptist, and his love of Holy Mary was palpable. Followed magisterial teaching to a T. He went ballistic when hearing prelates say that Mary was just a girl-next-door, our sister in the faith! Said very simply, the role of the church is to "Proclaim Christ!! What do we call a church that no longer proclaims Christ....?" Yet he is excommunicated----meaning he is staying exactly where he has always been: in the barque with Jesus.

Although there is a behaviour in line with transvestism, there really is no such thing, scientifically (ie-biologically) as homosexuality. In scientific terms, sexuality refers to REPRODUCTION, and there must be two opposite sexes involved the act for reproduction to be possible. We have been dumbed down and fed this erroneous definition for so long, no one questions it any more. What so-called homosexuals engage in is homo-eroticism, which is the aping of the sex act, which is a completely sterile act, no reproduction possible, ever, no matter what they do with their body parts. Sterile=not from God. Next time someone tells you they "trust the science", throw this at them and watch them implode.
