WESTLAND, Mich. (AP) — Detroit Archbishop Allen Vigneron (VIG'-neh-ron) has banned an Austrian priest from speaking at a parish because the priest advocates ordaining women and making celibacy for priests optional.

Schuller has been banned from speaking at Catholic churches in other parts of the U.S., where he is taking part in a multi-city tour. Schuller says the bans in Detroit and elsewhere reflect "an old-fashioned system" where church leadership is out of touch.

Archdiocese of Detroit spokesman Joe Kohn says Schuller's teachings are "not in harmony with Catholic Church teachings."
