Oh they do.

I wonder if with the condemnation of the local ordinary, they just didn't want to push it even further and get a public statement of excommunication for it.

The top Catholic leader in Michigan slammed a big liberal Mass today in Detroit, saying it had significant abuses and he ordered a review of a Ferndale priest who led the services before 1,500 Catholics, a church spokesman said.

Defying Archbishop of Detroit Allen Vigneron, a Catholic priest from Ferndale led a Mass today in Cobo Center that was organized by the American Catholic Council, a controversial umberalla group of liberal Catholics. And dozens of Catholic priests and deacons from metro Detroit attended the Mass, said organizers.


Continued- 78-year-old priest says he's too old to face consequences for abusive behavior at Mass (but judging from the photos, he may have been the youngest person at the conference)...

Looks that way. Still, 1500 attending is unfortunate. I can't help but wonder how they got that many.

Interesting that there is no indication of what the abuses were...

It made me kind of get the feeling that they are determined to find abuses whether there are any or not...
