Is he really a "radical" priest?

  • The Haaretz headline reads:Jєωιѕн groups criticize Pope's meeting with radical priest

    The first sentence begins: "Jєωιѕн groups criticized Pope Benedict on Wednesday for meeting with a radical Polish priest, (Father Tadeusz Rydzyk) accused of making anti-Semitic statements."

    Are there traditional Catholic members of this forum who feel that Fr. Rydzyk is a radical?  Does he deviate from Catholic teaching, dogma and morals in some way?  Does he take extreme social and political positions antithetical to the spirit and practice of true Catholicism?  Please explain.

  • That reminds me of an old member of this site -- his name was "radical priest" though here was merely a radical. He was more of a new age hippie, actually.

    He is also the only member that has ever been banned from Cathinfo.

    I think "radical" often is just used to mean "controversial".
