Boston Catholic Insider
We are very pleased to report that Cardinal O’Malley is banning a dissident Austrian priest from speaking at St. Susanna in Dedham. Here is an excerpt from one of two pieces that appeared in the Boston Globe:
Cardinal Sean P. O’Malley is banning a dissident Austrian priest from speaking at a parish in Dedham, prompting a coalition of reform-minded Catholics who invited the priest to move their event to a nearby Unitarian Universalist church. …
BCI commends Cardinal O’Malley for the decision to ban this talk. We also commend the Boston Archdiocese for publicly issuing this policy statement. We have been hoping and praying for a policy like this for many years, and we view it as a very encouraging sign that the Boston Archdiocese is now going to enforce a policy that will not permit any individuals who promote positions contrary to Catholic teachings to speak in Catholic parishes or at church events.
