	Brisbane's Renegade Priest Seeks Help from the Vatican Catholic Culture March 20, 2009 http://www.catholicculture.org/news/headlines/index.cfm?storyid=2372 Father Peter Kennedy, who has filed legal action in Australian courts to prevent Archbishop John Bathersby from removing him as pastor of St. Mary's church in South Brisbane, is now looking for help from the Vatican as well. The appeal to Rome is not without irony, since Kennedy and his supporters have often complained that Archbishop Bathersby took action only because of pressure from the Vatican. In a television interview the rebellious pastor also conceded that his parish had been flouting Church discipline. "Yes, there were blessings of homosexual couples," he said. "We'd been flying under the radar for quite a while." Source(s): these links will take you to other sites, in a new window. * Sacked rebel priest appeals to Vatican (Brisbane Times)
