U.S. CATHOLIC REFORM ORGS STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH FR. TONY FLANNERY
September 23, 2020
As Catholics working together for a renewed Church, we stand proudly in solidarity with Irish Redemptorist Fr. Tony Flannery in the face of continued threats and bullying from the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) over his support for women’s ordination and the full dignity of LGBT+ persons.
The Inquisition-era “oaths of fidelity” the CDF has demanded that Fr.
This response from Cardinal Ladaria came as a result of a question asked by NCR reporter, Joshua McElwee at a press briefing this morning in the Vatican:
“If we have some advice to give to Fr. Flannery, we will give it to Fr. Flannery. I believe that out of respect for everyone [involved] and in particular for him, it is better to give this advice in private rather than in public.

This is a superb article. To say that I~am delighted with it is an understatement.
The gentlemen in the CDF deserve every bit of it.
