The controversial Chicago priest who 'apologized' for his dissenting remarks and claimed that he "respect[s] and follow[s] the Catholic Church teachings" has said on a Facebook page that he was "told" that he had to apologize, even though he continues to publicly disagree with Church teachings. [Earlier story here]
Considering the wording of his earlier statement, however, most intelligent people probably already figured out that he was "forced" to apologize. The big question is how long will this dissenting priest who undermines Catholic teachings be allowed to continue as pastor. Then again, persons who are familiar with such cases probably already know the answer to that question. Let us pray, though, that we may be pleasantly surprised.
