Both you and Fanny are committing the sin of detraction with this thread about Cordero. Unless you two bring forward proof of why he was laicized, this whole thread is garbage.
Exactly!
Father Cordaro was a priest of the Oblates of St. Joseph. He was removed in 1989. 20 years earlier, in 1969, he was giving speeches and working on recruitment to the seminary. He was in a lot of papers in the Diocese. His family is from Scranton. In fact, his brother passed away in 2015.
Why was he dismissed in 1989? Good question. I know a priest was dismissed from the Oblates because he was caught converting people on their death beds and offering traditional Masses.
As far as I know, since Father Cordaro was laicized in 1989, he wouldn't have been associated with the Society of St. John as they were not formed until 1997 and they were watched over by the creepo Bishop Timlin.
The were a multitude of problems with the Society of St. John, including financial matters, as well as accusations of sɛҳuąƖ assault by several students mostly accusing Ensey and Urrutigoity. I don't believe that Father Cordaro was associated with them at the time, unless he was asked to come there an offer Masses. When the Society of St. John was suppressed, it would have been possible to laicize all the priests associated with it, but I don't think Bishop Martino did that.
Subsequently, Bishop Martino, who was actually a friend to tradition, was put under so much pressure by liberal lay people and priests, that he had a mental break down and locked himself in his office just to find some peace. He was practically forced to resign because the Catholics of this Diocese hated him so much.
Unless someone can identify that Father Cordaro was named in any suits of sɛҳuąƖ misconduct, drug abuse, or theft, I don't think it's appropriate to accuse a priest of something he didn't do.
Since Novus Ordo orders aren't valid, why is anyone concerned that a priest was liacized, unless it has to do with pedophilia or ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity?
Father Cordaro may be a different story. He may have been ordained before the changes were made.
