I thought transferring to a Diocese would take care of him but who knows. We've lost several in the archdiocese whose borders I live within, really lovely priests. In one case, his mom introduced him to someone and my understanding is he's marrying; he was laicized.

It is all very sad, and it hits home, knowing he and his family are from Akron, and known to many of us.<br /><br />It is never good to second-guess what is between anyone and God. I trust God has a plan in all this. God always brings something good out of bad situations.<br /><br />I pray for all concerned, for their spiritual protection and peace. - Sue, OFSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-81669993611092326382019-06-13T14:02:55.226-07:002019-06-13T14:02:55.226-07:00The comments by Al Kresta were spot on in my opini...The comments by Al Kresta were spot on in my opinion -- well worth a listen. He talks about it on a segment before and after the news segment. https://avemariaradio.net/audio-archive/kresta-afternoon-june-12-2019-hour-2/<br /><br />I am with you Father -- we can offer our prayers for his path ahead, but to cheer him on for "following your heart" falls short and trivializes the priesthood (as Al Kresta says). I have one question, though: If it is true that he was coerced into his vocation, is it possible that his ordination was invalid? <br /><br />I am praying for Jonathan and for his whole family, who are dear friends of ours.

Better to have him leave the priesthood now before possibly doing something he, and the Catholic community, would regret. I don't believe we are to judge but that's just my opinion.<br /><br />It's sad. I'm sure he's letting a lot of folks down even though he is trying to avoid that.<br /><br />Kim Miller<br />Kim Millernoreply@blogger.com
