Fr. Pavone suspended from active ministry outside the Diocese of Amarillo

Looks like a turf war about money. Meh. I think Fr. Pavone is a good man who does good work and I hope they work things out and he’s back in action soon.

Update: The Anchoress has a statement from his bishop and Fr. Pavone’s response.

Still looks like a turf war to me, not a scandal. As is my custom, I assume the bishop knows what he’s doing unless I have good reason to think otherwise. I am happy to see that Fr. Pavone is, above all, OBEYING HIS BISHOP unlike the BS Dawg. He is also taking things to Rome rather than ditching his vows, filing suit or otherwise acting like a crook. That’s as it should be if he thinks he’s in the right and it’s why such avenues for redress exist in the Church. So I will continue to withhold judgment under the assumption that he and his bishop will work things out. Prayer seems to be the soundest course of action at this point.
