I live in the Diocese of Scranton. I still get the Catholic "Lite" due to our time in the NO.
The Diocese of Scranton is two things: a cesspool for pedophile priests AND a cesspool of corruption.
I know for a 100% fact that many good, traditional, and honest priests are run out, and yes, laicized for nothing immoral at all.
I know personally two priests who have been laicized for doing absolutely nothing wrong. Nothing.
In fact, my husband, who is a mental health counselor, was hired by one such priest to do an independent mental health evaluation because he had been found by the Bishops council to be mentally unfit. His mental illness, in case you wonder, was believing that Our Lady of Fatima indeed predicted a chastisement, that the chastisement may well be upon us, and because he was found to be "prepping" for such chastisement. This is a true story. The priest was run out of the diocese completely. He wished to remain a priest but he was laicized and all faculties removed. He attempted to seek refuge with the SSPX but was refused because he had student loan debt. Last I heard he was living with family members out west.
Another priest was laicized for being a whistle blower. That is also a true story. I know this man personally. He is not a creepo, nor a pedophile. He simply could not tolerate the corruption he saw in the diocese and wherever they sent him, he reported it. So they accused him of financial impropriety or something, decided he was mentally unfit, and wham, laicized.
So I don't know what Fr. Cordaro was laicized. It could be simply that he was offering traditional Masses. I know that, for awhile, he was offering them somewhere because ALWAYS the Catholic "Lite" reminded us of Fr. Cordaro and warned us that the SSPX was in schism. Always together. This was around 2004 or 2005.
I also know for 100% fact that there are priests in the Diocese that are disgusting pervs and have been prosecuted that STILL prey on unsuspecting families. The Diocese is full of those as well.
BUT unless someone knows the circuмstances of Father Cordaro it is HIGHLY inappropriate to scandalize him in this manner. I don't know his issue, but I will find out.
I know he was also in Florida. I know, also, that he was a friend of Fr. Wickens and tried desperately to keep his chapel in New Jersey in the hands of the faithful.
