"The 'bottom line' is that the Catholic Church does not need a Synod and should not be excommunicating tradition-loving clergy and laity who reject the appointment and promotion of closeted, pro-LGBTQ prelates like Freiburg Bishop Christian Würtz and so many others. What the Church really needs is a truly Catholic pope and straight, chaste, faithful Catholic clergy."

ReplyDeleteThis is another report from Spain. The Bishop transferred the Priest on receiving initial reports of abuse, till the evidence was out. More interesting is that the Neo Catechumenal way has a very strong presence in the diocese of Malaga. Let's Pray the Catholics of the diocese will wake up and shut down the Cult.
Following is quote from Google AI mode on the connection between the NCW and the Parishes where Fr. Fran served..
"Strategic Summary of the Abuse Track
The court's findings showed that the crimes themselves took place between 2015 and 2018, aligning primarily with his active time in Álora. The Neocatechumenal Way communities in that specific area provided the deep, peer-to-peer social trust he used as a weapon. When early warnings about his inappropriate behavior surfaced years later, the Diocese chose to relocate him out of the main Málaga province to Melilla in 2021 rather than suspending him. This transfer inadvertently placed him back into a pastoral role over another parish with active Neocatechumenal ties, where he continued his pattern until his partner exposed his hidden hard drives in 2023.
