So in the interest of fairness and showing we are not unduly discriminating, Ms. Fanny, why are you asking us to believe there is something more sinister with this particular priest you created this thread about.

Fanny, is there no summary of why he was kicked out?  All you posted was that he no longer has faculties.  Why does he not have faculties anymore?  Does the docuмent not say?  If it doesn't say, are we supposed to google and come up with our own opinion?  What does that solve?

Written here on CI, back in 2013, this is not definitive, but perhaps it can shed light on why information can be scarce.

Name That Priest

I served as webmaster for the chapel in Sanford since 2005 through earlier this year. You may have remembered last year there was a docuмent from Rome in regards to a "friend of the Society chapel" which was in Jacksonville. The docuмent basically said that someone couldn't go to this Mass. The Church belongs to Fr. Marshall Roberts. The docuмent was turned into the Internet on a Thursday and on Friday my phone was blown up by Fr. Duvergier and Vernoy regarding this docuмent and that any mention of either Fr. Roberts of his chapel had to be removed.

On the SSPX chapel website we had pictures of Fr. Roberts since he assisted at a rather poorly executed altar consecration (in which during the ceremony amongst other things the altar stone broke). I received numerous calls from the priests (despite being at work and helping patients and nurses with discharges from hospitals across America) that not only did these images/texts had to be removed from the SSPX website, but I should run a program on the website to make sure all mention is gone. Also, I was told point blank by Fr. Duvergier that if someone were to ask me why there is no longer any mention of Fr. Roberts on the site, then I'm to tell them I know nothing. Yes, a Catholic who runs a website is supposed to "know nothing" about his website?

Not everyone has this mentality within the SSPX and I'm not going to paint with a broad brush but such actions, after praying about it for months, are simply cultish.


Ordained?/Re: Fr. Cordaro not a priest

Aha!   N.B.: The Diocese of Pittsburgh is too clueless to embed the date of what is apparently a periodical publication in the Web address at which they're storing it.

Quote from: CANON AND CIVIL LAW REVIEW ... DIOCESE OF PITTSBURGH (November 2006)
[....]
M. NOTICES REGARDING INDIVIDUALS PRESENTING THEMSELVES AS PRIESTS IN GOOD STANDING
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has published notices regarding priests who are not in good standing and do not possess the faculties of their diocese or religious community.  Should you be contacted by them please notify the Vicar for Canonical Services immediately.
[....]
Fr. John J. Cordaro   Diocese of Scranton
[....]
Mr. Andy Richardson   (not ordained)

The names immediately above are unable to be shown in the 2-column format in which they originally appeared in the docuмent that's cited in the Web address above.  Even were I able to show the columns in the PDF, they completely lacked any heading, so in the case of Cordaro, readers have no way to know what the right-side text "Diocese of Scranton" signifies, e.g.:
·  Last diocese to issue faculties to that individual?
·  By whom?  (any reason to doubt the validity of his consecration?)
·  Using what ordinal?  (what edition or year of publication?)

Note that Cordaro is listed as a "F[athe]r".  So the first-things-first question for which CathInfo readers are overdue to be provided with a docuмented answer:
·  Where & when was he ordained as a priest, or otherwise installed?
·  By whom?
·  Using what ordinal?  (what year's edition?)

Please understand that I showed Richardson's name only because he's the docuмent's only individual who is listed as not a priest (I suspect that he's otherwise completely irrelevant to this topic).  Yes, I'm well aware that "(not ordained)" is the chronological opposite of "laicized".

Thread in response to Last Tradhican's question and reference that it is from the CI poster, White Wolf:

"I went down to the chancery office and inquired about Fr Cordaro, and was told more or less that he was some pervert associated with Shohola [...the SSJ], but no docuмentation was forthcoming.  I call the district office in Elmhurst and talked to (I cannot even recall the name of that superior, the post was a revolving door at the time, and I'm not going to bother to look it up.)  the superior and he told me it was a problem for the diocese.  Meanwhile, the diocese told me the problem was for the FSSP to resolve.

I could not find the reference in "Catholic Light" (play on words for Scranton NO?) to the priest in question, but as a side note did you see the photo on page 3 of the "sisters"  ???
