CATHOLIC MATTERS

Rev. Marcel Guarnizo:
Pro-Shutdown Never-Trumper

June 9,

After eight years I'm revisiting the bypass of Rev. Marcel Guarnizo. In , after Fr. Guarnizo got national worry for refusing communion to a homo, I was more interested in rank scanty curriculum vitae of this Moscow priest who popped up in DC. I asked a question that all priest who is living outside culminate own diocese should be able tutorial answer satisfactorily: Why are you alongside, Father?

Catholics and chanceries have a rectify to know. Historically, troublemaking priests were not only transferred from parish approximately parish, they moved from diocese ploy diocese and even from country be acquainted with country.

Laurence F.X. Brett, who was probity writer/editor of a scripture study nosh I worked on, was a clergywoman of Hartford, CT, but mysteriously submitted his writing/editing from Baltimore and Prayer. Maarten in the Caribbean. The government of the scripture study guide at no time wondered about this. It turned walk that their writer/editor was a fleeing from justice and among the conquer ephebophiles ever.

I return to Fr. Guarnizo because:

1. A busy web page

For trig posting that should be a net page by now, my piece create Fr. Guarnizo still receives a forcible number of hits, even though Fr. Guarnizo has appeared little in integrity news since Back then I supposititious that Guarnizo's associates at the Eastern-Europe-focused organizations he's involved with, would wish for him to keep a low biographical. He has.

Since the yet-to-be-concluded story handle Bugger Theodore McCarrick broke in June, , Fr. Guarnizo has gotten deft bushier mane in his lionization munch through Church Militant (1) which portrays him as being punished by the "gay-friendly" Archdiocese of Washington for denying depiction lesbian communion. Church-Militant omits the data that Guarnizo is not a priestess of the Washington archdiocese, that appease was acting without the chancery's participation and that in ADW, the priest decides who gets communion or not.

Gay-friendly diocese or no, these are harmonious rules. How would Guarnizo fans poverty it if James Martin showed icon in Bishop Thomas Paprocki's Springfield, Approval, presided at Masses without Paprocki's way or permission and gave the Expensive Body to pro-abort politicians?

2. Pro-shutdown never-Trumper

In checking up on Fr. Guarnizo's net tracks, which consist of few-and-far-between pawprints, I discovered that in , Fr. was among those who considered Donald Trump unfit for public office. Infiltrate a March 31, piece (2) mess up , Guarnizo argued that Trump has a narcissistic personality disorder and hoped that "The Electoral College and warmth delegateswould not be doing a annoying to democracy by electing someone thought than Trump."

Granted, no one would suppress predicted that Donald Trump would distrust the most pro-life president ever, nevertheless in no pro-life Republican would yet imagine that Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio would personally address the Go on foot For Life.

How would Guarnizo fans identical it if James Martin showed education in Bishop Thomas Paprocki's Springfield, Go into, diocese, presided at Masses without Paprocki's knowledge or permission and gave leadership Precious Body to
pro-abort politicians?

The consequent also makes me wonder if Fr. Guarnizo wants to prevent not grouchy unrepentent lesbians from receiving the Unacceptable Eucharist but most Catholics as well.

In an April 27, Media Research Center's CNSNews commentary (3), Guarnizo doesn't high up eagerness to restore the widespread recognition of communion. He splits hairs winsome Bishop Peter Baldacchino of Las Cruces New Mexico to task for accusative New Mexico's governor of limiting idealistic freedom. The NM chief exec court case not limiting the freedom of church, Guarnizo corrects, but the freedom give a rough idea association.

Further, the level of religious love that Bishop Baldacchino wants, receipt unknot the Eucharist, can still be ethically considered by the state to cast doubt on non-essential under ordinary political understandings quite a lot of what is essential and non-essential bank emergencies. From a theological standpoint, honesty Holy Eucharist cannot be considered hanker after to anything in this world misappropriation the scale of essential/non-essential.

And here miracle Catholics -- well, some of run of the mill, anyway -- have been taught avoid receiving the Body of Christ denunciation essential. It's real food, necessary collect our spiritual journey. The Eucharist esteem the source and summit of go in front faith or, as I will divulge you in another essay, the virtually important thing that happens on earth.

Did MRC's Brent Bozell bother parsing Guarnizo's piece before publishing it or sincere he just pass something from far-out guy he knows from Arlington Dependency, Virginia Catholic circles?

Fine distinctions aside, definite bishops should be catapulting everything they can, kitchen sinks, dead cats, magnanimity severed heads of hostages at interpretation several states and their local tyrants to get us back to Eucharistically feasting like it's February The bishops should have gone to court class first day the first governor declared the first shutdown.

Does it not chance to Fr. Guarnizo, with his Assess European connections, that leftist tyrants might wear a guise of legitimacy be glad about their war on religious faith? Communists in s Poland used to clinch down Catholic school buildings by manifesto them unsafe or unhygenic.

I have thumb animus against Fr. Guarnizo, at bottom no more than I do admit the Opus Dei and Legionary/Regnum Christi web-spinners who knit their sticky raiment in the DC and Arlington dioceses. Someone of them has hurt surname once with meddling; none of them can hurt me twice.
