(LifeSiteNews) — A priest whose bishop removed him from his pastoral duties and who is now barred from offering the sacraments — ostensibly due to blog posts critical of the Church’s handling of the clergy sex scandal — told LifeSiteNews that “a spider’s web of loyalties has gotten in the way” of the Church’s ability to competently restore the public’s trust in the Roman Catholic Church.
Fr. Mark White of the Diocese of Richmond, Virginia, has been put out to pasture by his Bishop Barry Knestout, who is now actively seeking to go further and laicize White for casting a much-needed spotlight on the Church hierarchy’s dealings with sexual predator priests and their victims.
