Fr. Jonathan Morris’ upward mobility shows that he’s quite the mover. While he seems like your average parish priest, he is hardly that. In 2002 he was ordained as a priest in the wealthy and secretive Legionaries of Christ which was founded by the disgraced Fr. Marcel Maciel. By 2005, in addition to a cushy assignment as the rector of the Legionaries’ seminary in Rome, Morris had joined Fox News. He subsequently left the Legion and ended up at Old St. Patrick’s Cathedral in the theater district of NYC and not in some poor church in the outer boroughs. So he’s got a daytime job and he’s doing all right. I joked, in an earlier post, about how his friendship with NY Archbishop Dolan shows how he has friends in high places. It seems that that he has another friend in another very high place – no, not “the big guy” in heaven, but the “big guy” at God’s own network, Fox News. Could it be that Roger Ailes hearts Fr. Morris? Hmmm…..
