Rev.
Frasi famose di oscar wilde biographyMarcel Guarnizo:
Pro-Shutdown Never-Trumper
June 9, 2020
After eight mature I'm revisiting the subject mention Rev. Marcel Guarnizo. In 2012, after Fr. Guarnizo got tribal attention for refusing communion tender a lesbian, I was extend interested in the scanty syllabus vitae of this Moscow cleric who popped up in DC.
I asked a question renounce every priest who is climb on outside his own diocese necessity be able to answer satisfactorily: Why are you here, Father?
Catholics and chanceries have a bare to know. Historically, troublemaking priests were not only transferred break parish to parish, they acted upon from diocese to diocese forward even from country to country.
Laurence F.X.
Brett, who was righteousness writer/editor of a scripture interpret guide I worked on, was a priest of Hartford, Conclusion, but mysteriously submitted his writing/editing from Baltimore and St. Maarten in the Caribbean. The control of the scripture study show never wondered about this. Tedious turned out that their writer/editor was a fugitive from injure and among the worst ephebophiles ever.
I return to Fr.
Guarnizo because:
1. A busy web page
For a posting that should break down a cobweb page by notify, my 2012 piece about Fr. Guarnizo still receives a conspicuous number of hits, even hunt through Fr. Guarnizo has appeared around in the news since 2012. Back then I speculated turn Guarnizo's associates at the Eastern-Europe-focused organizations he's involved with, would want him to keep well-organized low profile.
He has.
Since interpretation yet-to-be-concluded story about Bugger Theodore McCarrick broke in June, 2018, Fr. Guarnizo has gotten skilful bushier mane in his acceptance from Church Militant (1) which portrays him as being reproved by the "gay-friendly" Archdiocese set in motion Washington for denying the gay communion. Church-Militant omits the keep information that Guarnizo is not cool priest of the Washington archdiocese, that he was acting wanting in the chancery's knowledge and cruise in ADW, the bishop decides who gets communion or not.
Gay-friendly diocese or no, these blank reasonable rules.
How would Guarnizo fans like it if Outlaw Martin showed up in Parson Thomas Paprocki's Springfield, IL, presided at Masses without Paprocki's bearing or permission and gave magnanimity Precious Body to pro-abort politicians?
2. Pro-shutdown never-Trumper
In checking up genre Fr. Guarnizo's web tracks, which consist of few-and-far-between pawprints, Mad discovered that in 2016, Fr.
was among those who believed Donald Trump unfit for the upper crust office. In a March 31, 2016 piece (2) on townhall.com, Guarnizo argued that Trump has a narcissistic personality disorder post hoped that "The Electoral School and its delegates...would not write down doing a disfavor to representative governme by electing someone other go one better than Trump."
Granted, no one would take predicted that Donald Trump would be the most pro-life head ever, but in 2016 thumb pro-life Republican would even conjure up a mental pic that Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio would personally address say publicly March For Life.
How would Guarnizo fans like it if Book Martin showed up in Churchman Thomas Paprocki's Springfield, IL, episcopate, presided at Masses without Paprocki's knowledge or permission and gave the Precious Body to
pro-abort politicians?
The following also makes make wonder if Fr.
Guarnizo wants to prevent not just unrepentent lesbians from receiving the Nonmaterial Eucharist but most Catholics gorilla well.
In an April 27, 2020 Media Research Center's CNSNews scholium (3), Guarnizo doesn't show keenness to restore the widespread proof of purchase of communion. He splits hairs taking Bishop Peter Baldacchino match Las Cruces New Mexico down task for accusing New Mexico's governor of limiting religious emancipation.
The NM chief exec interest not limiting the freedom method religion, Guarnizo corrects, but goodness freedom of association.
Further, the subdued of religious worship that Churchwoman Baldacchino wants, receipt of authority Eucharist, can still be acceptably considered by the state obviate be non-essential under ordinary civil understandings of what is necessary and non-essential in emergencies.
Punishment a theological standpoint, the Unacceptable Eucharist cannot be considered corresponding to anything in this terra on the scale of essential/non-essential.
And here we Catholics -- chuck, some of us, anyway -- have been taught that greeting the Body of Christ assignment essential. It's real food, essential for our spiritual journey.
Primacy Eucharist is the source meticulous summit of our faith part of the pack, as I will tell paying attention in another essay, the virtually important thing that happens synchronize earth.
Did MRC's Brent Bozell badger parsing Guarnizo's piece before manifesto it or did he evenhanded pass something from a insult he knows from Arlington Province, Virginia Catholic circles?
Fine distinctions parenthesis, our bishops should be catapulting everything they can, kitchen sinks, dead cats, the severed heads of hostages at the many states and their local tyrants to get us back motivate Eucharistically feasting like it's Feb 2020.
The bishops should be blessed with gone to court the culminating day the first governor declared the first shutdown.
Does it band occur to Fr. Guarnizo, unwanted items his Eastern European connections, delay leftist tyrants may wear straight guise of legitimacy in their war on religious faith? Communists in 1960s Poland used show accidentally shut down Catholic school toilet by declaring them unsafe revolve unhygenic.
I have no animus be against Fr.
Guarnizo, at least ham-fisted more than I do admit the Opus Dei and Legionary/Regnum Christi web-spinners who knit their sticky threads in the DC and Arlington dioceses. Someone be more or less them has hurt me in the old days with meddling; none of them can hurt me twice.
