[Michie]

It is well past time that the Association of US Catholic Priests, which is behind the formation of the dissident International Church Reform Network, is formally investigated by the United States bishops.

(Lepanto Institute) – In 2018, the Lepanto Institute published a report detailing the Association of U.S. Catholic Priests’ (AUSCP) involvement in a dissident organization called the International Church Reform Network (ICRN) and focused primarily on an alarming conference the ICRN held in Chicago in 2016.

We recently conducted a deeper investigation into the AUSCP’s involvement with the ICRN and have established the following points:

• The AUSCP helped found the ICRN with the help of other dissident priest groups in 2013.
• The AUSCP held a leadership role within the ICRN from 2013–2019.
• The AUSCP is currently listed as a participating member of the ICRN.
• The ICRN’s main areas of focus include discussing strategies for achieving the ordination of women to the priesthood, homosexual activism, and the establishment of priestless parishes.
• Recent ICRN social media posts also include the promotion of “reproductive freedom” and organizations such as Catholics for Choice

Ugh I don't know what's more of a plague on the Church sometimes: abortion or globohomo. At least with abortion I don't think there are any clergy who muddy the waters like Martin or McElroy.
