By George Neumayr, American Spectator - Anderson sat on a Catholic tribunal for over 20 years despite leaving the priesthood, entering a “gay marriage,” rejecting Catholicism in favor of Episcopalianism, and publicly opposing the Church’s teaching on marriage… “It is ironic,” says a Church observer. “(Bishop) Bambera gets conservatives who leave the priesthood immediately laicized. But he lets a gay married man in an openly heretical state remain unlaicized and working on a Catholic tribunal? That’s absurd and totally irresponsible. He is willing to risk the good of the Church for an old buddy of his from the seminary.”

By Michael Heinlein, Editor, OSV’s Simply Catholic - It’s a big year for Archbishop Fulton Sheen and all who love him. It all began in June with the long-awaited transfer of his remains from St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City to Peoria’s Cathedral of St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception. In July, an alleged miracle attributed to his intercession was approved by the pope, clearing the way for his beatification, which is expected sometime in 2020.

Bishop Thomas John Paprocki, Diocese of Springfield in Illinois - “Father Martin’s public messages create confusion among the faithful and disrupt the unity of the Church by promoting a false sense that immoral sexual behavior is acceptable under God’s law. People with same-sex attraction are indeed created and loved by God and are welcome in the Catholic Church. But the Church’s mission to these brothers and sisters is the same as to all her faithful: to guide, encourage, and support each of us in the Christian struggle for virtue, sanctification, and purity.
