  • 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"  ???  
    I went to Catholic "light" (pun intended) and put Fr. Cordaro in the search box.  This immediately came up, and the date is April 2017   Perhaps the Oblates of St. Joseph may have more information.

    HOME / NEWS/PRESS RELEASES / NOTICE

    Posted on: 04-13-2017 Posted in: News
    This notice is to inform the Christian faithful that John J. Cordaro, formerly a priest of the Oblates of Saint Joseph, was dismissed from the Oblates by their Superior General on August 8, 1989. He currently has no faculties whatsoever to minister in the Catholic Church. Because he has no faculties, he is forbidden to function as a priest in the Roman Catholic Church.  Furthermore, the Catholic faithful should not receive the sacraments from Mr. Cordaro or attend his celebration of the sacraments, wherever they may be held.

  • I'm trying to finish some tasks today before rebooting to resolve a [expletives deleted!] thrash-a-thon that I'm enduring on my Internet computer, which makes it nearly impossible to successfully make even quite modest edits to a just-submitted posting, before CathInfo's timer, which is counting down on the scarce-few minutes & seconds CathInfo allows for its "Modify" operation, completely rejects my editsSooo, editing in haste to avoid that frustration, it happens that ummm, mistakes are made.

    Arrrgh!  I fouled my quoted reply's 1st bulleted list by clobbering it with my 2nd bulleted list.  This is what readers should have seen as my 1st bulleted list:
    Quote from: AlligatorDicax correct 1st bulleted list
    [....] readers have no way to know what the right-side text "Diocese of Scranton" signifies, e.g.:
    ·  Whereabouts last-known to USCCB?
    ·  Last diocese known to incardinate or issue faculties to that individual?
    ·  Diocese in which the individual was ordained as a priest, or otherwise installed?

    The following bulleted list should have appeared only as the 2nd bulleted list:
    [....] 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?  (any reason to doubt the validity of the ordaining bishop's consecration?)
    ·  Using what ordinal?  (what edition or year of publication?)

    This CathInfo member regrets his hasty error the CathInfo "Modify" count-down timer.

  • 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?
    No summary that I can find and rightly so.  An order is not supposed to say why someone left or why someone was kicked out.  
    Saying that he is now "Mr." indicates he has been laicised.  Laicization is generally done only for very serious crimes and generally of a moral nature.

    Would you mean the photo of the large group that seems to consist of 2 nuns in habits lost amid a herd of elderly Avon ladies?  :facepalm:

    I'll have to remember that one, Avon ladies :jester:. Very good description. And probably not one under 65. Don't they ever wonder why they do not have young women joining?  Even conservative NO orders have a few postulants, particularly those that have a Latin Mass.

    Sounds like he's been independent for a long time. I'm sure someone knows what he's been up to for the past two and a half decades. I'd want to have more verification that he was actually laicized before officially writing him off, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case as good Traditional priests don't just pop up out of nowhere.

  • I guess OLMC will let anyone say mass.

    And, just for the record, it's Cordaro, not Cadaro.  I guess YouTube has a countdown editor, too.  Either that or "10 year old girl productions" doesn't know how to spell.

  • From an impartial observer's view, by the scattered, disjointed "evidence" posted here by the OP it appears that she has a personal issue with this Fr. Cordero.

  • First and foremost what I look for in a priest is whether he was ordained in the old rite by a bishop consecrated in the old formula, because I have serious doubts about whether those ordained by a new formula bishop are really priests. The OP mentions nothing about it, and focuses on a Novus Ordo bishop's dismissal of this priest. The fact that she mentions that the SSPX is accepted by Rome now, tells me her mindset is different than mine, that she only goes to priests or "priests" in union with Rome.

    Therefore, for me, thus far this entire thread does not even answer the first question about this priest

  • Interesting theories, tradican.  Wrong, but interesting.


    Posting data as I find it is charity towards others, which is what more Catholics need.  I have no opinion of him personally.


    We must consider laicization of a priest by Rome as valid, whether it is old Rome or New Rome.  Laicization is serious.


    Remember SSJ?  Do we not consider the laicization of Mr. Ensey as valid?  Or do we allow him to continue his perversion on our sons?  He is available, as I understand, if you can find him.  Perhaps you would like to invite him to your chapel and be around your children?  Probably not.  


    Fr. Tetherow, a confessed and convicted pervert, has not been laicised.   Neither has Fr. Urutigoity.  This tells you how serious laicization is.


    Not everything out of Rome is bad and we must consider some things they do as valid or we have complete and utter chaos with rogue priests doing what they will, no one to rein them in, and no recourse for bad apples.


    Being traditional Catholic is difficult.  We must pick and choose our priests based on who did their ordination, was it done right, what has the priest been doing since, who are his "friends", has he any glaring problems, what is his doctrine, is he a priest, etc.  Any one of which can raise a red flag and we must stop association with him.  These are difficult times we live in.

  • Tetherow is not a priest either, as was announced by the diocese in 2015.

    Did Fr. Pfeiffer send out a summons for all laicized pedophile priests to reportto Boston, KY? Especially any once with the SSJ

    Many words but no questions are answered. Is he ordained in the Old Rite by an old rite consecrated bishop?

    Since when can a priest be laicized by a bishop?  You have shown no proof to support your claim.

    Urutigoity has not been laicized precisely because he is a flaming ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ, they'd have to laicize 50% of the priesthood in South America if they did that.
