CHANCERY V GOFIGAN: THE CASE GOES TO ROME

From Father Paul Gofigan's Facebook page:

St. Anthony Parish here I come! My case has finally made its way to Rome. I will be a priest in residence pending Rome's decision.

My note: It's do or die for Fr. Paul. If he loses this case, not only is he finished as a priest in this Archdiocese, he is sure to be blacklisted so that he cannot be a priest in any diocese. In fact, the blacklisting has already begun.

  1. I have never met Fr. Gofigan but I know enough about him to know he is an outstanding priest. My heart aches for him. I do not believe he willfully disobeyed the archbishop. If he unintentionally "erred" it was out of profound compassion for the repentant and reformed ex-convict Fr. Paul wanted to feel welcome and a part of the parish. I pray for Fr. Gofigan every day that he will be re-instated in such a way that the archbishop is not hurt or humiliated.
