Priest criticizes pope for doing ‘a lot of damage’ to church with recent actions

By Around the Web

(LIFESITE NEWS) – On EWTN’s “The World Over” Thursday, Fr. Gerald Murray, a canon lawyer and regular EWTN contributor, credited Pope Francis with damaging the mission of the Catholic Church, citing his sudden removal of a Puerto Rican bishop and inaction against the dissident German “Synodal Path.”

“An honest and thorough look at the life of the church today has to say, have the actions of Pope Francis contributed to the mission of the Church flourishing or being damaged?” Fr. Murray said during the show’s “Papal Posse” segment.

“And in certain areas there’s a lot of damage,” he added, pointing to the Latin Mass, which the Pope dramatically restricted last year, and his 2016 apostolic exhortation Amoris Laetitia. “You can go down the list.”
